Mac

I’m using Word for Mac. I finally bit the bullet and subscribed, because that’s the only way to get it now. It’s like an old friend. I’m fluent after YEARS of use. HOWEVER, Microsoft tries to WEDGE its cloud service into my work-flow and it’s confusing and annoying. When I want to choose «Autosave» to protect myself from losing in-process documents, it puts pop-ups telling me I need «Microsoft 360» or whatever, and there are other related foils that confuse me and make me think I can’t have a fully functioning Word version, like before, unless I have a Microsoft (MS) account and/or do what Microsoft wants with respect to its cloud service. I would appreciate if MS would lay-off and just provide the software, like before. BEFORE, I could buy it once and get all subsequent updates. Now, in the interest of recurring revenue, I have to «subscribe.» «Subscribing» to MS Word was a hurdle I had to get over. I tried everything, but the others aren’t nearly as familiar and comfortable to me…

Since the new office preimered

Many months ago you gave users a chance to try a new version of Outlook 365. I noted a few issues and oen did not get fixed. There is a clitch when I use this on Mac. When I being a sentence, the capital letter at the start of the sentence gets jumped ahead of the curser, with auot correct changing the secon letter of the sentence from lower case to capitol and them fixing the spelling of the first word.
This means, every time I begin a paragrpah or senetnce, I have to delete the first letter, which is not at the end of a sentence and go back to the begining of teh sentence and fix the first word.
Please fix this crummy coding.
Also, I am using Zoom, as are many people these days. It asked me if I want to merge with Outlook 365. I clicked yes. It generated an outlook app on my tool bar. Ithis is not a Zoom app, it is your outlook app. Now I get a bell ring and pop-up on my screen every time I have something on my calendar. I have something on my sclendar every 15 to 30 minutes. This is driving me nuts. There is a not setting to get ride of it, control the bell ring or stop the pop-up.
Please go through your systems and fix things before taing them live. You guys =used to be the best at this stuff, now you have wacky flaws without solutions.

Wonderful, especially for dictation, but problems with auto-punction

I’m a writer and am very much impressed with how far Word for Mac has come. I usually use other software to write my books (Scrivener, Drafts) but am now making the switch to writing in Word, specifically because I can access my WIP on any of my devices—iphone, ipad, macbook, imac—without paying for multiple licenses or going through mulitple headaches. The experience from one device to the next has the continuity I’ve been missing from every other solution I’ve tried. Syncing isn’t an issue at all—thank God it’s not dependent on iCloud or Dropbox. And the bonus of all bonuses is the dictation feature, which is superb across all devices. My only complaint is that I cannot turn of auto-punctuation in the dictation settings. Tick the box to turn it off and it magically turns back on. Makes for lots of extra editing. Still, it’s great and luckily the issue is only on the desktop app and not on the mobile versions. (A silver lining is that this auto-punctuation bug has gotten me dictating/writing my novels on my phone now, which has made me even more productive.)

5 stars if the auto-punctuation bug is fixed.

Работа с текстовыми документами принуждает постоянно пользоваться удобными редакторами, среди которых первенство занимает Microsoft Word. Однако, Office является платным программным обеспечением, которое нужно приобрести целиком или оплатить подписку. Если не хочется тратить деньги, можно ли бесплатно установить Word на Mac? С технической точки зрения, да, но не без нюансов. Многим стоит предпочесть достойную альтернативу. Все доступные способы использовать текстовые редакторы бесплатно описаны ниже.

Может использовать видео с YouTube «Как получить Word для бесплатных видео»?

Если зайти в YouTube, не составит большого труда найти ролики, в которых показаны возможности бесплатно скачать, установить и запустить весь программный пакет MS Office на Mac. Предложение очень заманчивое, но как часто бывает, бесплатный сыр в мышеловке. Для использования описанных методов на исследованных видео требуется приобрести код для взлома текстового редактора. Часть пользователей думают, что это преступление без жертв, ведь у Microsoft много миллиардов доходов. На самом деле реальным пострадавшим может оказаться пользователь.

