Does Lion software work with Microsoft Office

After I upgraded to Lion i noticed that my MS OFFICE was not compatible. Is this fixable without purchasing new software?

I suspect you were running MS Office for Mac 2004, that will not run in Lion because it was written for PPC (Power PC) computers. Without going into a long explanation if you are running Office for Mac 2004 no it will not work and you will need to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011.The good news is all your files are safe though. You can find Office for Mac 2011 discounted at many places including Amazon. You can think of it this way, you paid about $150 about 7 years ago. That means you paid about $1.78 per month so you have gotten your money's worth!

Does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

I am afraid I have reverted to Snow Leopard as I was having one problem after another with Lion and for every problem I was solving, two new ones cropped up. I won't bore you with a long list, but one example is whenever I clicked on a single saved document to view, Microsoft Word would open not only that particular document, but also half a dozen other ones as well. Also, my Canon printer did not operate properly nor would Aol. With a lot of other weird stuff happening every day, the final straw was when my Time Capsule wouldn't backup properly, but just 'hang' indefinitely.
Luckily, I have two HD disks on my iMac and I had installed Lion on HD2 while still retaining Snow Leopard on HD1. I also made a Lion installation disk for future installation when all these software bugs have been sorted.
I am back to normal service with Snow Leopard and shall not return to Lion until at least the next upgrade/patch becomes available. I so looked forward to Lion as well, but I was fighting a losing battle.
I would suggest anyone who is in my position trying to stem the tidalwave of software problems with Lion, make an installation disk for Lion and go back to SL until the next upgrade.

Re: auto save not working with microsoft office on OS Lion

Is there anyone else having issues with the auto-save/versions not working with Microsoft office on the OS Lion Upgrade?

It seems (from some testing I've just done) that:
1. It's not an explicit choie or preference - it's just there, in the background, invisible
2. Your textedit document has to have been saved once (i.e given a name), or you've reopened a previously saved document
If those conditions are met, Textedit will keep the doc saved.
My test was:
Open existing docuement
Make changes
Wait a few seconds
Quit Textedit
Reopen Textedit - and there's the doc with all the changes.
I ran the test again, quitting Textedit immeditaley I had made the change - and it saved the change successfully.
Hope that helps

It sounds to me that you are migrating from a PC computer to a Mac.
To the extent that you are using Microsoft Office on your PC, you should just purchase Microsoft Office 2011 for your Mac. All of your Word, Excel and PowerPoint files should open easily in Office 2011. Your contact/mail program, Outlook, is now also supported in Office 2011, but I personally have no experience in cross-platform data transfer for Outlook. Somewith with cross-platform Outlook experience, please jump in!

How can Lion upgrade work with Microsoft Terminal Services.

We have a new Mac Mini and was told that Lion would work with Microsoft's Terminal Services. If this a correct statement because 'NOW " we have been advised they are not compatible unless we use parrallel or bootcamp is this correct?

Do you want to use the Mac mini to connect to a Windows system using the Windows Terminal Services protocols? Then you can install an RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) client.
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Mac OS X Client (free)
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx>
CoRD (Microsoft RDC Screen Sharing)
<http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22770/cord>
On the other hand, if you wanted to use the Mac mini as a server and have Windows systems connect using Windows Terminal Services, that is not going to happen, unless you install Windows on the Mac mini.
If you want to just remote connect to the Mac mini and see the screen from a Windows system, you can use a Windows VNC client (there are many VNC clients available) to connect to the Mac mini, after enabling System Preferences -> Sharing -> Screen Sharing. If the Mac mini has multiple accounts, you should be able to have multiple users connect concurrently, however, a Mac mini is not all that powerful, so I would not expect a lot of concurrently users can use the system at the same time.
If the above has not answered your questions, please be more specify about what you want to do with the Mac mini. Maybe some explicit examples.

Do I need to update my internet options?

See ''tmaca's'' post, 3rd one up from the bottom. He seems to think you can update it manually: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/822003#answer-184670
Officially though, we're still at this stage: [http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-product-compatibility-with-Firefox-Updates/m-p/443808 Norton product compatibility with Firefox Updates]
If you want to revert to the previous secure version, do the following. 
Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.

Does anyone know if versions and auto save work with microsoft office 08 in Lion? thanks

does anyone know if version and auto save work on office 08 with lion?

No, they don't.
Autosave and Versions are specific technologies that the developer must enable in their programs. It is not handled purely by the OS.
I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but I doubt they would update 2008 to use them. Maybe 2011.

Does the E71 work with Microsoft Active Sync or no...

Hi,
Can anyone help please.
I need to Sync the E71 with my work email, the company runs Exchange servers.
I've read countless messages and posts about the E71 and Active Sync and I still can't understand if it works or not. I know the specification says it supports Microsoft Active Sync but does it work?
Can anyone give me any tips, advice or any downloads that are required?
A guy at the office has an E63 and he cannot get it to receive his work emails. The IT department have tried and say it just does not work.
Any pointers would be very welcome!
Many thanks,

Hi,
Nokia E71 supports Active Sync Protocol, to Sync your Personal Info with your corporate Microsoft Exchange Account, you can install Mail for Exchange (An application from Nokia to receive/sync your corporate mails) which works on the Active Sync protocol. Log onto www.businesssoftware.nokia.com or go to Downloads in your handset & download the Mail for Exchange application. Install it in your handset, then contact your Company's IT Admin to configure the account & enable you to receive/sync mails with your corporate account. For more info on Mail for Exchange, log onto www.businesssoftware.nokia.com

Does Lion not work with Canon scanners?

I have an old Canoscan N1240U. Although the Canon website offers software downloads for this under Mac OS X they are for Power PC. Is there anything else I can do?

I have a relatively new Mac Mini running Lion and a Cannon LIDE700F. I have found that if the Mac goes to sleep, Image Capture will give an error when I try to scan. The only fix I could come up with was to unplug and replug the scanner USB connector. I was initially convinced that this was a Cannon driver issue, but I have discovered that if I open Adobe Photoshop Elements and ask it to scan an image from the Cannon scanner, it will do so (evidently resetting the USB port). After that I can open Image Capture and the scanner works as if I had unplugged and replugged the USB connector. So I now believe that it is an Apple issue with Image Capture.
Hope this helps somebody.

Do Apple products (the Mac desktop computers for example) work with Microsoft office?

For example, Microsoft word, powerpoint etc. I am getting a new computer but need to make sure it's compatible first. Also, if they do work together, is there a major difference in using them or is it similar to a PC? Thanks!

There is a Mac version of Office available, MS Office 2011 or 365 (subscription)

Haw can I work with microsoft office on my ipad mini

There are a number of apps that support word documents (MS haven't yet released their own app). The options include Apple's Pages app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go (and 'premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.
