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.

  • How can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    how can i use microsoft office on the mAC - what app do i purchase? help?!!

    What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
    You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
    If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
    But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
    Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
    MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
    (I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)

  • Can I use Microsoft Office for Student/Home for school?

    This might not be the right forum to ask this question, but I didn't see any other options listed that dealt specifically with Microsoft Office.
    I have to take a class for school that deals with using Microsoft Office Professional 2013. I have a Mac Book Pro Retina so obviously I can't use Microsoft Office Professional 2013. I have Microsoft Office for Student/Home, and according to the Microsoft website, the only difference is that the Home/Student edition doesn't include Outlook emails, calendars and tasks, although I have all three of those programs on my computer.
    I contacted my professor for this upcoming class and received no response yet.
    Can I get away with using this program? Or am I really expected to buy an entirely new program for one semester of school?
    Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    When he (professor) responds, it will be a definitive answer.  No one here can provide that for you.
    Ciao.

  • Can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

    can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

    I don't use Office myself so can't really offer advice. I don't recall seeing your issue before. Maybe someone who uses Office will be able to help.
    As this thread is marked as solved it won't get the attention your query warrants. It would be a good idea to start your own thread discussing the problem - I'm sure someone here will offer the right advice/help.
    Make sure you note what Mac your have and what version of OS X you are running.

  • I updated to Lion os x and can't use microsoft office 2004 i can't o

    I updated to Lion os x and now can not use Microsft Office 2004, I cant open it or uninstall it, it just says powerPC applications are no longer supported.
    I have lost all emails on Entourage and can only retrieve emails via hostway that have been delivered today.
    Trying to get help from Apple care is a nightmare as they need a serial number, which Lion being a digital download does not have one only web order number, which does not work when I put in serial box.
    Can any one help me please, I am getting so frustrated

    dual partition just means splitting the space on your hard drive into two, having Snow Leopard on one part and Lion on the other so you could use Office '04 on the SL side.  I am pretty sure installing '11 won't delete '04, but can't say with 100% certainty.  You can also check out free word processing programs such as OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

  • How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?

    Dear all,
    I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
    A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
    But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
    Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
    We would appreciate your help here!
    Kind regards,
    Jurjen

    As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
    As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications.  There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
    Each user account is able to run the Office apps.  The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
    You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

  • Can I use Microsoft office?

    I need to know if i can use microsoft office for my mac pro

    You can use the Mac version of Office, called OfficeMac.
    If you have a copy of Office already, but it's for Windows, you'll have to install it's compatible version of Windows into a virtual machine program in OS X, to run that version of Office.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
    If you don't need to work with others or don't have a lot of money,
    LibreOffice is free/donationware and opens Office files, etc
    Mac, Windows and Linux versions so you don't have to worry about what OS it's running.

    Microsoft haven't yet released an app version of their office programs, but there are apps that support word, excel, and powerpoint documents on an iPad.
    The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

  • Can I use a trackball with Lion?

    I have a physical disability. I use a trackball to navigate my Mac. I am very concerned about the Lion OS. Will I be able to use a trackball with it? I'm definitely not a fan of Apple's gesture system. I can barely mange to execute a one finger gesture (no humor intended), not to mention the 2 or 3  finger gestures. The whole scheme seems very disability unfriendly, and I'm very concerned because I am unable to use a trackpad.

    I'm having the same problem with my trusty Macally Q Ball as those above have reported with their Kensingtons.  It "works", but even though I reinstalled the latest driver, the configuration app says that the Q Ball is "not connected", and my configuration settings are ignored.
    Since Lion has been available to developers for a year or so, it's doubtful that they'll fix it.
    But, hey, this is a universal driver which works for a dozen products, and I see that some of them are still in production.  I think I'll send them an email.  If enough of us ask, they might fix it.
