    To run Microsoft Office, you have to upgrade your macOS to at least version 12. See https://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2023/03/most-recent-office-you-can-run-best-practices/ and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/lifecycle/officeinstall/update-m365-office-macos-ios .

    If upgrading is not possible for your computer, you can use the web versions of Office, or you can try an open source alternative such as LibreOffice.
