Hi
Apple has 'Pages' and 'Numbers' which are able to work with, respectively, Word and Excel files. You can purchase and download both from the App Store in your Dock. Both have the ability to export files as Word and Excel if you need to send files to other people who don't have Macs. Each is $20.
Or, you can purchase Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, which contains both Word and Excel. You can purchase and download it from the Microsoft website. It's $120 per computer, or $150 for three computers.

Use the GrantAccessToMultipleFiles command to request access to multiple files at once in your Office 2016 for Mac solution.
Unlike VBA macros in Office for Mac 2011, VBA macros in Office 2016 for Mac don’t have access to external files by default. Because the Office 2016 for Mac apps are sandboxed, they do not have permission to access external files.
Existing macro file commands prompt the user for permission to access a file if the app doesn’t have access to it. This means that macros that access external files cannot run unattended. The user must approve file access the first time each file is referenced. You can use the GrantAccessToMultipleFiles command to minimize the number of prompts in order to improve the user experience.
GrantAccessToMultipleFiles command
Use the GrantAccessToMultipleFiles command to input an array of file paths and prompt the user for permission to access them.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| fileArray | An array of POSIX file paths |
The command returns whether the user granted permission or not.
| Return value | Description |
|---|---|
| True | The user grants permission to the files. |
| False | The user denies permission to the files. |
Note
After the user grants permissions, the permissions are stored with the app. The user doesn’t need to grant permission to the file again.
