Compatibility
  1. Microsoft Office compatibility. As we warned back in June, older Office for Mac will not work with MacOS Catalina. If you have Office 2011 for Mac or before, do NOT update to Catalina because Office will stop working. There’s no workaround for this.
  2. Oct 14, 2019 Here's why Microsoft Word 2011, old versions of Photoshop, and other software doesn't work on macOS Catalina: Apple dropped support for all 32-bit apps from the operating system.
  3. If you want to use Office 2011 you can restore your system to a point prior to installing Catalina. Restore your Mac from a backup - Apple Support Apple dropped support for ALL 32-bit applications, drivers, hardware, etc in Cataliina.
  4. Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update. Microsoft has released the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update. In addition to the application improvements that are mentioned in this article, Office for Mac 2011 is now available as a subscription offering.

Microsoft office for mac is a completely different version from the office for windows because it is a version which is totally based on the Microsoft Office productivity suite for mac os x. This Microsoft office for mac is one of the best and successors of 2011 and it is followed by the Microsoft office for mac of 2007.

macOS Catalina (due in late September) will be dropping support for 32bit apps. macOS Mojave has been warning us about this every time we launch one of these apps and action on your part will be needed soon. One of the most popular 32bit apps we see is Microsoft Office 2011, which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint. If you have been limping along with Office 2008, the same warning applies. See the icons below to determine which version you have.

If you are planning on upgrading to Catalina in the fall when it is released, why not save yourself some grief and upgrade to the 2019 version of Office now? The “perpetual” version is $149 (for Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and Office 365 starts at $69 a year.

Microsoft Office 2011 And Mac Catalina

IMPORTANT NOTE: Office 2016 and 2019 need to be upgraded to the latest “builds”. Build 16.16.11 or later is required for Office 2016, and build 16.26 or later is required for Office 2019. It would be advisable to do this BEFORE upgrading to Catalina, as it may require reinstalling from Microsoft if you upgrade to Catalina first.
