Hi Peter I use Excel in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 with High Sierra without problems. Google and (RoaringApps) also claim Office 2011 is compatible with Mojave (!!). I very occasionally use Word and it seems to be ok too. You can check Office and Adobe compatibility at: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
I have no info about installing an old OS. Apple Support suggests that the latest version of OSX (10.6) would be reinstalled in Recovery mode if the latest installed version on the MBP is in the 10.6 series.
