While I can confirm that Office 2011 for Mac works on my system running El Capitan, I has lost all Outlook notification sounds.

Maybe because I installed the trial version of Office 2015/2016 and then decided to delete it as Outlook would crash.

Any ideas on how to bring the Outlook sounds back?

Thanks!

Does Word, Excel and Powerpoint from "Office 2011 for Mac" work with El Capitan public beta?

Can't get outlook search of contacts to work - search does not find any thing - could be spotlight related.

Also 2011 crashes with exchange account - but works with all imap accounts.

Anyone found a solution for the contact search?

Outlook 2011 still not great on PB5 - but usable - crashes once in a while.

Cannot connect to exchange with out crashing right away, and contact search still not working.

Search of email history seems fine - just the contacts that are not searchable?

Anyone else with the contacts issues? Or anyone that contact search works?

I have no issue with Outlook on either my Mac Pro or my MBA. The Search function works as it should. Have all you guys installed the latest updates? MS Office 2011 is now up to V 14.5.4.

Thanks! yes using update version outlook 14.5.4. - but, you made me think about why my search was not working and I rebuilt the outlook data base and the search function now works!

exchange email account still crashes.
