I have just entered the macworld from PC... I use an excel spreadsheet on a daily basis to help with quotes. I was able to load the spread sheet on the mac and open it, but the macros do not work at all. Is there a toggle or different way to get the macro to run? bread and butter stuff for me...gotta have this as I am the first in our staff to move from the PC and no support from our IT guy at the shop.

Are you using Microsoft Office 2008 or 2011?
Mag
Have you looked at getting Office for Mac 2011? Unless you're already using it. Sorry for the stupid question.
Joseph
It is Office for mac 2011
Since the question is specifically for Excel 2011, which is not made by Apple, you're better off asking in theOffice for Mac forums.
Hi Mag,
Unfortunately, Office for Mac 2011 doesn't have the same "capabilities" as the Windows version and doesn't support macros. It seems be a more basic version of the original along with Word. The only way for you to have all of the capabilities is to create a bootcamp partition on your hard drive and install any full, licensed version of Windows 7 if you have the 2011 MBP.
Also, you can look into using VMWare Fusion and/or Parallels as a virtual machine to run Windows if you don't want to loose the space on your hard drive. If you decide to go the VM route, you should upgrade your ram to 8gigs to see better performance. OWC has excellent pricing and warranties. I hope this helps and that your IT people will have multi-user licenses of Windows OS and MS Office. Good luck and let us know how you made out.
