    Yes, probably can.. but it won't be fast. You are better storing programs locally and data remotely.

  • 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?

  • Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2?  If yes, then how?  I have the software and one more load opportunity left.

    Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2?  If yes, then how?  I have the software and one more load opportunity left.
    Reason that I ask is that I'm worried that I will not be able to read or work word or excel docs that people send me.

    No. Office 2011 for Mac is coded to run with OS X. In order to work on the iPad the app must be coded for iOS instead.
    If you look in the iTunes App Store, you will find that there are many apps that allow you to work with Office files on an iPad.

  • Does installing lion have an effect microsoft office software installed?

    Im thinking of installing lion onto my macbook pro.
    WIll it have an effect on the microsoft office software that i have installed?

    Depends on what version of Office you have installed.
    2004 won't work at all.
    2008 and 2011 will work fine.
    Some people have a PowerPC based installer for 2008. If that is your case, then you can install Lion and everything will continue to work, but if you have to reinstall office for some reason, it won't work.

  • How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

    I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
    Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
    As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
    If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
    Cheers,
    Jack

    First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop).  Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
    Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
    Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts.  Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
    You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
    Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
    Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards).  You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
    You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
    Good luck.

  • Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

    Can one run Microsoft publisher on a imac without using a virtual software?

    You would have to use Bootcamp to install a full copy of Windows to run Publisher, or virtual software.  There's no other way.  Microssoft's native code is not compatible with Apple's OSX code.

  • Why can't I run Microsoft office on OSX 10.10

    I have OSX 10.10 and it will not allow me to run microsoft office 2011.  What is wrong?

    What happens when yo try to run it?
    Have you repaired the startup disk via Dis Utilities?
    If you purchased a digital copy you should have the verification code or equal and thus be able to redownload it.
    If you lost the disk then contact Microsoft
    You can also post in the Microsoft communities

  • Since downloading Mountain Lion, I can't access Microsoft Office. I have many documents I must gain access to. How?

    How can I retrieve Microsoft Office and all my documents? How do I get past the GateKeeper?

    Office 2004 will not run in ML. You must have '08 or '11. As for gatekeeper, go into System Preferences and select the Security & Privacy pane. Select General at the top and click the gold lock at the bottom-left corner of the screen. You will be prompted for your admin username and password. Finally, set the "Allow applications downloaded from:" field to either of the second two options (the middle one offers the most security of the two).

  • I need to run Microsoft Office 2010 and can't figure out what I need to do...

    Im taking a office applications class and we're required to use Microsoft Office 2010. I have Windows for mac 2011 on my computer but that's not good enough. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get Office 2010 running on my iMac desktop. I'm really not very computer savvy when it comes to this stuff...

    To run Microsoft Office 2010 on your iMac you will need to install Windows.  You can do this one of two ways. 
    Use BootCamp (free program on your iMac) to make a windows partition and then install Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, or 7) then you will need to restart your computer with the windows partition then you will need to install Microsoft Office. 
    You can buy Parallels Desktop 7 ($79.95) or VMware Fusion 4 (49.95) these programs make what is called a virtual machine on your iMac it's like any other program, but is is designed to run Windows and other OS along side of your Mac OS no need to restart your iMac, the main advantage.  Once you install Windows then you can install Microsoft Office 2010. 
    Note: Both of these methods will require a full version of Microsoft Windows. 

  • Can I use Microsoft Office with Lion?

    I am working with someone who has a PC computer using the windows VISTA operating system.
    My computer is the original flat panel iMac with MAC OX 10.4.11.
    I would like to purchase another MAC but most importantly I need to be able to  run Microsoft Office.
    Knowledgeable guidance and advice is requested.

    Be aware of one issue, if you are using Microsoft Exchange and the version is 2007R1 sp3 or earlier you must use Office 2008 as 2011 only supports R1 sp4 or later.
