Don't know about the Al remote and Office 2011, but I have the white plastic Apple remote that came with my late 2007 MacBook Pro. If I point it at my iMac i7 with Office 2008, the left/right buttons on the remote act as forward/back buttons in PowerPoint. The center "select" control seems to act as a mouse-click.


Has the remote been "paired" to your computer? If you look at the instructions taht came with it, there is a simple procedure hhtat dedicates it to one Mac, insteda of activating every IR-equipped Mac in range (like mine does).

What's the question, Allan?


Page 4 of the minuscule instructions that came with my Aluminum Remote describes how to pair it. I did that the day I got mine, and I haven't looked at the instructions again until right now.


Don't tell me you never read your instructions! 😁
