Microsoft Word Mac 2011 Updates
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.
Ms Word For Mac 2011 Updates
Microsoft on Tuesday updated Office for Mac 2011, the long-in-the-tooth productivity suite tailored to machines running Apple's OS X, with bug fixes, features and compatibility with the Office 365. Check for updates and install Open an Office app such as Word, then on the top menu, click Help Check for Updates. If you don't see Check for Updates, run the latest version of Microsoft AutoUpdate tool, then check for updates again. To do so, just select the 'Check for Updates' option in the Help menu of any open Microsoft application. If that doesn't work, or if you don't trust AutoUpdate to do the right thing, you can download the latest updater from Microsoft's web site and install it yourself. That'll download to your Downloads folder as a.pkg file.
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”. Well…

Auto update of Microsoft word 2011 for Mac 2011 isn't working Hello, I've been trying to find a way to use split view with my Microsoft word 2011 app on my mac 2011. It isn't permiting me to use this feature.
…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. /download-tekken-4.html. 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. Microsoft probably won’t leave those downloads up indefinitely so have your own backups just in case.
