Do you need further assistance with this? For Office to run on your Mac, the computer must have macOS Monterey or later. Your Microsoft Office license must be able to run release 16.83 or later (meaning that you can't use Office 2019 anymore).

For more, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/officeinstall/update-m365-office-macos-ios .

I have the macOS Monterey version 12.5. I am being billed for a 365 subscription however I do have the apps download on my Mac. That is how I have been accessing my Microsoft office apps like Word and Excel. Now, when I go to access my documents it says I can only view them. I tried to click the activate key and I get the error message 0x0. I was able to log onto to my office 365 but not sure if its the free version or the one I am paying for because I dont have any documents. I don't mind using the 365 but how can I transfer my documents from my desktop to the Microsoft drive on 365?

There are a couple of widely reported problems, including that 0x0 error with the Office apps on an Apple Mac at the moment due to the July 13 update

1

What version of Microsoft Office do you have, is that a subscription to Microsoft 365 or a standalone version of Office like Office 2019, 2021 or 2024.

At the top left of your Desktop, click the Apple icon and select 'About this Mac', what version of MacOS is installed on your computer?
