Hi:
I am external consultant for my client and need to access their Sharepoint. They have given me all permissions and I have access but am limited to what I can do. I use a MacBook and have Home Office 2010 installed. Do I need to get Office 2013 or Office 365 to fully utilize my Client’s Sharepoint files?
Thank you for your help.
Thank you Christopher for responding. When I open my clients files in Sharepoint I can read them but when I try to open the doc to try to Capture (copy or cut) to paste it in a new document I am creating, it takes me to an Office pane. The Office pane says I need to buy or free trial Office 365 or Office 2013.
Your offer to replicate what I am seeing is a great one. The problem is I can’t give you access to my client’s Sharepoint as it is confidential and requires them to give you access.
Through the browser, you should be able to do just about anything. I guess for some more complicated documents a local Office program would be required, but I don’t see why you would have much trouble with that version on the Mac. Since there’s no Office 2013 for Mac, that isn’t really an option to consider.
What specifically are you limited and unable to accomplish? I am interested to see. I have a Macbook Air that I boot camp with Windows (8.1 currently) and spend all my time in Windows, but I can try to replicate whatever you are seeing on OSX on my end to see if I get the same result.
Christopher
