Does Lion work with MS Office

I read on the app reviews that Lion doesn't work with Microsoft office software - is this true?

MS Office 2008 and 2011 works fine, but any versions prior to these will not run at all. This is because Lion doesn't support Rosetta, which allowed Mac users to use PowerPC-based applications.
Cheers

  • Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

    Does Lion work with an Epson Stylus Photo R2000 Ink Jet Printer?

    Took deliverly of my R2000 yesterday 11/04/2012.
    **** of a job/mission getting to connect wirelessly to OSX Lion, but thanks to the perseverence of Epson support online chat plus ultimately phone call from Epson,the problem was resolved (total 3hours 45mins online chat 45mins on phone) yes i was a gineapig as the R2000 has only been available since March 2012 here in the UK.
    1. Download combo driver/utilities for R2000 Mac 10.6 (works with Lion)
    2. Install latest drivers and Epsonet.
    3. Connect the printer to your wireless router using a LAN cable.
    4. Ensure ink is installed on startup of the printer as the printer wont for some reason communicate without it as all the printer knows is it needs ink.
    5. Ensure Mac is also connected to router.
    6. Run Epsonet.
    7. When Epsonet has found the R2000 click next.
    8. Then click Changes on the following screen.
    9. Select wireless Lan.
    10. Select config manually (the auto will not work with Lion)
    11. Allow Epsonet to use passwords from keychain network name(SSID) + WEP password.
    12. When done you will be prompted to disconnect the LAN from the printer.
    13. Then Click next.
    14. Ensure wireless light on printer is lit if not hold WiFi button on printer for 3 Secs.
    15. If config is successful (it took me Two attempts) goto system preferences/print/scan/Add printer and add the R2000 that ends in IP.
    Hope this helps someone. Epson support is a good enough reason to buy Epson IMO as mentioned with their help it took nearly 4 hours to reach the above solution at no cost to myself and believe you me i was on the verge of returning the printer to the supplier as Wireless printing is a must with a 19 month old child on the loose.
    Thanks Epson/Europe

  • How does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

    how does lion work with logic 9.1.4?

    Greetings,
    So far, everything seems as stable as before.  Which doesn't actually mean its rock solid, but otherwise workable.  I'm running a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24DSP with beta audio drivers.  So far, everything is running well.  I decided to jump into the 64bit work environment with Logic.  I have yet to encounter huge problems with the 32bit audio bridge.  Just making sure I bounce everything that is 32bit.
    As for everything else within Logic, I can't say I hate Lion.  Matter of fact, Lion seems buggier than Logic at the moment.  Logic handles well in Lion, but Lion on its own overall is a different can of worms.  I am mixed about a 10.7.1 update.  Usually, it fixes something on the OS, but breaks something else in Logic.
    I have faith that Lion will turn out to be as solid as Snow Leopard.  SL was my favorite OSX so far.  Lion still leaves allot to be desired in terms of stability.
    Again, answer to your question:  for me, Logic and Lion play nice.............for now.
    LGK

  • 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.

  • Does Lion work with Turbotax 2010 and prior years?

    Does the current year version of TurboTax work with Lion.  Also are there any "cut-off" prior year compatibility issues.  Intuit has not posted a confirmation on their website.

    Thanks baltwo.  I went to the Intuit discussion forum and found a tip which led to solving my specific problem discussed above.  I was able to resolve the problem by turning off the Resume function in TurboTax per the following link:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/01/turn-off-resume-per-app-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    Specifically, I typed the following into Terminal:
    defaults write com.intuit.turbotax.2010 NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    I had to recover my original file from a backup, but now all is well with making changes, saving the file and reopening the file.

  • 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.

  • HT1338 preview does not work with mountain lion

    I updated my mid 2011 mac mini to mountian lion and i find Preview and all of MS Office 2011 for MAC fails to work
    I can cut and paset the logs, but lets astart with assessing whagt does not work with Mountain Lion.

    Your profile lists a 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard.
    I installed Windows XP into Bootcamp on my 2009 MacBook Pro (either in Leopard or Snow Leopard, I do not remember which) and I used it with Parallels 6.
    When I upgraded it to Lion, even though the Lion Bootcamp will NOT install Windows XP, my Bootcamp (and use by Parallels 7) survived the upgrade.
    It may be possible that it will also survive and operate a future upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • Why does Corel Suite 10 does not work with Lion OS?

    Why does Corel Suite 10 does not work with Lion OS?

    Either it's incompatible or it's a PPC-only application. PPC applications are no longer supported in Lion because there is no longer a Rosetta emulator. Contact Corel for support.
