I've had no real problems with it at all - beyond some documents (including Excel) take longer than they should / used to to open. Ans, as it turns out, this install was a week before they stopped supporting 2011, so I ensured I had all the updates applicable before the deadline. I had Office 365 / 2016 as part of a job with a university, but I yanked it when I was no longer there and installed my 'old' 2011 Home & Student on High Sierra, though MS stated it would not work. My situation is that I am happy with 2011 and they have been supporting it longer than I thought they would - awesome I don't think there is any Generic answer to upgrading MS Office - but it seems 2016 and the 365 version is a closer match to the windows version capabilities than ever before. On the other hand - I am not a fan of the subscription payments. He bought it and tells me I should upgrade every time we discuss software / MS OFFICE etc. that is a pretty good run and took a lot of support from Microsoft to make sure they work with these OS versions.įor a different perspective - a good friend of mine who uses excel extensively told me that because of Pivot Tables, some other financial functions and macros - that the upgrade was worth it for him as soon as 2016 appeared. MS-office-2011 - first off - IMHO- best value for money I have ever spent in software - and I bought 3 copies because of company / consulting situations - they all work up to and including (so far) High Sierra.

I use MS office 2011 on sierra and have tested briefly on High Sierra - but HS is not my working Mac OS and I just opened a few files etc. My question is what experience have you all had? I trust this site more than mso site. Lastly, I would prefer the stand along MSO 2016 but you only get one year of upgrades and patches and support. I am most interested in the PAST SPECIAL feature in Excel where you can paste link, or just paste formulas, or values, etc. I would love to upgrade to high sierra but not until I'm confident that my word and excel will work with it. I know that you must have the latest version of Office to work on high sierra.

MS claims that Office 365 Personal works on high sierra but if you look at their website there are many unhappy folks with many problems including software incompatibility with MSO 365 and the stand along MSO 2016. I downgraded my OS back down to MACOSSierra 10.12.6 so I could continue to use my excel financial worksheets. My excel workbooks stopped working-i.e., not compatible. I upgraded my OS in 11/2017 from MACOSSierra 10.12.6 to MACOS High Sierra 10.13.1. I have MSO for MAC Home & Student 2011 installed software.
