Microsoft Office and macOS High Sierra
Stability and Upgrade Options
For many that have already updated to macOS High Sierra, they have already learned that Office 2011 and earlier either does not run in High Sierra, or runs extremely poorly. Bottom line is that Microsoft does not support Office 2011 or earlier in High Sierra.
If you intend to upgrade, you may choose the one time Office 2016 for Mac install or the subscription based Office 365. You can see the options here: https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products-for-mac?ms.officeurl=mac-compare-redir
If you do not want to purchase Office for Mac or Office 365, you can use the built-in offerings from Apple. Pages is to Word and Numbers is to Excel. Keynote is the Powerpoint equivalent. With these three apps you can open, view, and edit items created in Word, Excel or Powerpoint. You also have the option of exporting documents, spreadsheets, and presentations into those versions if you so choose.