Действительно есть доброжелательные хакеры, которые делают информацию и ПО общедоступными. Не все водимы альтруистическими побуждениями. Загрузка и установка подобного ПО на Mac влечет за собой высокий риск добавления в систему вредоносного или шпионского кода. Оно часто наносит непоправимый ущерб данным. Это, не говоря о том, что пользователь нарушает авторские права.

Совет дня – лучше держаться подальше от инструментов взлома Word.

Может перейти к Microsoft Office Online?

Для людей с простыми потребностями существует бесплатная версия Microsoft Word, которая доступна в онлайн через любой браузер. Это лучшая бесплатная альтернатива настольному ПО. Для использования сервиса достаточно создать учетную запись (бесплатно). Да, онлайн-версия обладает урезанными функциями, но большая часть средств форматирования документов все же присутствует.

Одно из ключевых ограничений вытекает из названия Word Online. Доступ к приложению присутствует только через браузер при наличии подключения к интернету. Решение не является самым удачным для тяжеловесных документов. Однако, его возможностей достаточно для создания небольших текстов, документов, отчетов, проектов, резюме и прочего.

Бесплатный месяц использования Office365

Части пользователей Word нужен только для работы над одноразовым проектом, к примеру, дипломом или курсовой. Вполне официально можно загрузить и использовать весь офис от Microsoft в течение одного месяца. Пробная версия включает доступ к Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote и OneDrive.

В комплект входят все самые актуальные версии ПО. Полная их цена составляет £79,99, $99,99 или 6999 рублей за год использования. Стоимость указана за версию Home, которая позволяет подключать к приложению до 6 человек. За персональную модификацию редактора придется отдать 3499 рублей в год, но он поддерживает только 1 пользователя. Если это слишком высокая цена, можно оплачивать подписку ежемесячно по 350 рублей.

Бесплатные альтернативы Microsoft Word

Если задача получения Microsoft Word не принципиальна, можно воспользоваться множеством других редакторов. Они включают массу полезных функций и распространяются абсолютно бесплатно. К примеру, новый Mac по умолчанию поставляется с фри-версией Apple Pages. Это очень мощный инструмент по разработке документов, который хорошо интегрирован во все ОС от Apple, в том числе в мобильные.

Google Docs – неизменный фаворит. Сетевое ПО от Гугла является бесплатным аналогом Word, который легко использовать для совместной работы. Пусть в нем нет самых продвинутых функций, но большинству пользователей их предостаточно.

LibreOffice Writer – хорошее ПО с открытым исходным кодом, которое распространяется бесплатно. Оно предлагает комплексное решение, которое практически не уступает по мощности MS Word. Пусть его дизайн не самый эстетически приятный, но комфортно работать приложение позволит.

Бесплатная версия Microsoft Word для iPad и iPhone

Стоит отметить, что без какой-либо платы MS Word можно загрузить на iPad или iPhone. Работать на смартфоне не слишком удобно из-за маленького экрана, но размера дисплея iPad вполне достаточно. Особенно в сочетании с Bluetooth-клавиатурой.

Бесплатно установить можно не только Word, но и некоторые другие компоненты офиса – Excel, PowerPoint и OneNote. Все приложения доступны на App Store. Единственное ограничение заключается в том, что они ничего не стоят на устройствах с диагональю экрана до 10,1 дюйма. Таким образом самые свежие iPad Pro и iPad 10.2 не проходят в эту категорию. На меньших моделях все еще можно работать бесплатно.

Это все альтернативы и способы бесплатного использования Word. Все они связаны с определенными ограничениями. Читателю остается только выбрать наиболее подходящее решение из списка.

How to Download Office 2016 and 2019 for Mac

When installing Microsoft Office 2016/2019 for the first time, follow the steps below.

