Office for Mac applications provide a native app experience on the macOS platform. Each app is designed to work in a variety of scenarios, including states when no network access is available. When a machine is connected to a network, the applications automatically connect to a series of web-based services to provide enhanced functionality. The following information describes which endpoints and URLs the applications try to reach, and the services provided. This information is useful when troubleshooting network configuration issues and setting policies for network proxy servers. The details in this article are intended to complement the Office 365 URL and address ranges article, which includes endpoints for computers running Microsoft Windows. Unless noted, the information in this article also applies to Office 2019 for Mac and Office 2016 for Mac, which are available as a one-time purchase from a retail store or through a volume licensing agreement.

Most of this article is tables detailing network URLs, type, and description of service or feature provided by that endpoint. Each of the Office apps may differ in its service and endpoint usage. The following apps are defined in the tables below:

• W: Word
• P: PowerPoint
• X: Excel
• O: Outlook
• N: OneNote

The URL type is defined as follows:

• ST: Static - The URL is hard-coded into the client application.

• SS: Semi-Static - The URL is encoded as part of a web page or redirector.

• CS: Config Service - The URL is returned as part of the Office Configuration Service.

Installation and updates

The following network endpoints are used to download the Office for Mac installation program from the Microsoft Content Delivery Network (CDN).

First app launch

The following network endpoints are contacted on first launch of an Office app. These endpoints provide enhanced Office functionality for users, and the URLs are contacted regardless of license type (including Volume License installations).

Note

The Office Configuration Service acts as an auto-discovery service for all Microsoft Office clients, not just for Mac. The endpoints returned in the response are semi-static in that change is very infrequent, but still possible.

Sign-in

The following network endpoints are contacted when signing in to cloud-based storage. Depending on your account type, different services may be contacted. For example:

Download Microsoft 365 For Mac

• MSA: Microsoft Account - typically used for consumer and retail scenarios

• OrgID: Organization Account - typically used for commercial scenarios

Note

For subscription-based and retail licenses, signing in both activates the product, and enables access to cloud resources such as OneDrive. For Volume License installations, users are still prompted to sign-in (by default), but that is only required for access to cloud resources, as the product is already activated.

Product activation

The following network endpoints apply to Office 365 Subscription and Retail License activations. Specifically, this does NOT apply to Volume License installations.

What's New content

The following network endpoints apply to Office 365 Subscription only.

Safe Links

The following network endpoint applies to all Office applications for Office 365 Subscription only.

Crash reporting

The following network endpoint applies to all Office applications for both Office 365 Subscription and Retail/Volume License activations. When a process unexpectedly crashes, a report is generated and sent to the Watson service.

Options for reducing network requests and traffic

The default configuration of Office for Mac provides the best user experience, both in terms of functionality and keeping the machine up to date. In some scenarios, you may wish to prevent applications from contacting network endpoints. This section discusses options for doing so.

Disabling Cloud Sign-In and Office Add-Ins

Volume License customers may have strict policies about saving documents to cloud-based storage. The following per-application preference can be set to disable MSA/OrgID Sign in, and access to Office Add-ins.

• defaults write com.microsoft.Word UseOnlineContent -integer 0

• defaults write com.microsoft.Excel UseOnlineContent -integer 0

• defaults write com.microsoft.Powerpoint UseOnlineContent -integer 0

If users try to access the Sign-In function, they will see an error that a network connection is not present. Because this preference also blocks online product activation, it should only be used for Volume License installations. Specifically, using this preference will prevent Office applications from accessing the following endpoints:

• https://odc.officeapps.live.com

• https://*.firstpartyapps.oaspapps.com

• All endpoints listed in the 'Sign In' section above.

• All endpoints listed in the 'Smart Lookup' section above.

• All endpoints listed in the 'Product Activation' section above.

• All endpoints listed in the 'Office Apps (aka add-ins)' section above.

To re-establish full functionality for the user, either set the preference to '2' or remove it.

Note

This preference requires Office for Mac build 15.25 [160726] or later.

Telemetry

Office for Mac sends telemetry information back to Microsoft at regular intervals. Data is uploaded to the 'Nexus' endpoint. The telemetry data helps the engineering team assess the health and any unexpected behaviors of each Office app. There are two categories of telemetry:

• Heartbeat contains version and license information. This data is sent immediately upon app launch.

• Usage contains information about how apps are being used and non-fatal errors. This data is sent every 60 minutes.

Microsoft takes your privacy very seriously. You can read about Microsoft's data collection policy at https://privacy.microsoft.com. To prevent applications from sending 'Usage' telemetry, the SendAllTelemetryEnabled preference can be adjusted. The preference is per-application, and can be set via macOS Configuration Profiles, or manually from Terminal:

defaults write com.microsoft.Word SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE

defaults write com.microsoft.Excel SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE

defaults write com.microsoft.Powerpoint SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE

defaults write com.microsoft.Outlook SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE

defaults write com.microsoft.onenote.mac SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE

defaults write com.microsoft.autoupdate2 SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE

defaults write com.microsoft.Office365ServiceV2 SendAllTelemetryEnabled -bool FALSE

Heartbeat telemetry is always sent and cannot be disabled.

