Office 2013 for mac.

Hi Apple people.
I just wanna know that if u have something idea about "Office 2013" for mac.
U know what i mean, the office 2013 that is not the subscription one.

I dont wanna use the office 365 because its no sense at all. I want the whole software which i can use whenever i want until i want to uninstall i

Are'nt the Microsoft will build a Office 2013 for mac?
I hope they will make so.

Or maybe i should just buy the Microsoft Office 2011 for mac instead incase of there will be no office 2013.

I'm new to mac world, i havnt install any office software yet. I was looking at the office 2011 but i said there will be a 2013 version,

but i get disappointed to know that there are no office 2013 for mac. 😟

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

I agree with Csound1. Past practice predicts that the next version for the Mac will be called Office 2014.

Office PC Mac

Office 2003 2004

Office 2007 2008

Office 2010 2011

Office 2013 2014?

Contacts and Calendars will not 'sync' to Outlook if they are Dav services, such as iCloud.

That is one of the reasons that I am trying to move all my stuf away from propritory software like Microsoft Office and iCloud and into OSS. You wouldnt belive how hard it is thought o do this! Finding OSS that matches the capabilities and layouts of certain propritory software is extreemly hard

Yeah. Microsoft has been obviously very slow to this party and that’s why Outlook is failing miserably on the Mac. I got my money back for it.

They’re still using Activesync and Apple deprecated Activesync in Lion. I’m not sure it’s even available in Mountain but it’s definitely supported. It'll be fully gone in Mavericks.

ActivSync (EAS) has never been supported on a version of OSX to my knowledege, perhaps you can link to information that supports your statement for us?

It's not supported on 10.6/7/8 and I don't expect that it will be in 10.9 either.

Sep 16, 2013 10:53 AM in response to Csound1

Activesync was used prior to Lion. I mean though Apple’s sync services I should say. Not Exchange Sync. No no not that.

EAS/ActivSync (full name Exchange Activsync) has never been supported on OSX, it is supported on IOS

Sep 16, 2013 6:08 PM in response to Csound1

I meant to say Sync services.

Sorry.

I don’t see how the subscription service helps the problem that Mac Office 2011 doesn’t sync with the Apple ecosystem.

Sadly it doesn't, and the fact that MS have incorporated the function into the Windows version is particularly annoying.

Sep 16, 2013 6:50 PM in response to Csound1

When you say it’s incorporated into the Windows function how is that. I have 2013 on Parallels but I have no idea how that would work.

Sep 16, 2013 6:51 PM in response to Csound1

Yeah. Microsoft has really messed up on so many fronts now it’s hard to even count.

Office 2013 does not officially support iCloud, but it works for many. Office 2010 and 2007 are supported.

Sep 16, 2013 7:06 PM in response to Csound1

Honestly this is a bit bizarre if this were to work on Windows and it doesn’t work on the Mac. What is wrong with Microsoft. I’ll try it and see what I discover.

Office 2013 for mac.