Step 1: Locate your Product Key

Because some Office for home products include a product key that has to be entered, check for a product key. If you bought your copy of Office for home digitally, check your emails or Microsoft account. The product key is usually located inside the DVD case on a bright sticker if you bought a retail copy.  

Some MacBook’s come with Office pre-installed, if yours did, check your documents that came along with your purchase and look for the product key, which is often printed on a yellow piece of paper. 

Office product keys consist of 25 alphanumeric characters and look something like the picture below. If you need help locating your product key, contact Microsoft or your seller for support.

Step 2: Microsoft Account

Navigate to microsoft.com and click on the Sign-in button located at the top right of the website. Makes sure you use the correct email adress.

You will be redirected to a page where you can enter your Microsoft account details and sign into an already existing account, which will become associated with your copy of Office once you enter your product key later on. 

If you don’t have an account, simply click on the Create one! button. Make sure to create a real account, as you will be using this later to access all of your Office files via cloud-functionality, as well as validating your Office installs.

Step 3: Enter your product key (optional)

Go to office.com/setup in your web browser and if not signed in already with your existing or newly created account, sign in. 

Next, all you have to do is input your product key. Make sure to enter the key properly without using any hyphens, as it will not work even if one character you input differs from your actual key. 

By pressing the Next button, you can continue to validate and redeem your product key and your Office product. 

This also links the Microsoft account you are logged in with your copy of Office, so make sure you are using the correct account.

Note: If your Office 2016 copy was bought through a company Microsoft HUP benefit, you might not be able to download it from office.com/setup. If this is the case, follow Microsoft’s guide on how to install Office through HUP.

Step 4: Download Office

Navigate to the page called Services and subscriptions, then find the Microsoft Office 2016/2019 product that you want to download and install on your Mac. Once located, simply select the Install button.

Note: You can install Office 2016 on your Mac in a different language or install the 64-bit version. Click on Other options, choose your desired language and bit version then select Install.

This is going to start the download process of Office 2016, which might take a longer amount of time depending on your location and internet connection speed. 

Allow the download to complete before turning off your Mac, as progress will be lost if the download is disrupted.

How to re-install Office 2016 on Mac

Installing Office through Microsoft Account

If your Mac already had Office 2016 installed on it previously, you will already have a Microsoft account associated with your copy of it, which you are required to use in order to validate your installation of Office 2016. Follow the steps above to log into this account, using your email address connected to your Microsoft account, and re-download a fresh Office 2016 installer onto your Mac. It is required to uninstall your previous Office 2016 before downloading it again.

Can’t access your Microsoft Account?

If you forgot which account/ email address you associated with your copy of Office 2016, you have some options for retrieving your account and finding the correct login information. The options you can use for this depends on which version of Office 2016/2019 you were running on your computer before you decided to reinstall.

Office for Home Users

Username

• You can open a newer Office application and check which username is signed into it to quickly and easily identify the account that is associated with your copy of Office 2016.
• Check your email accounts and look for emails about Office 2016. Each of these emails should include your username, if not, you can use the email itself to log in and identify your username.
• Make sure you are using the correct domain/email address for your accounts, such as @outlook.com, @gmail.com, or @live.com.
• Try figuring it out via the username hint if you forgot your username. Navigate to Microsoft account, then select Forgot username.
  

Here, you will be asked to input your email address or phone number that is associated with your Microsoft account. You can select to receive an email, a text or a call from Microsoft that gives you a code that you can use to access a list of usernames associated with the email address or phone number you entered, allowing you to attempt signing in using these usernames.

Password

• You can reset your password, which will send you an email to the address linked with your account that includes a reset link allowing you to change your password to a new one.
• Check if you are using Caps Lock or not. Passwords are case sensitive, meaning that if a capital letter was included in your password, you have to match it when you enter it.
• Clear your browser history, or try to sign in from a different web browser.

Do not lose hope if you don’t have access to your account’s email or phone number anymore. Simply ask for a verification code, and select the option that says “I didn’t get a code” then “I don’t have access to these.”
