Microsoft has released updates for the Mac versions of its productivity suites Office 2004, Office 2008, and Office 2011. All updates address security issues, as well as the stability, and reliability of the suites.
All users of Microsoft Office for Mac are being told to update. The Redmond giant explains why in security bulletin MS11-045.
For Microsoft Office 2011, the Windows maker provides a more detailed look.
Microsoft Office For Mac 2011 14.8 Updates
In the Microsoft Office 2011 14.7.7 Update volume window, double-click the Office 2011 14.7.7 Update application to start the update process, and then follow the instructions on the screen. If the installation finishes successfully, you can remove the update installer from your hard disk. Microsoft Office 2011 helps you create professional documents and presentations. And since Office for Mac 2011 is compatible with Office for Windows, you can work on documents with virtually anyone, anywhere. Work well with others. Be on the same page with Office for Mac and Office for Windows, including new features in Office 2010. Feb 10, 2015 The Office for Mac 14.4.8 update is also available from Microsoft AutoUpdate. AutoUpdate is a program that automatically keeps Microsoft software up-to-date. To use AutoUpdate, start a Microsoft Office program. Then, click Check for Updates on the Help menu. In addition, see more information about resources for Office for Mac 2011.
“The Office for Mac 2011 14.1.2 Update contains several changes that improve security, stability, and reliability,” Microsoft says.
The 14.1.2 update for Office for Mac 2011 includes improvements for all of the applications comprising the suite.
- If Update Options is missing under Product Information, and the About button is the only option available, you either have a volume license or your company is using Group Policy to manage Office updates. Try Microsoft Update to get the latest updates or contact your company help desk. To download an update manually, see Office Updates.
- You have to replace Office 2011 if you want to use Mac OS 10.15 Catalina or later. No, you don't have to replace. You can continue to use Mac OS X 10.14.5. Office 2011 is 32-bit and will never be 64-bit. Jim, should I replace Office 2011 to Office 2019 and if so, do I have to buy and pay for it again???
Microsoft cannot stress enough that security is a top priority this time around, with the update fixing vulnerabilities in Office 2011 that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer’s memory with malicious code.
The company highlights some of the improvements in Outlook and Word for Mac 2011. Here’s the breakdown for Outlook:
Reliability of Free/Busy information is improved · This update fixes an issue that causes incorrect Free/Busy information to be shown in Outlook 2011 when Microsoft Exchange servers are located in the UTC +8 Perth time zone.
Reliability of delegate information is improved
· This update fixes issues that sometimes cause delegate information to be lost when the following conditions are true:· Changes are made to account settings.· User certificates are added or removed.
Stability is improved
· This update fixes an issue that causes some users to be unable to log on after you upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 Service Pack 1.
For those relying on the popular ‘Word’ processor, reliability is improved for Japanese users typing in Hiragana input mode.
Stability is improved via code corrections to the way Word opens items from the template gallery, or when the user employs the Advanced Find and Replace function.
Users can update by either downloading the standalone Microsoft Office for Mac 14.1.2 installer package, or via the built-in software update mechanism in any of the Office apps running on their Mac.
