You can still get local versions of Office it's just the version you had (2011 I assume, older possibly?) was 32 bit only.

I previously looked for this without luck, but it seems there is a manual upgrade here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/office-... I will check it out.

Office 2019 for Mac would be the version to target for longest support. The reason 2011 didn't have an upgrade path is its support ended in 2017.

the one I used to have before catalina was Office 2016, I am not sure if my license is compatible with 2019.

I just tried the packagefile from the link, and after installing I am still stuck with MS office 365.

At this point, libreoffice does the job, and I cant be bothered to invest more time to get MS office, 2016 edition 64 bit, or whatever would be applicable in my case, to work like before catalina.

thanks for the tips though.
