Best Methods to Get Microsoft Access for Mac. This list contains five things you can do to get Microsoft Access for Mac.

If you own multiple licenses and have installed using the incorrect one, or you had a one-time install of Office for Mac and then purchase Microsoft 365, you might need to remove licenses attached to your suite of Office and reactivate to ensure you're getting all the benefits of Microsoft 365.

This article is written intended to guide you how to Install Microsoft Visio Mac / MacBook Pro / MacBook Air running OS X El Capitan.

One program that missing when using MacBook is there is no Microsoft Visio for Mac. Although Microsoft has been officially releasing Microsoft Office (e.g Word, Excel, PowerPoint) for Mac, Microsoft still does not release Visio for Mac, at least until now.

Since I work as a network administrator, Microsoft Visio is very important for me to draw network diagram / topology. Although there are many Visio alternatives for Mac such ConceptDraw, LucidChart, SmartDraw, or OmniGraffle according to my opinion they can not replace Visio. It is the best because of its simplicity and easy to use. Another reason is I am already familiar with Visio when running Windows and also already bought the software license so buying another program for this purpose is wasting money.

Installing Microsoft Office On Macbook Air

In this article I will not talk about which software is better. I want to show you how to install Microsoft Visio on Mac running OS X El Capitan on top of Wine, thanks to WineHQ team for making this great tool. It should be applicable on previous version of OS X such as OS X Yosemite, OS X Mavericks, and Mac OS X Mountain Lion.

Lets start with the installation process

Windows programs can be run on OS X, Linux and BSD via WINE (Windows Emulator) so first we need to install wine and winetricks.

We can install wine and winetricks packages using Homebrew, follow this post how to install Wine on OS X.

Define Visio Home directory

Although it is not necessary, it is better to set environment folder for Visio. We will set it under $HOME/.vision2007. Inside your $HOME directory (/Users/your_username), create .visio2007 directory.

Perform Wine initialisation and setup of WINEPREFIX in .visio2007

We need several packages be installed to run Visio 2007. Those packages are gdiplus, msxml6, dotnet20, riched20, and corefonts. Install them using winetricks as follows:

Capture example of installing .Net Framework (dotnet20) is as in image below:

After installing the packages above, then run Wine configuration editor (winecfg)

In Wine configuration, under Libraries tab make sure that gdiplus, msxml6, riched20 are set to native. See image below!

Run Visio setup installation

Once the above dependency packages installed and configured, we are ready to run the installation.

After the installation completed and successful, you can run Visio using command below:

Visio should be running well without any problem.

Create visio script

To make it easier to run Visio using Terminal, create a script named as ‘visio’.

Copy and paste the following command into the visio script. Change the ‘your-username’ accordingly with yours.

Make it executable and then move it into $PATH

To run Visio, just type visio in Terminal.

Microsoft detailed back in June that it was working with Apple to ensure that the Microsoft 365 and Office Apps would work on new Macs with Apple’s ARM-based custom silicon. However, the company recently followed up to publish a new support article detailing how exactly the programs would work if you end up buying an Apple M1-powered MacBook, or Mac Mini come later this month. Here’s what you need to know.

According to Microsoft, all the latest releases of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and OneDrive (as well as add-ins) can be installed just fine on Mac devices that feature the Apple M1 silicon. It is, though, recommended to install the November 2020 release (build 16.43), or later. The reason why is that this release comes with the optimizations for macOS Big Sur, which supports the Apple M1.

Anyway, with Mac devices featuring the M1 silicon, Office and the Microsoft 365 apps will run using Apple’s Rosetta 2 technology. Because this is through emulation, no action is required on your end to get things working right. There are also no differences compared to running Office on an Intel-based Mac, but there is one big performance consideration.

Microsoft notes that on M1 Macs, the first launch of each Office app will take longer. This is because of the underlying Rosetta 2 layer in macOS which needs to launch and generate code for the M1 processor.

Indeed, this is just one small inconvenience if you end up buying a MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, or Mac Mini with Apple’s M1 processor. But be aware that Office will work just fine. Microsoft even says it is working to natively support both Apple Silicon and Intel chipsets within the same executable (installer) file in the future.

11/13/2020 3:09 PM PT Update: We’ve updated our post to clarify a change in Microsoft’s support page. Microsoft recently updated the information on the page around the possible launch delays that may occur when opening an Office app under the Rosetta 2 translation for the first time. The company says that it updated the language of this support page, as it has not yet confirmed exact speeds on production hardware.
