Software quick-fire questions

Can I use Adobe Creative Suite 5 with macOS Sierra?

CS6 and older versions have minor issues with recent versions of the system, but generally run well. Before trying to use them, you need to install Apple’s old legacy Java runtime, though; it’s available for systems all the way back to OS X 10.7 from apple.co/1Wc1ToK.

How can I put Pages templates in the Dock?

Save the documents in Pages template format to a folder in, say, your Documents folder. Next, drag that folder into the Dock to the right of the divider to create a stack for quick access to the folder’s contents. Pages also helps you add templates direct to its Template Chooser, so that they’re offered each time you create a new Pages document.

How can I uninstall Acrobat Pro 8?

Try running Acrobat Uninstaller, which is located in the app’s folder in Applications. If that doesn’t work, simply drag the whole app folder to the Trash. You can also hunt down and clear out the app’s preference files, stored in Library/Preferences folders at the top of your startup disk and in your Home folder, though they don’t take up much space.

How can I save from Word 2011 to iCloud Drive?

Office 2011 and earlier can’t see iCloud Drive, so you can only open and save local docs or those on your local network. Copy files there manually, or use Sierra’s ability to put Desktop and Documents there automatically.
