It worked for me and I am so grateful as I have wasted so much time trying to figure it out. Clicking on "Enable Microsoft Office online files" allowed me to import the .cil file on my desktop.

Also, you can use a mouse with a right click button (i.e. a standard PC mouse) and Mac recognizes it. One more thing - there is OpenOffice for Mac, so if you want to get away from commercial platforms for documents, that is now available. Tried it recently and it works very well.
