Microsoft office 2004 for mac does not work now how do i get it to work!!
how do i get microsoft office for mac 2004 to work now i have downloaded Lion
Office 2008 is the oldest version that runs under lion. Office 2004 requires rosetta, which was discontinued as of 10.7. you'll have to upgrade to office 2008 or newer if you're using lion!

Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac - missing options
Hello!
I've got some trouble with Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac:
I realized that there are some options missing in the menu bars, such as "Insert > Cross-reference", etc.
Today I reinstalled the whole thing including all updates (11.3.7). No success.
However I noticed that on my admin account the options are existent but still not on my "everyday account".
Therefore my question:
How can I remove user specific preferences for Office? I guess this might solve my problem.
Thanks to anyone who has some hints for me!Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on compatibility issues between Macs and Windows.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered -

I working in Citrix and the keyboard does note generate. How can I get it to work?
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping upward on the app window (not the smaller icon) off the screen.
Then reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go. -
Microsoft office 2004 for mac installation problem
Hi there,
I initially download the microsoft office 2004 trial. I bought the student & teacher edition and install it in my macbook. There was a uninstall button on the trial software that I press and I don't know if that removed the trial version. The problem is "this product is license to office 2004 test drive user, my name and product ID number" are all showing initially when you press any of the office 2004 icon. Having the test drive user showing up makes me wonder if the trial version was totally deleted. If the trial version was not deleted, will it slow down the program and how can I remove it without re-installing the full version that I bought.
Any help is appreciated
thanks so much

Just received a new Imac running OS10.8 Mountain Lion. I have MS Office 2004 that ran ok on OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. I'm told that this software will not work on the new OS. Are there any work arounds?

... and have only used Word and hate to try to learn something new if not necessary.
The dirty little secret that they are keeping from you, is YES, there is a way to continue to use Microsoft Office's Word 2004 in Mountain Lion!
It is to install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 on your new Mac and then install and run Word 2004 there:
[click on images to enlarge]
Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only). Parallels 8 retails for $79 but can be found for less searching for discounts on the internet.
Personally I hate the way Microsoft has changed Word 2008 and Word 2011, because I was 100% comfortable with how Word 2004 was setup and utilized. There is a learning curve to both of these upgrades and a more steeper one to the "free" alternatives that were suggested to you.
In a perfect world, you should upgrade to Office 2011; I did (actually it was a gift, but the price was not an object for me anyway). But the world is not perfect...
So, if, like me, there are times that you are most comfortable operating in the Word 2004 environment, my suggestion offers you a easy, stable, relatively inexpensive means to continue to do so in Mountain Lion.
GOOD LUCK! -
After latest Microsoft Office 2004 update MBP does not sleep.
I did delete (helps often when a Mac is not sleeping):
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration (folder)
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
com.apple.AutoWake.plist
~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
but no luck.
Next I had a look at the Console and found this.

So Microsoft Office Notifications keeps looping to load this. Anybody any idea as to how to solve this?

A guess here, Perian is not the right architecture needed for the Office 2004 installation.
Morning Donald, is what I figured too.
If you can find it, goto the Perian PrefPane and select uninstall to see if that gets rid of the problem.
You can always d/l it again.
I did will report back.
BTW do you know what other programmes use Perian? -
How in the world can I get clip art I download from the online source to download INTO the Microsoft Office clip art search library!!!!!????
It keeps downloading onto my desktop!!!!
Then what do I do with it! With other Macs I have used it just goes in the clip art library where it is suppose to!!!!!!!!!!To Apple Discussions!
When you download you should get a window which will state *Save As & Where.*
In the Where section use the down arrow to scroll to Applications>Microsoft Word.
Select the +Clip Art+ folder.
However, if you would rather the download to the desktop then just drag the clip art into the Clip Art folder. -

MS Office 2004 for Mac : updates not installing
I've just realised that the last three Office updates I downloaded were all the same (11.3.3). Immediately after the last download, I checked to see if any more were available, and there was 11.3.3 still waiting.
On reflection, I don't think that this is a new problem. Recent updates I've downloaded have been about 57 MB and have contained all previous updates.
Can anyone help, please?
MacBook1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Hi Pica!
It's worth remembering that not all updates change the version number of the applications. Microsoft's way of making it really easy to remember what updates you have installed!
The 11.3.2 update just before Christmas was a mistake on their part, as you may remember. The latest one is 11.3.3, which did change the version numbers of all the Office applications to 11.3.3 - except for Powerpoint, which stayed at 11.3.2. But as the 11.3.3 updater was a Combo updater, and if your Word has version number 11.3.3, you have got it all.
If you downloaded the updater seperately, rather than using the auto update function, that could be the reason why it still shows up as 'available'.
There is no harm in running it again just to make sure. -

While trying to save a word document (Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac) in PDF, there is a section of the header or footer which is always missing!! Could anyone please tell me hot to fix this problem!!??? It works perfectly fine on my friends Mac!!
Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro? -
How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?
Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.

When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!
As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:
