I have Microsoft Office 2011 Student Edition installed on MacBook Pro; Can I install Microsoft Office Windows 2008 onto Mac without deleting Microsoft Office 2011?

According to Microsoft you can have Office 2008 and Office 2011 installed on the same computer

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458999 (although this link assumes you already have 2008 installed and are installing 2011)

You may have more luck asking this question on the Office for Mac Product Forums: Office for Mac forums

Yes, select no.

Office 2008 was a Mac version. The equvalent Win version is 2007. So there is no "Office 2008 Windows." Which version are your trying to install?

Are you using Boot Camp to run Win on your MBP and want to install Office for Win there? I can't see that being a problem..

I do know that the regular version of Office Mac won't run properly if the trial version is present. The installer is set up to look for other versions, resumably to keep the trial version and the regualr from clashing.

Office Mac 2011 is equiv to Office for Win 2010

Office Mac 2008 " " " Office for Win 2007

Office Mac 2004 " " " Office for Win 2003

There is no issue, the message asks if you want to remove other versions, you ca answer yes or no, in your case select no.
