That versions 15.34 and earlier are not supported, and you may not be able to launch the apps. You are advised to update to 15.35 or later, but even that’s no guarantee. Not all Office functionality may be available, and you may encounter stability problems where apps unexpectedly quit. During the beta period for macOS 10.13 High Sierra, no formal support is available for this Office configuration. We strongly recommend that you back up your existing data before trying the software.

The company also advises that support for the 2011 suite ends next month – including security updates.

As a reminder, after that date there will be no new security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options or technical content updates. Notes that Mac users of get second-class service from the company, offered only five years of security updates instead of the ten years given to Windows users, alongside often long-delayed porting of new features.

I have an iMac 5K late 2014 and my wife has a MacBook Pro late 2011. Both have MS Office 2011 installed and I upgraded both computers to MacOS Sierra. On my iMac MS Office 2011 fired up with no problems.

On the MacBook Pro Office experienced several glitches. In fact every application on the MacBook Pro was sluggish; some were almost non responsive. After sitting overnight, however, everything returned to normal.

Apparently when you upgrade to Sierra, the new version of Photos spends a lot of time and processing power indexing the photos. Once that is complete the notebook returned to normal and Office is working with no problems.

Apparently the difference between computers stems from the fast processor and Fusion Drive on the iMac and a much slower process and HDD on the MacBook Pro. Microsoft support said that support for MS Office 2011 has not ended.

So it is supported on macOS Sierra. I have upgraded to Sierra and Office continues to work but there are now some weird quirks that are bothersome. To open a file for Word I have to double click in the Office finder windows (didn't have to previously) (NOTE: in Apples Finder and all other apps I only have to click once) and then despite my file selection at the bottom of the finder window being set to show 'all files' the open button is greyed out. This can only be made active by clicking on the 'all files' and selecting any option even 'all files' again to which the open button becomes accessible and you can open the desired file. MS released an update last week which did not address my issues.
