Office for mac with Mtn Lion?

This will not run since installing Mountain Lion.  I reloaded it with no improvement.  We need a fix on one program or the other.

Do you have the security settings set to app store and identified developers? I guess that wouldn't matter since you can't launch the apps. Try a safe boot. If that doesn't work, I think you need to start yanking com.microsoft files from the home library preferences folder. This looks helpful:

  • Can I run Microsoft Office for Mac with OS Lion?

    Does upgrading to Lion mean I lose my ability to use Microsoft Office for Mac?

    Hello. When you say after the upgrade, what specifically are you relating to? Do you mean going from Leopard to Lion and still being able to use the MS 2008 version?
    Peace

  • Compare iWork/Office for Mac with Office Windows

    I am an expert PC user switching to mac...
    I am moving toward google apps, but their doc program is not nearly as robust as MS WORD (windows). So, I need a sophisticated word processor...
    I have iWork 09 (bought it with the computer) and am considering buying MS Office for mac. I would prefer to use iWork (that is, an apple program), but don't want to go through the learning curve to find out it too is not powerful enough.
    Is there a web that reviews/compares iWork/Office for Mac with Office Windows? Or does anyone have any personal experience on how they compare? This would help me make the decision by learning only the one I will ultimately use.

    I, too, was a Windows vet until I switched in '03. My fiance has been on Mac since college--her Powerbook Duo (w/ OS 7.5) still works.

    Ditto. Google Apps are probably another year or two behind what desktop apps offer.

    I think that is what has made Office the standard for so long (and Wordperfect before it)--people don't like change...they like upgrades and enhancements, but not dramatic change. The learning curve for iWork

    Speaking as someone who owns Office 2008, I can tell you that Word '08 is dramatically slower than Pages; it is nothing like Office '07 (or earlier) for Windows. Word '07 demands a fraction of the RAM that Word '08 for Mac does, which may or may not be releated to the legacy support for older formats that Office '08 includes.
    Word does include a decent grammar checker, equation editor, and APA/MLA citation tool; however, Apple went a different route and made Pages instantly compatible with Mathtype and Endnote. My fiance is a math professor that teaches calculus, so she is no-doubt used to having to include mathematical equations and tricky text arrangements for exams, quizzes, and lesson plans; she used to use Word, but last year switched to Pages ('08) and loves it. When we downloaded the demo for iWork '09 and saw how well Mathtype integrated, she's a happy camper.
    I haven't been all that impressed with Office '08, at least not as much as I was with Office '07 for Windows. I never thought I'd say it but I think money is better spent on iWork '09, and later getting Endnote or Mathtype (if needed), than purchasing Office '08. That's my take on it, and I've been using Word/Office since 6.0 on Windows 3.1.

  • Outlook for Mac with Mountain Lion - where are my folders ?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the folders I had On My Mac disappeared.  Does anyone know how i can retreive them?  Then how do I import them into Apple Mail as I am done with Outlook.

    What is "Windows for Mac software"? Do you mean Office for Mac? If you mean Office for Mac, what version do you have? Mountain Lion only supports Office for Mac 2008 and newer. Mountain Lion does not support any PPC programs. If this is your situation you must upstae your Office for Mac to the newest version.

    Sim[le answer is that you can't.  Unless and until Microsoft add the functions needed to Outlook. Right now if you want to sync Microsoft Outlook you'll need to use Microsoft Exchange

  • Apple works  or iwork vs. microsoft office for mac

    I am a first-time mac user and unfortunately, did not have apple works loaded onto my imac. I did have a beta version of office for mac with which I am familiar. My question, since I was unable to trial apple works or iwork, is whether I should go with office for mac or apple works/iwork? My basic needs are word processing/home use. Hope someone can help me out as I need to purchase something.

    My question, since I was unable to trial
    apple works or iwork, is whether I should go with
    office for mac or apple works/iwork? My basic needs
    are word processing/home use. Hope someone can help
    me out as I need to purchase something.
    AppleWorks and iWork are both less expensive than MS Office.
    You should have trial versions of both iWork and MS Office on your iMac, according to this software list from the specifications page:
    iLife ’06 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand),
    Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive,
    iWork (30-day trial),
    Quicken 2006 for Macintosh,
    Big Bang Board Games,
    Comic Life,
    Omni Outliner, and
    Apple Hardware Test
    Although my personal preference is AppleWorks, I'd hesitate to recommend it in your case. Appleworks is not, and likely never will be native to the intel OS X environment, and runs through Rosetta on the new machines. Although it runs well, and is a viable choice for anyone currently using it, AppleWorks is at the end of its development cycle. Unless you need its spreadsheet and database capabilities, you're probably better off looking at Pages in iWork.
    Pages is a competent wp and page layout application, and for some long term users of AppleWorks, has become their favourite for this purpose. Pages includes some basic spreadsheet functions in inserted tables.
    Office is an 'entrepreneur' level suite of applications, and as such contains a larger feature set in each application than either iWork or AppleWorks. But given your stated needs, it's probably a bigger hammer than you need, and one with a longer and steeper learning curve than you'd want. If you NEED to share files with Windows/MS Office users, there are a couple of free alternatives—OpenOffice.org, which requires you to install X11, Apple's Xwindow implementation, and NeoOffice, which runs in Java, which you will already have installed.
    Others may have different recommendations.

