I'm still using Office 2011 for Mac version 14.7.7 on all five of my Macs and all are running High Sierra 10.13.6. I haven't seen any issues at all but maybe there are some. I read that some of the data integration features such as with Calendar (which I don't use) require Office 2016 for Mac or later (Office 2019 for Mac is on the way) but that has been an issue for several years. I would make sure Office 2011 is fully updated to the latest 14.7.7 before upgrading the MacOS.
Got a tip for us?

IIRC, I would get occasional weird UI behaviour with Excel, but then again that was with early versions of High Sierra. I did a search, and it seems others have had Excel issues as well:

Mind you for me it's kinda irrelevant since I've upgraded to Office 2016. Turns out my I could get a few cheap licences through my job. I haven't tested Office 2011 with the latest version of High Sierra.
I've never updated Office 2011 since I've had it in 2011... To be honest, only mainly use Word. Didn't know you could. Mine is on 14.1.0, how do you update it?

Thank you for your help, I get this message all the time, and my connection is fine, it's something with theirs? I do wait plenty of 'minutes'... but I always get the same thing.

You probably need to update the updated first (ah, Microsoft...) Here's a link to their downloads page:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/release-history-microsoft-autoupdate
You'll have to see what version works with 10.6, IIRC support for that OS was dropped ages ago. It's a good idea to update the apps before you upgrade to High Sierra.
Ah yes, It's all coming back to me now, why I fell in love with OSX 9 years ago after Windows......
Thanks for that, I'll try to update, before the update! If it won't work, it'll be a suck it and see.
OK, that update requires Mac 10.10 so it won't let me download updater. I'll need to put El Cap on to get it....
You should still be fine. Once you update to 10.11 (at this point, you’re better off with at least 10.12 as 10.11 is about to fall out of support from Apple) you can install the updated updater, run it, update the MS Office apps, and be good to go.
