Someone had experience with MS Office 2016 and El Capitan?

I was wondering if anyone has used Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac with OS 10.11.5 for awhile, especially Word?

I just finished setting up a new of the retina end 2015 13 "Macbook Pro.  I used Office 2004 and 2008 on my old Macbook (early 2006, OS 10.6.8).)  I'm a writer, so I use especially Word and Entourage for email. (I kept 2004 because I had a lot of trouble with the Word 2008 .docx files in Snow Leopard and 2004 .doc files compatibility seem to crash less often, although the MS told me that 2004 theoretically will not work with Snow Leopard).

Have been planning to shell out for 2016 Office for Mac, I am dreading out of it because I know from experience that things are never perfectly with any part of the office and there is always a learning curve.  So today I discovered that the resolution of a problem with Apple Care that Word 2008, who immigrated in my new computer with all the rest, can always open old Word files.  So even though I'm assuming that I couldn't go back to work until I installed Office 2016, it seems I can, which is good because I have a date limit.

However, I am uncomfortable to work in Word 2008.  I need to decide whether to risk losing data (I have no reason to believe that Word suddenly remembered how to do automatic recovery or figure out how not to crash OS 10.11.5; probably the contrary) or install Office 2016 and spend a week learning to work in it. Questions:

1. those who have Office 2008 for Mac tried using Word 2008 for Mac OS 10.11.5? It crash a lot?  Forget all about Auto Recovery etc. ? Or has it been pretty smooth sailing?

2 anyone used Word in OS 10.11.5 a few months, and how it you please?  I know that 2016 Office for Mac had a lot of glitches when it first came out in 2015 for use in El Capitan, although I read that those who have been fixed.  If you use Word a lot, do you think that it works as it is supposed to?

3 how easy or problematic has find you the transition from Word 2008 for Mac-2016 of the word?

Thank you very much in advance for any advice about all this - much appreciated!

I use Office for Mac 2016 and have found no problem - but I'm not a heavy user and did not use from 2008. My main reason for the assignment is to say that you can also get feedback from the Community for Office for Mac forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

  • Office 2016 and El Capitan

    Hello world:

    I have a mini mac end of 2012, the intel core i7 to 2.3 Ghz with 16gig of ram.

    I'm running OS X 10.11.3.

    I currently have Office 2011.

    Especially, it is ok, but I noticed a few things here & there to the word & PPT especially since Microsoft has not wanted to include in the Mac version (go figure).

    In any case, for reasons to stay up-to-date with changes etc, I am considering buying the Office 2016 Home/Microsoft Office Student version. [absolutely not interested in 365].  That is the question... I had read here & there that it was high time pips between Office 2016 and El Capitan...

    All this is in the past now? I'd be interested to hear users who run Office 2016 House/student on a system of El Capitan.

    Thank you!

    T.M.

    First, Office 365 is just a subscription service. All subscriber Office 365 is running the same version of Office as a Subscriber (although they have early access to the latest versions), so this isn't a problem.

    I use Office 2016 in my iMac and MacBook Pro, two of them with OS X El Capitan, and it works without any problem. These compatibility issues with OS X El Capitan were supposedly fixed with OS X 10.11.1 update.

  • Have you had experience with a XP application "master password", please help me if so.

    My PC used for me (sometimes still don't) asked if to remember a password for a website.  I'm sure you've been asked this too. Often, when I was ask--that he would ask several times - I saidYes for many of my Web sites.

    After a few weeks of use like this and a few sites passed. A prompt me a NEW FEATURE of Windows XP that would allow me to encrypt or make a unique password for when I wanted to, those already informed the STORED passwords, to be applied/used /-entered automatically was now available.

    So I decided I would try the functionality and create the 'master' password, if you want to call it that.

    Now the password doesn't work.  When I enter it in the field it just re-guest the same window, empty, as if I had done nothing.

    Sometimes pressing the button cancel will do the same.

    Suffice it to say this 'new', I think that this! Now it NEVER works as it should. (it occurs rarely)

    I want to disable this security feature, but can NOT find and option that will allow me to do any where within the parameters of security controls.

    IF anyone has HAD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS KEY - word of PAST PROGRAM/APPLICATION,PLEASE the HAND ME of SOME ADVICE.

  • Is there a version of Acrobat that will work with the office 2016?

    For the moment, I put my laptop upgraded and bought Office 2016 and Windows 10. I previously used Acrobat Pro XI with office 2013 and have enjoyed the use of the Acrobat tool bar/options in all Office programs. I understand that Acrobat Pro XI won't do this with office 2016. Is there a version of Acrobat that will fit with office 2016?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Leni,

    2106 office is compatible with Adobe Acrobat DC, you can consult the list of compatibility: Compatible browsers and applications of PDFMaker

    Your Acrobat Pro XI also works but Ribbon PDFMaker won't work with office applications.

