Microsoft has officially for Office for Mac 2011 as scheduled, nearly seven years after the software suite was first released. 2011 versions of Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint will no longer receive feature or security updates as of October 10, 2017.
Any form of paid or free technical support from Microsoft has also ended indefinitely. Microsoft Lync for Mac 2011 still has an extended support period through October 9, 2018 for any possible security updates. Since the mainstream support period for the rest of the Office for Mac 2011 was already extended beyond the usual five years, there is no extended support period for those apps. In other words, support has completely ended. Earlier this year, Microsoft said it had Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Lync on macOS High Sierra, but some users on the web have reported that the suite is mostly functional on the new operating system. Word 2011 totally works in High Sierra: — Spider Mann (@spidermann) Microsoft recommends users upgrade to Office 2016 for Mac, which is fully supported on macOS High Sierra.
OS X 10.10 or later is required. (Thanks, Jacob Harvey!). I'm still on Office 2011 on my Mac which is running High Sierra. Works just as well as always, which is to say that while it is a bloated and laggy piece of software, it is no more bloated and laggy than it was previously.
I tried installing 2016 on this same Mac last year and found it to be an even worse experience so I promptly re-installed 2011. The price of Office 365 or a standalone copy of Office for one computer + the inherent level of B.S. One has to put up with when using Microsoft Office means that I can't justify 'up'grading from 2011. I'm not surprised at all. Just because Microsoft is cheap and doesn't want to bother maintaining their software unless they feel they absolutely have to, and wants to charge tons of money for a laggy upgrade, isn't the fault of the consumers who are upset by this. I'm not Microsoft fan but show me another developer that actively updates their 7+ year old software, even when they have a newer version available. Apple, Adobe, and others don't.
Businesses rely on this software every day to help them generate billions of dollars in value. It's silly to think they can't be bothered to pay a small fee once every 7 or so years for something so critical to their business.
J asked: Do you know how to turn off the name of the reviewer to make a review anonymous? While you can’t turn off/remove an individual reviewer’s name as far as I can find out (Yes you can — see further information at the end of this post on how to do this, based on Tyler’s comment from 10 April 2013), you can remove ALL reviewers names from your document, just leaving the markup/comments, but without names. A little bit of Googling found that you can remove ALL reviewer names from a document, but not just one. See these:. (see the instructions in the ‘Make reviewer names anonymous’ section).
You can also change YOUR user name ( Review Track Changes Change User Name), but no-one else’s. Be aware that making this change applies to ALL Office documents you create. If you want to change the information about the author etc., then in Word 2010 you can go to File Info and click Properties on the far right panel, then Advanced Properties to display the old Document Properties box you used to see in Word 2003. Doing a File Save As will NOT change the original author/company details; you can only change this manually in the Document Properties dialog box.
To remove a single reviewer’s name from Comments With thanks to Tyler Moore (comment dated 10 April 2013) for enough information for me to write up this solution fully. Make sure the document you are working on is in Word 2007 or later format (i.e.
DOCX extension). Save a COPY of this document and WORK ON THE COPY ONLY until you’re satisfied you’ve achieved what you want. If you make an unrecoverable error, you can always go back to your original. Close the Word document. Go to the file location of the copy of the document and change its extension from docx to zip. Say Yes to make this change. Double-click the new zip file and open it in WinZip or similar. Do NOT extract the files.
(I only have WinZip, so the rest of these steps relate to WinZip; your zip software should work similarly). Within WinZip, double-click the word folder — there will be several XML files listed.
Right-click on the comments.xml file and select a text editor to open it with (e.g. EditPlus, Expression Web, even Notepad if you have nothing else though other text editor show color-coded syntax and are easier to read). Once open, press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog box (if Ctrl+H doesn’t work in your text editor, find the Find/Replace tool and open it). In the Find What field, type w:author=”” where you substitute for the name of the reviewer you want to remove; e.g. If the reviewer’s name is Joe Bloggs, then type w:author=”Joe Bloggs”.
