Split from this thread about Office 2011

I also have this problem but am unable to follow your instructions. My new MacBook does not have a DVD drive, so I cannot reinstall the original DVD. Hope you can help. Thanks

    Hi

    You can download the latest full and final Office 2011 install (which is build 14.7.7) from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=273962. You will need to enter your brand new never been used before product key (25 characters) to activate it.

    However, if you have a brand new Mac and it is really new, then you might have Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina operating system, which does not run 32-bit applications. Office 2011 is 32-bit and will not run in Catalina at all. If you have Catalina, you will need Office 2019 via an Office 365 subscription to get the latest features.

    Hi

    The question you referred to was about locating the installer of Office 2011, and you said you were unable to install 2011 due to a lack of a DVD drive. However, I did notice that you indicated you have a new Mac and that it would likely have Catalina. Apple does not allow Office 2011 to run in Catalina. Office 2011 along with Office 2004, and 98 are no longer supported in Mac OS, which is by design by Apple.

    Apple does not all ANY 32-bit applications to run in Catalina. That includes even the latest builds of common software up to the date Catalina was released. Things like Adobe Reader, Adobe Acrobat, etc all will not run in Catalina.

    Unfortunately, Apple also does not allow regressing to old versions of Mac OS on new hardware, so you have to get 64-bit versions of any software you want to run.

    You can continue to use Office 2011 on the hardware and operating system you had previously.
