No. It's 32 bit only software and will not run in Catalina.


If you require Office, you can upgrade to Office 365 (subscription) or Office 2019 (one-time cost).


365 comes with Outlook. If you need Outlook and would prefer Office 2019, make sure to purchase the business version. The home version of Office 2019 does not include Outlook.


Once installed, make sure to import your Office 2011 Outlook data before removing the old version.
