I had purchased a copy of Microsoft word (Office) years ago and had been using it all of this time. After upgrading my MacBook Air to Catalina, Word would not work without an update. The update is complete, and it appears that now I must purchase a recurring membership in order to be able to use my Microsoft Word (Office) which I already paid for. Want to update to macOS Catalina but can't justify losing access to all the outdated 32-bit apps I rely on (looking at you Microsoft Word for Mac 2011). — Michael Robinson (@MAJRobinson.
QuickTime 7 is 32 bit software and will never be updated. It's dead. Don't know which version of Toast you're referring to.
Office 2016 does work. That it doesn't for you suggests you've never applied any updates. It was originally 32 bit software and MS updated the entire thing to 64 bit quite a while ago.
Download the 16.16.14 update and install it.
Microsoft Office 2011 Mac Os Catalina
It's been two years since Apple started making it known 32 bit software was going to be left behind. With the introduction of Mojave, they came right out said 32 bit software would not run in the next major release of macOS. No OS name at the time, but that is now of course Catalina.