    I own Acrobat Pro and downloaded the latest version. I also improved my 2016 from office to office, but the Acrobat option does not appear in the Office components like previously in 2013 office. How can I get that back? I often secret several worksheets in PDF format and it is tedious to print them one at a time and then combine. I used to be able to select all the worksheets I wanted and combine them in one go.

    Acrobat XI is not compatible with Office 2016 for the moment. Please wait for future updates.

  • I had problems with my gc, cleaned and he is now allowed outside my control file system system, that it will take place at 68% and stops running

    I had problems with my graphics card cleaned and it works well apart from the system of checking file system on C: turns 68% and stops. If I have to cancel the computer checking seems to work ok, or is it?

    I guess that Mark_S_Sloan is talking about chkdsk /r or running a disk check with fixed error on a restart. so I would say that what I used to say the performance is chkdsk:

    The chkdsk/r can take a long time to complete depending on the size of the volume, the amount of data on the volume, the speed of the system and what chkdsk is to do.  It take about 2 hours for chkdsk/r run on one of the volumes of my1TB (I'm a right that I rarely run).

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.  Give him a chance.

    @Imran M - Microsoft technical support engineer:

    Don't you know that the performance of the auditor of the filesystem (sfc/scannow) does not provide a percentage of completion?  Have you ever used it?

    He also really tell you anything about what he did, or could have done when it is executed even if she finds something to do.

    Everything you see in the Event Viewer system log are messages like this:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64016
    Analysis of file File Protection Windows has been started.

    .. few time later...

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Windows File Protection
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 64017
    Windows File Protection file analysis completed successfully.

    Even if sfc/scannow find something to do, you will know about it, because it is not connected.

    That's why use sfc/scannow still more of a waste of time.

  • Experiences with RED R3D: CS5 and in general?

    I'll post my first spot with images of a RED One next week. I've only played with a few clips and not tried anything 'real' with her yet.

    The film is made in 4K 16 x 9, I think of 23.976. Final delivery will be 720/30 p for broadcasting/cablecasting. Fortunately, no sound synchronization worry in this one. I get the RED drive full of pictures tomorrow afternoon, so I'll have some time to play with the equipment.

    My system seems to be OK with clips of 4.5 K I tested. I kick down to 1/4 and 1/2 resolution break, and things reading seems catchy. My system is a i7-930 @ 4 GHz, 24GO RAM, GTX 480, 4-drive RAID 5 off the coast of the mobo that serves as my main drive of edition.

    I looking for general advice dealing with this material in general at the OS level, just in case where there are best practices and pitfalls to the extent of the CS5 is concerned. I am trying to determine what would be the best configuration of the sequence to be used; I want to use a preset matching RED, or by mail to my destination size/frame rate? My usual approach with my own 1080 p material (DVCPRO HD, primarily) is to change in a sequence of 1080 p full raster and then export them directly to 720 p to deliver. I think I'll take the same approach here, working at 4K and export to the final, but I'm open to suggestions. Work at a lower frame size would obviously give me sliding options.

    I can do a little light AE work on this; nothing too things I flip that quite quickly. I hope to make it a shine - the producer is terrified of RED (of course, he's the one who usually shoots 35mm and there telecine to miniDV), and if all goes well I'll have much more regular tasks to do like this... and I'll get to raise rates!

    Thanks in advance you seasoned REDitors

    Hey Colin,.

    I have worked extensively with R3D in PPSC5 and REDCINE-X.

    First note - don't bother with Cine-X... Now that CS5 (starting from 5.0.3) supports the new science of the color in the build 30, there is no need to use movie-X as an intermediary. According to my experience it is both very slow and also VERY unstable. If you start to do too much, it crashes. And this isn't just my system, word on the street, it's that Cine-X is unstable both on the PC and the Mac, period.

    Then, use PPro CS5 for everything you do with R3D.

    If you go to crop, then Yes, go ahead and edit in 720. There are RED presets for down in the lower ranges, too, so I would use a RED 720p30 preset in order to paste in the RED presets for editing. It may not make a difference, but I just watch is as best practices... Either paste elsewhere, in a "Preset" RED.

    Œuvres RED beautifully in PProCS5... I have a 920 with three disk RAID-0 and the GTX285 and I put it on the ground 1/4 and full of break and it works beautifully up to four layers. I haven't worked beyond four layers, but it was still good when I hit four.

    Note for you with the clip for the RED settings dialog box... You can save preset settings, then go in your first shot of a specific configuration, it get the way you like it and then create a preset for that. Then choose the rest of the clips in the tray under the angle of the shot and apply this preset. Repeat for different configurations of shooting required.

    Adobe has done a great job, building of support really fluid and flawless for RED and with the 5.0.3 release, they got support for the science of colours 30 build as well.

    R3D Edition has been a great experience for me...