    Barry

  • Is anyone else having problems with Office for Mac and Lion?

    Since installing Lion 10.7.1 on a macbook pro 2.53 Ghz 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 I have had no end of problems. Both Excel and Word hang, crash and saving an Excel file is a pain. A 12mb spread sheet just took 4 minutes to save! I have MS Office for Mac 2011 version 14.1.3.
    Another problem that may not be related to Office is that opening Finder is so slow and most of the time it takes a minute to display folders in Desktop or Documents.
    Any suggestions would be welcome .. I regret installing Lion .. I had no problems with Snow Leopard!

  • Office for Mac X compatibility with Lion

    Hi guys,
    My company is equipped with Office for Mac X (came out in 2002, fairly obsolete I know), and we're trying to know whether we'll be able to use the software on the new OS Lion (until now, we've been able to use it no matter what new OS we have been using)
    Any clues?
    Thanks

    Ask Mircosoft seeing as how they are the ones that produce it?
    IMHO the chances are probably slim at best.
    I always love companies that are so cheap as to not upgrade their software until forced to do it. Then they whine and moan about the expense and difficulty to do it a decade ot so to late.

  • Does Lion work with Office for Mac?

    Does Lion work ok with Office for Mac? I have the latest version of Office for Mac, but it is the cornerstone of my working life and I would hate to upgrade and find that it doesn't work.

    Yes, Office 2011 works perfectly on Lion.  Only versions 2004 and older have a problem as Rosetta is no longer supported.
    I hope this helps.

  • Office for Mac issues with Lion

    Since installing Lion, I no longer have access to my Office for Mac Excel, Word, or PowerPoint...is there a simple fix for this?

    Both my wife and I use Excel and Word for work.......would you recommend, then that the upgrade would make sense, as our version is pretty old, anyway?
    If you don't use Outlook then you could use one of the freebies, Open Office or Libre Office are often recommended, but they are not 100% compatible with MS Office, there will be minor formatting changes, and if you use VBA or Excel macros to help in your work you will have to do without them.
    Buy Office 2011 Home & Student for Mac (no Outlook) should be around $100, if you and your wife have individual computers you will need 2 copies.

  • I am running 10.6.8 on an iMac7,1 with 2.4GHz, 4Gb RAM.  Other than usual Apple apps, I also run Microsoft Office for Mac.  Am i better off upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks rather than trying to go to Yosemite ?  Thanks!

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an iMac 7,1 system with 2.4GHz processor and 4Gb RAM.   I also use Microsoft Office for Mac.
    I am wondering whether i should upgrade to Yosemite or first go to Mountain Lion or Maverics to avoid sluggishness and other potential issues with using Yosemite on this iMac.

    i had thought Snow Leopard was no longer supported hence my idea to upgrade.
    It isn't being supported any longer.
    If you haven't done this you might want to consider doing it for security.

  • Lion compatibility with Micro Soft Office for MAC ?

    I loaded Lion but now can't access word, excel etc. Can anyone provide advice I have ten years worth of data I need to look at on a regular basis on office for mac programs.
    Thanks

    Office 2008 and 2011 run fine on Lion - but any earlier versions won't.
    Apple's iWork will open most MSOffice files and will export to MSOffice (but not always reliably).
    With Office 2008, the catch is that even though it will run in Lion, you can't install it in Lion because the installer itself won't run in Lion.
    So if you want to get hold of Office 2008, you should do so and install it BEFORE you install Lion. And keep a clone of Snow Leopard somewhere, for that day when you may need to install Office 2008 again....

  • I am running Os X Lion with Home and student office for Mac. My MS Outlook Mail programme has picked up a virus I think. The programme is sending out multiple mails to addresses that I have no knowledge of.

    Hi all: Wonder if any one can advise.
    My Mac is running Lion OS X 10.7.5 and I have MS Office for Mac (Student and Home) installed.
    A couple of days ago I noticed 14 emails in my inbox and others in Spam and Junk with a header explaining that these mails are undeliverable; they are mail addressees that I have never heard of.
    I have installed and run (I think correctly), ClamXav but it is still happenning.
    How can I rectify / rid my Mac / mail programme of this problem?
    Regards

    Check your "Sent Mail" folder to see if any of those messages were sent from it. If not then they just spoofed your address. If any are found there then your account was hacked (almost certainly on your ISP's mail server) and you need to change password and/or e-mail address.

  • Will Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 work on my iMac with Mountain Lion OS?

    Help!  I have downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on my iMac. Now I can't open or use files that contained labels I made with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 because Mountain Lion does not support Power PC and Microsoft Excel.  If I purchase and download Office for Mac 2011, will it allow me to continue using these label files?  If not, how can I get a database for my iMac that will enable me to create labels and catalogues?

    Thanks, Niel.  I'm glad to know purchasing the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 will enable me to retrieve and use my "ancient" database label files.  I did try to get OpenOffice, but my computer says "'OpenOffice' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and my "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  How can I do this?  I really don't know about the inner workings of my computer!
