I had Microsoft Office 2011 which was bought couple of years ago. Now Once I updated the software to Catalina my word and excel is not working. What should I do to get using my Microsoft office again. I do not want to go on subscription.
Thanks

For future reference, ALWAYS verify software compatibility BEFORE upgrading to a new operating system. Microsoft, and pretty much all SW providers will only continue to support older versions of their products for a certain period. It is a given that either or both HW & SW will need to be upgraded.
As an alternative to BobTheFisherman's suggestion to downgrade, you can elect to run a VM manager, like Parallels or VMware, on your Mac. Then create a VM of an earlier version of macOS or OS X that supports older third-party SW.
Office 2016 (updated), Office 2019, and Office 365 all work with Catalina.
You could revert to an older operating system. But realize that even Miceosoft no longer supports Office 2011.
Does that means I would be spending money each time i update my software?!!!! Thats so ridiculously expensive.
I shouldn't have updated :(
