how do i upgrade microsoft office to work with macOS Catalina version 10.15.1

My functional Microsoft Office: mac2011 doesn't work (since) on the new update of macOS Catalina Version 10.15.1.

Will I be required by Apple to spend additional monies for something that works and will become obsolete?

What is the mutual solution for both systems to work cohesively?

Please assist, exams are on and my Mac book pro needs to be fully functional.

Thank you so much

"My functional Microsoft Office: mac2011 doesn't work" - so it's not functional

apple has informed for the past couple of years that 32bit apps would loose support. if you don't want to spend money you can always try using apple creative tools (numbers, keynote and pages) or using free software like libraoffice

Excellent suggestion! (FYI, it's actually spelled Libre Office. )

You can buy Office 2019 or subscribe to Office 365.

Apple is not requiring you to do anything, it is MS that is requiring you. As Idris says upgrade to 365 or Office 2019.
