If you have access to another computer, you can use the Remote Disk feature: If not, you'll have to either find someone with the USB SuperDrive that you could borrow, or take your MBA to an Apple Store, if there's one near you, or a friendly Apple dealer who'd let you use a SuperDrive to install. You could also, if you can get access to another Mac, create a disk image of the Office install disk and transfer that to your MBA via file sharing, a USB flash drive, etc, and run the installation from the disk image.
I'd love to upgrade from 2008, but it forces the switch from Entourage to Outlook for Mac. As far as I can tell Outlook for Mac requires a minimum of Exchange Server 2007 and therefor won't work with Exchange 2003 which we are stuck on for at least another year. I also can't find any documentation of compatibility between Outlook for Mac and Outlook for Win.pst files for mail archives. If this does not exist then I'm stuck with a VM solution for mail archiving and the upgrade has diminished value for me. Your right on the nose on that one.I tried - we've got license at work for Office 2011 for Mac, but can't run it because we only run Exchange 2003 at the moment, so Office 2008 for Mac is the only choice for now.
At home I run 2011, and I like it quite a bit more than it's 2008 counterpart. Oh well.in due time. And you're right on the Personal Folders bit - BUT Office 2011 isn't a direct Outlook client like Outlook for Windows (a window into the Exchange Server).
It works more like Entourage does, capturing your mail data offline (like personal folders). With this, I don't see the need of Personal Folders on the Mac. Example - at work, I've moved off my mail from last year to personal folders, yet I still see mail from last year on my mac here at home, connected (via exchange) to work. Apple Footer.

Hi, For your first question, if we install Office 2016 for mac, it'll remove Office 2011 first. We need to re-install Office 2011 Mac after Office 2016 for mac installation completed. For your second question, we could copy the custom templates from Office 2011 to Office 2016 with this path: Office 2011: /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/ Office 2016: Library Group Containers UBF8T346G9.Office User Content Templates Then, If you installed Office 2016 for Mac to run side-by-side with Office for Mac 2011, any custom dictionaries that you added and enabled in Office for Mac 2011 will be automatically copied to Office 2016 for Mac. If Office finds previously created custom dictionaries in any location other than the default dictionary location, you may be prompted for additional permissions to grant access to the files.
If you see this message, simply select the file or files and click Select to grant access to custom dictionaries. PS: Please ask one question on one thread next time, it'll help others easily/quickly find the similar thread.
