You don't have to save an Excel file by a different way, because a Mac can read Excel files without any problem, but you need a productivity suite that can read them. These are the most important suites: 1. Microsoft Office for Mac. The Microsoft Office version for Mac, that provides a full compatibility with Office for Windows files 2.
This is the Apple's productivity suite, that can read Office files and create Office files, but you can't modify them 3. This is an open-source, free productivity suite, and it should be the first you try to test.
Save a file in the Open XML Format (the default file format for Office for Mac 2011) Save a file in the Office 2004 for Mac file format. Save a file as PDF. Change the default file format that files are saved in. Save a file as a webpage (Word and Excel only) Save a file as plain text (Word only). My version of excel 14.3.4 does not display all of the specialty file formats in the 'save as' menu - specifically looking for the csv for windows format To elaborate, i have an office365 subscription on one mac that downloads the excel 2011 and in the save as menu the csv for windows is shown (along with MS DOS).
Hi juicebars, iWork is a productivity suite for Macs running OS or iThings running iOS. With a MacBook Pro you will need the OS version.
IWork consists of: Pages, a word processor and page layout app (page layout mimics a drawing app). Pages can import Microsoft Word documents and you can edit and save them.
Also Export as MS Word, PDF, plain text, RTF or ePub. Numbers, a spreadsheet app that mimics a database. Numbers can import Microsoft Excel or CSV documents and you can edit and save them.
Also Export as MS Excel, CSV or PDF. Keynote, a presentation app. Keynote can open Microsoft Powerpoint. I don't use Keynote, so I can say no more. You can buy the iWork suite from the App Store, or buy Pages, Numbers and Keynote separately. There are some minor conversion glitches when converting between MS Office and iWork.
If you are continually converting, it is best to buy Office or LibreOffice for Mac. IWork does not take kindly to huge documents.
However, I find that Numbers and Pages for Mac OS to have a sweetly intuitive way of doing what I want. Regards, Ian. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
