If you are using latest Catalina OS, Microsoft Office 2011 will no longer work on it and you will have to use Office 365 or 2019. All your 2011 office can be opened on Office 365 or 2019. Ask Your Own Microsoft Office Question. I just want to call you out on some BS – ‘very old versions of Word and Excel that were 32-bit’ – excuse me, everything on my Mac was 32-bit until this latest update, Catalina. And ‘the developers need a sustainable way to update software’ just means they want more money for mostly the same product. 100 dollars a year? Nov 11, 2019 Office 2011 and older versions of Microsoft Office simply do not run in Catalina. They are 32-bit. Apple stops support for 32-bit apps with Catalina.

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.

If you have Office 2016 or 2019, you can open the Microsoft AutoUpdate app to find out if there are updated versions of Office. Alternatively, click “Help” in Word, Excel or PowerPoint and “Check for Updates”.

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.