Crash reporting

When a fatal application error occurs, the application will unexpectedly terminate and upload a crash report to the 'Watson' service. The crash report consists of a call-stack, which is the list of steps the application was processing leading up to the crash. These steps help the engineering team identify the exact function that failed and why.

In some cases, the contents of a document will cause the application to crash. If the app identifies the document as the cause, it will ask the user if it's okay to also send the document along with the call-stack. Users can make an informed choice to this question. IT administrators may have strict requirements about the transmission of documents and make the decision on behalf of the user to never send documents. The following preference can be set to prevent documents from being sent, and to suppress the prompt to the user:

defaults write com.microsoft.errorreporting IsAttachFilesEnabled -bool FALSE

Note

If SendAllTelemetryEnabled is set to FALSE, all crash reporting for that process is disabled. To enable crash reporting without sending usage telemetry, the following preference can be set: defaults write com.microsoft.errorreporting IsMerpEnabled -bool TRUE

Updates

Microsoft releases Office for Mac updates at regular intervals (typically once a month). We strongly encourage users and IT administrators to keep machines up to date to ensure the latest security fixes are installed. In cases where IT administrators want to closely control and manage machine updates, the following preference can be set to prevent the AutoUpdate process from automatically detecting and offering product updates:

defaults write com.microsoft.autoupdate2 HowToCheck -string 'Manual'

Blocking Requests with a Firewall/Proxy

If your organization blocks requests to URLs via a firewall or proxy server be sure to configure the URLs listed in this document as either allowed, or block listed with a 40X response (e.g. 403 or 404). A 40X response will allow the Office applications to gracefully accept the inability to access the resource, and will provide a faster user experience, than simply dropping the connection, which in turn will cause the client to retry.

If your proxy server requires authentication, a 407 response will be returned to the client. For the best experience, ensure that you're using Office for Mac builds 15.27 or later, as they include specific fixes for working with NTLM and Kerberos servers.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is a version of the Microsoft Officeproductivity suite for Mac OS X. It is the successor to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and is comparable to Office 2010 for Windows. Office 2011 was followed by Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac released on September 22, 2015, requiring a Mac with an x64 Intel processor and OS X Yosemite or later.

New features[edit]

Microsoft Office 2011 includes more robust enterprise support and greater feature parity with the Windows edition. Its interface is now more similar to Office 2007 and 2010 for Windows, with the addition of the ribbon. Support for Visual Basic for Applications macros has returned after having been dropped in Office 2008.^[4][5] Purchasing the Home Premium version of Office for Mac will not allow telephone support automatically to query any problems with the VBA interface. There are however, apparently, according to Microsoft Helpdesk, some third party applications that can address problems with the VBA interface with Office for Mac.^{[citation needed]} In addition, Office 2011 supports online collaboration tools such as OneDrive and Office Web Apps, allowing Mac and Windows users to simultaneously edit documents over the web. It also includes limited support for Apple's high-density Retina Displays, allowing the display of sharp text and images, although most icons within applications themselves are not optimized for this.

A new version of Microsoft Outlook, written using Mac OS X's Cocoa API, returns to the Mac for the first time since 2001 and has full support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.^[6] It replaces Entourage, which was included in Office 2001, X, 2004 and 2008 for Mac.^[7]

Limitations[edit]

Office for Mac 2011 has a number of limitations compared to Office 2010 for Windows. It does not support ActiveX controls,^[8] or OpenDocument Format.^[9][10] It also cannot handle attachments in Rich Text Format e-mail messages sent from Outlook for Windows, which are delivered as winmail.dat attachments.^{[citation needed]} It also has several human language limitations, such as lack of support for right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew ^[11] and automatic language detection. ^[12]

Microsoft does not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly Outlook through iCloud. Outlook also does not allow the user to disable Cached Exchange Mode, unlike the Windows version, and it is therefore not possible to connect to an Exchange Server without downloading a local cache of mail and calendar data. ^[13]

Office for Mac 2011 also has a shorter lifecycle than Office 2010, with support phasing out on October 10, 2017.^[14] As 32-bit software, it will not run on macOS Catalina, released in 2019.^[15]

Editions[edit]

Two editions are available to the general public. Home & Student provides Word, Excel and PowerPoint, while Home & Business adds Outlook and increased support.^[16]Microsoft Messenger 8 is included with both editions, and Microsoft Communicator for Mac 2011, which communicates with Microsoft Lync Server, is available only to volume licensing customers.^[17] Office 2011 requires an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later.^[18]

The Home & Student edition is available in a single license for one computer and a family pack for three computers. The Home & Business edition is available in a single license for one computer and a multi-pack for two computers. The Standard edition is only available through Volume Licensing.^[19] The Academic edition was created for higher education students, staff and faculty, and includes one installation.^[20] Office for Mac is also available as part of Microsoft's Office 365 subscription programme.
