Office 2011 is 32 bit software and will not run in Big Sur, or Catalina as they both require all software to be 64 bit.


MS stopped all support for 2011 over a year ago. They will not be doing anything to update or patch it. If you plan up upgrading the OS, then you'll need to purchase an up to date version of Office.
