I recently did a clean install of my iMac to OS X Mojave, which required of course reinstalling all my apps, including Microsoft Office 2011. That’s the last version that I have purchased from Microsoft and although already 7 years old at current time of writing, it still works perfectly fine and I see no reason at all to upgrade to Office 365.
Want to update to macOS Catalina but can't justify losing access to all the outdated 32-bit apps I rely on (looking at you Microsoft Word for Mac 2011). However, after reinstalling Office 2011 for Mac from a back-up dmg file, I was unable to use the built-in Office autoupdater to get any updates. Any attempts result in a pop up box saying rather cryptically “AutoUpdate Cannot Connect to The Update Server”. Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update Microsoft has released the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update. In addition to the application improvements that are mentioned in this article, Office for Mac 2011 is now available as a subscription offering. For more information about subscriptions, see Frequently Asked Questions. One of the things that frustrates me when I try to print my documents in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 is that, although my printer does double-sided printing, the Microsoft Word dialogue box does not show an option for two-sided printing. So, instead of just sucking it up and accepting I just have to double my pages, here’s a workaround.

…turns out Microsoft has stopped supporting this product as of 2017.
And unfortunately, the stock Office 2011 (i.e. version 14.0.0) does not support Retina resolutions, so text looks pretty bad on retina capable screens, such as my late-2015 retina 5K iMac.
If you are facing the same problem as I was, fear not though, you can still download the updates directly from the Microsoft site if you know where to find the relevant download pages. So here you go…
First download and install Service Pack 1 (v14.1.0): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17198
Then after that, download and install Service Pack 3 (v14.7.7): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=55942
That will bring your install up to the final version that Microsoft will ever provide for Office 2011 for Mac.

If this helps you, I’d strongly suggest saving copies of those 2 service pack installers in case you ever have to go through a reinstall again. Cluefinders 3rd grade adventures download torrent. Microsoft probably won’t leave those downloads up indefinitely so have your own backups just in case.
