How To Run A 32 Bit App On Catalina

After reading on the forum, I DID NOT install Catalina. Im running Mojave and hope to skip Catalina and then go to the next OS. I bought the new office

because I didn't want a web-based system, either. Now I can use both Word and Excel with no problem.

I used office 2011 for 8 years, know how to use it and think its worth $150.

It is possible to run 32-bit versions of your software in Catalina using Parallels. See this:

Hi!

I just got the new MacBook Pro 16" (the one with the post-Butterfly keyboard). In the process, I got Catalina. Now, I had a 2012 application called "Sandvox" that I had used to construct a basic personal website consisting of static pages only. A few years ago, "Sandvox" died. But I could continue to access my website as I still had the application. However, since the application is old, it is 32bit. And Catalina is for 64bit applications. Still, I am reading all over the Internet that it is possible to run a 32bit application on Catalina after all. It seems complicated, though, and at my level of incompetence, impossible. Am I correct in assuming that for this work to be done access to the actual computer is necessary? If so, can you recommend someone in Chicago who could do this work for me? This is where the computer is! Needless to add, I am prepared to pay for this service. Thank you very much for any help you can offer. Pierre
