PS: I also have a PC laptop that has Windows MS Word and Excel, so more likely I'll be sharing files forth and back between the two computers.Įdit: added a 3rd question and specified the MSOffice I have: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 (Windows). I only worked with MS Word and MS Excel, so not sure if that'll be a challenge to learn again something other than MS and also if there will be any compatibility issues when going forth an back between softwares and files. Click Continue when prompted to proceed with the installation process. After the download has completed, open Finder, go to Downloads, double-click MicrosoftOfficeInstaller.pkg. Thoughts?ģ- Is there maybe a possibility to install a copy from my Pc to the Mac? How can I check how many licenses I have on my PC? If that's possible then that should solve the issue. From the resulting page, click the red Install Office button to download the installer. Apparently, it's also able to handle pdf work. I don't think I have any pdf software neither.ġ- Is there a free version of Microsoft I can install? I just need to run the applications on the computer, locally, don't need any cloud access etc.Ģ- Otherwise, I read that there are alternatives like LibreOffice and OpenOffice, with LibreOffice being most quoted. I have an iMac with no Word or Excel on it. If you bought a stand-alone version of an Office app, for example Visio or Word, in most cases you install this app in the same way you install the Microsoft.
