Update Microsoft Office for Mac OS X
Update Microsoft Office for Mac OS X using the Microsoft AutoUpdate application.
Step-by-step guide
To update Microsoft Office for Mac OS X, do the following:
- Make sure you have a working Internet connection.
- Open any Microsoft Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.). You do not have to do this for each program; Microsoft Autoupdate will download updates for all Office products.
- Click Help > Check for Updates.
- Click Check for Updates. Software updates appear in the Microsoft AutoUpdate window.
- Click Install.
- More updates may still be available. Repeat steps 1 through 6 until the Microsoft AutoUpdate window says, "There are no updates available for your Microsoft software at this time."
- When you are done, click on the AutoUpdate menu and select Quit.
Note: You do not have to do this for each Microsoft Office Application. Microsoft Autoupdate will download updates for all Office products regardless of the program you opened for step 2 above.
