I’ve managed to get a second hand copy of Office 2011 for Mac to run under OS 10.9 Mavericks.
I had trouble getting it to work as it kept crashing but following some online advice I managed to change something in Terminal and it now works. The next problem is that I can’t register the software, no doubt because it’s trying to get to a web address discontinued by Microsoft many years ago. It looks like I’ve only got 15 days before it stops working? Anyone got any ideas to get round this? I doubt Microsoft are going to be very sympathetic about second hand long discontinued software.
It’s also advised to update Office to 14.7.7 but I can’t see anyone having the update?
