Using Microsoft Office Xml Converter For Mac Pro

With the Office Open XML Converter, that you can convert Office Open XML files to a format that is compatible with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac and Microsoft Office v. X for Mac.

You may choose to convert and open one file, or convert a large number of files.

This version of the Office Open XML Converter can convert the following Office Open XML file formats:

• Word Document (*.docx)
• Word Macro-Enabled Document (*.docm)

These files are converted to Rich Text Format (RTF), which can be opened in Microsoft Word 2004 and Microsoft Word X.

The converter is a Beta release, and might be unable to convert all the data in Office Open XML files. After you convert a file, you should review the file carefully to make sure that it contains all of the information that you expect.

The following issues are known to exist in this Beta release:

• Macros and Visual Basic content are not included in the converted file.
• Charts and SmartArt graphics are converted to pictures.

The following issues might occur in this Beta release:

• Graphics and other objects in the document might appear with a different size.
• Color fills and shading in tables might not be preserved.
• Conversion might not succeed if the document contains a bibliography or citations.
• Conversion might not succeed if the document contains WordArt.
• Document layout and formatting might not be preserved.
• Some Unicode characters might not be preserved.
• Conversion might not succeed if the document contains very large pictures.
• Conversion might not succeed if you use an SMB network volume as the preferred destination for converted files.
• Picture bullets might not be preserved.
• Fonts might be substituted.

Requirements:

• Office 2004 11.3.4 or later, or Office v. X 10.1.9 or later to open converted documents

Applies to:Volume licensed versions of Office 2019 and Office 2016, including Project and Visio

Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is used for one-time activation through Microsoft-hosted activation services, either via the internet or by telephone. MAK activation requires that a MAK is installed on a client computer and instructs that computer to activate itself against those services.

Each MAK has a predetermined number of allowed activations and is based on your volume licensing agreement. Each Office activation that uses MAK counts toward the activation limit. After Office is activated, no re-activation is required unless the hardware changes significantly.

Microsoft Open Xml Converter Uninstall

There are two ways to activate computers by using MAK:

• MAK independent activation requires that each computer independently connect and be activated with Microsoft, either over the Internet or by telephone. MAK independent activation is best for computers that have direct access to the internet.

• MAK proxy activation by using VAMT enables one computer with internet access to process activation requests on behalf of multiple computers. MAK proxy activation is configured by using the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT). MAK proxy activation is appropriate for environments in which security concerns might restrict direct access to the internet or to development and test labs. For more information, see Perform Proxy Activation.

Activate Office 2019 by using MAK

If you're using MAK to activate volume licensed versions of Office 2019, you specify the key in the configuration.xml file used by the Office Deployment Tool when you deploy Office 2019 to the users in your organization. For more information, see Deploy Office 2019 (for IT Pros).

Activate Office 2016 by using MAK

If you're using MAK to activate volume licensed versions of Office 2016, you can enter the key by using one of the following supported methods:

• Before you install Office 2016, you can use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) or the Config.xml file.

• After you install Office 2016, you can use the product UI, the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT), the ospp.vbs script, or enable a non-admin user to activate using MAK.

Configure MAK activation in the Office Customization Tool (OCT)

To enter a MAK key by using the Office Customization Tool (OCT), follow these steps:

1. In the OCT, go to the Licensing and user interface page.

2. Select Enter another product key, and then in the Product key field, enter the multiple activation key (five sets of five numbers or characters).

3. After making any other necessary changes in the OCT, save the .msp file in the Updates folder.

Note

• For more information, see Office Customization Tool (OCT) 2016 Help: Overview and Office Customization Tool (OCT) 2016 Help: Licensing and user interface.
• You can activate Office 2016 automatically when you install by setting the AUTO_ACTIVATE property value to 1 in the Config.xml file. For more information, see Setting element. (Even though this article is for an earlier version of Office, the information also applies to Office 2016.)

Configure MAK activation in the Config.xml file

To enter a multiple activation key by using the Config.xml file, follow these steps:

1. Add the following line to the Config.xml file:

Replace AAAAABBBBBCCCCCDDDDDEEEEE with your 25-character product key.

2. To apply the settings in Config.xml, at a command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

Note

• For more information about the Config.xml file, see Config.xml file reference. (Even though this article is for an earlier version of Office, the information also applies to Office 2016.)
• You can activate Office 2016 automatically when you install by setting the AUTO_ACTIVATE property value to 1 in the Config.xml file. For more information, see Setting element. (Even though this article is for an earlier version of Office, the information also applies to Office 2016.)

Change the key by using the product UI

To change the Office 2016 product key on only one computer:

Microsoft Open Xml Converter

1. Open an Office 2016 application, such as Word.
2. Go to File > Account.
3. Choose Change Product Key and enter the product key.

If you need to change the Office 2016 product key on multiple computers after Office is installed, we recommend that you use Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) 3.1. For more information, see Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) Technical Reference.

Enable a non-admin user to activate an Office by using MAK

An administrator can create a registry key that allows a standard user (that is, a user who isn't an administrator) to activate Office 2016 by using MAK. By default, volume licensed versions of Office 2016 disable this behavior.

This can be used if you want a user to manually activate Office by using MAK, replace an existing key with a new key, or switch from KMS to MAK activation.

To enable this behavior, add the following line to the Config.xml file:

Or, you can set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftOfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform registry key to enable or disable standard user activation

• To enable, set 'UserOperations'=dword:00000001
• To disable, set 'UserOperations'=dword:00000000

Note

For more information about the Config.xml file, see Config.xml file reference. (Even though this article is for an earlier version of Office, the information also applies to Office 2016.)

Deploying multiple MAK keys

In some organizations, different groups have different MAK keys for their volume licensed versions of Office, Project, or Visio. Unfortunately, you can't include multiple MAK keys in the same configuration.xml file (for 2019 versions) or in the Office Customization Tool or config.xml file (for 2016 versions).

Microsoft Office Xml Converter

If you don't want to create separate XML files for each group, you could use one of these other methods:
