Have given a grand daughter a 15 inch RetMBKPro running OS 10.9.4 for college.
Is Microsoft Office for Mac a recommended piece of software to install?
Is it supported by Microsoft?
Are there any known problems with its use in a MAc?
It is a Microsoft Product so it is supported by Microsoft. It runs fine on Apple computers.
Depending on how deeply she'll be getting into the vast range of features MS Office has and/or how complete file compatibility has to be with anyone else, you might also consider LibreOffice. It's a pretty full-featured alternative to MS Office, with the advantage that it's free.
Microsoft Office for Mac a good installation?
