[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1836912, member: 396914"] What does that mean? What ribbon? Are you referring to the Dock, which is normally across the bottom of the screen, or something else? Not all applications on the machine are in the Dock. Applications are in the Applications folder in the user's account directory. If she had installed Office for all users of the machine, it should appear in your wife's home folder under Applications. As for whether or not it is legal to run, that would depend on whether or not she had kept a copy for herself, or if she actually transferred the software to you. I'm not a lawyer, so maybe someone who is will chime with clarity. So, look in your wife's home folder, under Applications and see if Office is there. Of more importance is the question of whether or not the seller followed these directions: [url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201065]What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support[/url] If she did not, you could have problems later on.
