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.

Just installed Lion. MNow my Microsoft Office suite won't work What's wrong

I just installed Lion. Now my Microsoft Office Suite won't work. What's wrong ??

If you had used the search box in the upper right of this page you could have answered this question on your own.
You have a few options: restore back to Snow Leopard from the backup you made before you installed Lion; upgrade to Office for Mac 2011; install Pages from the Mac App Store; use TextEdit; install one of the many open source Office replacements that can found.

I have just purchased microsoft office mac 2011 I installed it on my imac no problem but it will not install on my mini mac. when i put the disk in it says an intel based macintosh is needed. The box system requirements match my mini mac

I have recently purchased Microsoft office for mac. I have installed it on my imac with no problems. However it will not in stall on my mini mac. The system requirements state mac OS X version 10.5.8 which is what my mini mac is. When I insert the disk the page displays says Intel based macintosh needed any suggestions ?

Sounds like you've got a PowerPC G4 mini? i.e. NOT an Intel mini? What does it say after "Processor:" in "About this Mac"?

Can the microsoft office be installed on the iPad2?

can the microsoft office be installed on the iPad2?

Fria.
So you want to view edit and even compose MS Office style documents on your iPad well there ARE ways, several in fact and you should not be put OFF by jbjoret's simple NO.
True facts are that todate Microsoft have not produced a version of MS Office suitable for ios or for that matter the other leading mobile ios (Android) either, but that's not the end of the story.
Within Apples ios you can buy and install versions of Pages and Numbers (The Apple productivity suite) and these will allow you to open edit save print email (in a choice of .doc .pdf or .pages formats).
Third party apps such as Documents to Go work near flawlessly with MS Office documents for creation, editing ....
What you probably need to consider is how you get documents on and off your iPad and here you could consider Dropbox.
For viewing PDFs Word and many other files try Goodreader.
And finally you will need helpers for effective printing (Since Airprint capability is limited to a handful of HP eprinters)
Here you could try PrintBureau combined with helper App WePrint Server (Both PC and MAC compatible) this allows you to print to almost any networked printer via WiFi using the host PC.
If you have a Mac also install Printopia to allow printing again to many networked printers. (Similar PC solutions exist as well
This is a lot of information however rest assured you really can do business with an iPad with near full MS OFFICE interoperability
I say near because you always risk hitting a few formatting and/or complex macro problems with more complex MS OFFICE documents (these happen even between differing versions of MS OFFICE as well)

Upgraded to OS X Mavericks. Now I no longer have iPhoto or Microsoft Office.

I recently had my hard drive replaced and upgraded to OS X Mavericks. Now I no longer have iPhoto or Microsoft Office. Do I have to purchase them again?

If you have them on a backup of your system you can restore them from there. If your system shipped with Snow Leopard or earlier then you should have an applications DVD that came with it, which would have iPhoto on it. IF your sytem shipped with Lion or later then you can download iPhoto from the Mac App Store from the purchases tab.

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

Does OS Lion handle Duplicates effectively? I want a review as am planning to switch to lion

Does OS Lion handle Duplicates effectively? I want a review as am planning to switch to lion

I currently use an iPhone, an iPad, and a Mac computer for business. The three devices have Contacts Managers that sync with each other through both Google and through Mobile Me. Currently, this has created a mess of duplicate contacts. Please advise me on the steps necessary for removing these duplicates and establishing a syncing solution that doesn't regenerate the duplicates. There are several applications available that remove duplicates, but I am not sure which ones work or don't work. I want information on this, but most importantly I want to understand how to fix this problem permanently. Also, I read somewhere that Mac's new operating system, Lion, can help deal with duplicates. I don't have Lion, but I would be willing to get it, if this would fix the problem.

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.

Are you talking about spellcheck or the language of menus and dialogues and menus?

You can either use Office for Mac 2011 or use Boot Camp to run Windows or use a VM, such as Parallels Desktop to run Windows. Running Windows, you'd be able to use MS Office for Windows.
