Sign up with GoogleHi all. Got my Mac Mini yesterday and did the setup. Also loaded MS Office 2011, however, it only shows in the user account in which I was when I installed it. The intention is to have a separate user account for my wife, ie her Apple ID etc, so that our data etc remains separate. However, she must also have access to MS Office. Did not conclude looking at all options etc last night. Beyond the iPads and iPhones this is my first real Mac experience. Any thoughts on this matter? Thanks.

Hi. So is MS office completely missing in Applications when logged in with your wife's profile or it's there but has a 'no entry/permission' sign? If an application is available to one user and not to another, it's generally a permissions problem. You can try running a repair disk permission to solve the problem. Open disk utility (in Applications/Utilities), select hdd on the left, on First Aid tab on the right select Repair Disk Permissions

When you installed Office 2011, did the installer ask you if you want to install it for the current user of the computer or to be available for all users? If you chose the current user option, just uninstall Office and re-install it again choosing the all users option.
Reply to both....found office under applications under my wife's user account. Now, I have used office 366, since the standalone was not available, I activated office under her account again, because I have 5 users on 365. I cannot recall being asked whether to install across users...might have or not...the 365 is a direct download via the net. So, at the moment it looks good...will report back...thanks for the support!