In the Replace With field, type w:author=”” (i.e. Click Replace All. In the Find What field, type w:initials=”” where you substitute for the initials of the reviewer you want to remove; e.g. If the reviewer’s initials are JB then type w:initials=”JB”.
In the Replace With field, type w:initials=”” (i.e. No initials). Click Replace All. Repeat steps 9 to 14 for any other reviewer names/initials you want to remove. Save the comments.xml file. If you’re asked to update the zip file, do so (in WinZip, choose the Update zip file with changes option).
Right-click on the document.xml file and select a text editor to open it with. Once open, press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog box. In the Find What field, type w:author=”” where you substitute for the name of the reviewer you want to remove; e.g. If the reviewer’s name is Joe Bloggs, then type w:author=”Joe Bloggs”. In the Replace With field, type w:author=”” (i.e. Click Replace All. Typically, the document.xml file doesn’t store the initials, but to be certain press Ctrl+F and search for w:initials.
If there’s nothing found, move on to the next step. If you get a match, follow steps 12 to 14, then move on to the next step.
Repeat steps 19 to 22 for any other reviewer names you want to remove. Save the document.xml file. If you’re asked to update the zip file, do so (in WinZip, choose the Update zip file with changes option). Close the zip program.
Change the file extension back to docx. Open the Word document.
If all went well, you should now have comments with dates, but no initials or reviewer names for the reviewers you removed. If all is good, archive off the original document and start using the revised one. Troubleshooting: If you get an error when opening the Word document, or you find all the comments are missing (!) it’s likely that you inadvertently removed a required space between elements in the XML file(s). How do I know?
Because I did it! The solution is to rename the file as a zip file again, open the zip file, open the comments.xml and document.xml files in a text editor and look for things like w:id=”25″w:author=”” — there should be a space between the ending ” of the first part and the following w (i.e. It should be w:id=”25″ w:author=””). Do a find for “w: (no spaces) and replace with ” w: (a space between the ” and the w). Save the changes, update and close the zip file, and rename the file back to a docx file. Links last checked April 2013.
Actually, there is a way to change or delete the name of a single reviewer. It has to be done via the document’s xml. Close the document. Right-click and select Rename. Add “.zip” to the end of the file. It will ask if you’re sure you want to change the extension. Click “Yes.” Within the zip file are a number of XML files.
Under the “word” directory, you will find the file “comments.xml.” Search for the tags “w:author” and “w:initials.” Change the name and initials of the user you’re targeting. There should also be the file “document.xml.” Search for the same tags there and make the same changes. It’s a bit of a pain, but if it’s worth the effort, there you go!
Tyler Moore April 10, 2013 at 10:46 am. That’s very complicated. I have a macro that deletes and then reinserts each comment. (We have multiple reviewers but want the end result to appear as if they came from one reviewer.) I’m sure this could be repurposed to accomplish the same goal. You can actually strip that If/Then statement out. It’s not needed for the main purpose of the macro.
However, do note that this macro was intended as a starting point. At the moment, all it does is delete and then reinsert each comment. However, if you added this after the Dim statements: Dim myUsername, myUserinitials As String myUsername = Application.UserName myUserinitials = Application.UserInitials Application.UserName = “Anonymous” ‘or whatever you like Application.UserInitials = “ABC” ‘or whatever you like and then at the end (after “Done:” so that your name gets restored): Application.UserName = myUsername Application.UserInitials = myUserinitials Basically, this remembers the current username and initials, then changes them to whatever you want, and then, at the end, restores the original username and initials.
September 11, 2014 at 6:30 am. Hi Chrissy You do this to the file name in Windows Explorer. You need to have file extensions visible to do this, however. To make them visible: 1. Open the folder containing the Word doc in Explorer. Click Organize on the Explorer toolbar. Select Folder and Search Options.
Select the View tab. Scroll down and uncheck ‘Hide extensions for known file types’. Once you can see the file extension, you should be able to rename the file so that it has a zip extension instead of docx. –Rhonda April 26, 2017 at 10:49 am.
