High Sierra and Microsoft Office 2011

pilotjocky

 just heard that Office 2011 is not working with High Sierra.  All my files are in Office.  Is this going to mean more expense if I upgrade . 

Apple le you are dropping the ball

Not even close on Apple's responsibility, here. It's not Apple's responsibility to maintain third-party compatibility, and even less so for software that's seven years old. You're not obligated to move to High Sierra either.

We were the first to report on this, incidentally.

Regarding expense, Pages and Numbers will probably open your Word and Excel documents.
