Does Microsoft Office 2011 work in OS Lion?, Does Microsoft Office 2011 work in OS Lion?

My IT program needs Microsoft Office and it works on Windows. So I've had to adapt to how ti works on Mac but if it doesn't on OS Lion I'm stuffed. I wont be able to do homework, assignments or anything.

Here's a novel idea - people have gone to the trouble to post lists and tables of Lion compatibility, tips on finding what programs used Rosetta / PowerPC and therefore would need upgraded.

    Has your problem been solved by the updates??
    Have a similar problem. This MacBook opened all MS Office programs in Dec2012 but no longer does in Feb2013. Went to Microsoft/mac/downloads but none of the three updates would run citing a problem "version of software needed to run this update was not found on this volume".

    Hi, I just tried to open Word and this message appeared - 'You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.' I just recently loaded OS X Lion does this mean my software for MS Office is now out of date?  Do I have to purchase a new package? Any help appreciated.

    Hello:
    Office 2004 was written for the PowerPC chip only.  There is no emulation in OS X 10.7.
    I encountered the same issue sometime ago when I updated to OS X 10.7.
    There is one option that I might mention (other than buy Office 2011).  I switched to Apple's iWork.  Pages (the word processing package) is completely compatible with Word.  If you export Pages documents, you can export them in formats compatible with Microsoft programs.  iWork also contains programs that are compatible with Office presentation and spreadsheet packages.
    The reason I mention this is that the cost is about 1/2 of the cost of Office.

  • After installing Lion, my microsoft office suite doesn't work anymore, and show this message: Application Power PC no longer available. How can I resolve it?

    Is there any possibilty to recover the use of my Microsoft Office suite, which doesn't work anymore after installing Lion?
    The programs display this error message: "no puede abrir la aplicación Microsoft Excel (o any other) porque las aplicaciones Power PC ya no son compatibles"
    thanks for your help

    You will need to upgrade your suite of MS programs.
    Older suites, like MS Office 2004, use program versions written for Macs with PPC processors. In order to use those apps in pre-Lion OS's on an Intel-processor machine, it was necessary to install Rosetta, software designed just for the purpose of using PPC-apps on an Intel machine.
    Unfortunately, Lion does not support Rosetta, so those apps no longer work.
    Solution - update them to a version which will work in Lion, such as the MS Office 2008 suite, or newer if available.

  • On my 2008 MacBook I am running 10.6.8 with Microsoft Office 10.1.  Will this version of Office work if  I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    On my 2008 MacBook I am running 10.6.8 with Microsoft Office 10.1.  Will this version of Office work if  I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    No! Even Office 2004 will not run under Lion and newer. You can check out http://www.libreoffice.org/ and iWorks applications to replace Office.
    Check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here:  http://roaringapps.com/
    Note: a new version of Office for Mac is expected later this year or early next year. Buying Office 2011 now is buying old software. There will be no credits for older versions. The next version of Office will be subscription. This is the best option I know currently for subscription. This includes a free update to the new version when it's released.

    Regular List Price: $99.99  Price: $71.49 (price varies)

  • DOES MOUNTAIN LION SUPPORT MICROSOFT OFFICE 08?

    When I upgraded to Mountain Lion I was unaware that it did not support MicroSoft Office 98. I'm on a budget so I am asking if Mountain Lion supports
    MicroSoft Office 08.
    Thanks for your responses.

    Yes, Office 2008 will work, but it would be better to upgrade to Office 2011.
    You can upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • Does Lion support MS Office for Mac 2011? The RoaringApps compatibility list shows Office 2011 having some unspecified problems with Lion.

    Does Lion support MS Office for Mac 2011? The RoaringApps compatibility list shows Office 2011 having some unspecified problems with Lion. Any confirmation yest showing compatibility with Office 2011?

    I'm running MS Office 2011 on Lion and it runs just fine.  No "Full Screen", but it runs just fine.  There may have been an update to install (I know there was an iWork one anyway), but even before I installed any updates Office '11 worked just fine.

    I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011.  I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message.  Suggestions?

    Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768.  I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate.  I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution.  Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind.  Hope this helps.  Cheers.

  • Mac Lion and Microsoft Office Not Supported

    I just updated my Mac Pro with 10.7.2 and now won't support Microsoft Office 2004. How come or what can I do? I can't access documents, spread sheets, power point.

    Lion does not support Rosetta which is required to run PPC-only applications. You can upgrade to Office 2011 that works with Lion. Or you can try a free suite similar to Office 2007 for Windows - Libre Office.

  • Does it support microsoft word 2011? reviews suggest it does not?

    Some reviews suggestion Mac OS X Lion does not support Word, is this true? I dont want to down load it and find it stops me using word. Thanks

    I have just read the same review for a user saying how he hopes Apple will give hima refund as there wasnt any warning that microsoft wouldnt work. This is the reason why i signed up to this community to see if any other users had the same issues as him. Before i upgrade as i cant be losing the ability to use word.
    It seems that his is a rare case according to the majority of users on this forum.
    It was a review by a user name Parakhodnik on the 20 July 2011 on the App store feature of the OS X Lion scroll down to reviews and its there.
    I will upgrade shortly and if i have any issues with it il post em asap. Hope i dont.

  • Office 2013 C2R Update Scheduled Task does not work

    Hi all.
    I am having difficulty getting network deployed updates to work correctly. I installed and older version of Office 2013 with the ODT from a network share and set the update path. I then downloaded an update via ODT.
    The issue is the scheduled task does not update office. If I trigger or manually run from a command prompt "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection modeargs reschedulemode tasktrigger
    scheduledtask updateuitype background” from Task Scheduler nothing seems to happen. Monitoring Task Manager it looks like integratedoffice is called albeit very briefly.
    But, if I run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection background” from a command prompt Office updates, but if I edit the Scheduled Task to above Office does not update if the
    task is triggered.
    As Office can update if the right command is given it would appear that my config.xml etc is correct. Any ideas on why the Scheduled Task does not work?
    Cheers
    Jakes

    What permissions are set on the location of the updates ? C2R currently needs permissions granted for machine accounts as it runs under that context. This will change at some point that C2R gets updated.

    RRFS is correct, however you are incorrect. There is no such thing as MS Office for Mac 2007, your software is probably MS Office for Mac 2004! You can upgrade to MS Office for Mac 2011 for as little as $97 at www.macsales.com or Amazon has it for $90.00.
    Once you have upgraded all of your Office data files can then be opened.

  • I have Microsoft Office 2011 Student Edition installed on MacBook Pro; Can I install Microsoft Office Windows 2008 onto Mac without deleting Microsoft Office 2011?

    I have previously installed Microsoft Office Student Edition 2011 on my MacBook Pro.  While installing Microsoft Office 2008 Windows; message prompts to delete Microsoft Office 2011.  Is there a way around this issue?

    Office 2008 was a Mac version. The equvalent Win version is 2007. So there is no "Office 2008 Windows." Which version are your trying to install?
    Are you using Boot Camp to run Win on your MBP and want to install Office for Win there? I can't see that being a problem..
    I do know that the regular version of Office Mac won't run properly if the trial version is present. The installer is set up to look for other versions, resumably to keep the trial version and the regualr from clashing.
    Office Mac 2011 is equiv to Office for Win 2010
