    Hi,

    I'm very sorry, but unfortunately Office 365 and 2021/2024 will no longer be usable with the edit and save functions on Mac OS 11.7.10

    The link below explains the situation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/officeinstall/update-m365-office-macos-ios

    In this case, you will need to update your Mac to version 12 (Monterey) and have an Office 2021/2024 license or a Microsoft 365 subscription to access these full features.

    Microsoft Office is no longer maintained for older operating systems or devices.

    In your case, you will only be able to view and print in Office 365.

    You can also check out Office for the web, which is free:

    I am sorry about this; have a good week.

    Please consider rating the question (accepting the answer or not) and visiting the Microsoft Q&A community if you have further questions.

    Thanks.
