office mac blurry on retina display

Like Mr. Fisher, I have had no problem with Word docs appearing crisp after making the modification. I will repeat here, however, that if you choose to have the system minimize your documents into the program icon in the Doc, rather than into the right-hand side of the Doc where they appear as separate items, the minimize-expand does not fix the fuzziness. Seems like voodoo magic, but there's probably some good reason for this behavior.

Try this (it worked for me)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with Office Mac being so blurry on the new retina display? So frustrating! Want to take it back. Love the computer so far though!

Update to the latest version of Office (14.2.4) support for Retina displays has been added.

I updated to the 14.2.4 version. Word, Powerpoint and Excel are still blurry. Anyone suggestions?

I haven't bought office yet, but I just saw this article which might help you:

Yes! This article solved my problems. Thanks.

However it is very strange. I did an official update and in order to get it working I've tot go to the the Terminal utility using UNIX command touch to get it working. I'm wondering how would a user not knowing that the Terminal even exists and OSx is in fact a UNIX based system could solve this.

But anyway. It is working fine now, finaly no blurry office anymore on my great MBP.

This morning I updated my Microsoft Office 2011 to version 14.2.4 - and in the 'readme' documentation it states support now for Retina Display Macs. I believe all one must do now is update, and restart.

Good luck!

Restart your computer

I'm not computer smart at all, but this completely fixed the problem.

This worked for me! Thanks Apples8212 and Anna!

Although the application is in Hi-D now when working on the slides and text (image not 2x up tho), everything went back to blurry during presentation mode (Play mode)!

The only workaround now is to open the file using Keynote for presentation.. of course many of the settings will be changed and probably would get you mad. I don't know if MS will continue to service the 2011 to make it 100% compatible with retina, but it is definitely not yet ready status quo!

I had the same problem, gave me a very bad headache during the lecture,

Just 'Mannually check for update" and it appeared beautifully.

I'm happy now.

Hi Paul,

Did you mean that now it supports retina in presentation mode now? I am actually in the middle of the update progess, but it didn't mention about retina updates (as uaual, only all the craps about security missed out).

Thanks in advance!

Thanks you guys for the thread, solved my problem and can now go back to working on my soon to be (hopefully) published book.

Cheers

I am yet still having problem in powerpoint presentation mode, it is not retina at all! No one else has problem? 😕
