does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

...since upgrading from a Macbook pro to a retina pro (with the latest OS) I cannot get Outlook to work, it freezes when I try to add my email accounts info...
The latest OS is 10.8.2. You've posted in the Lion (OS 10.7.x) forum.
...I don't have a clue what can be going wrong, it was all working fine on my macbook pro with Snow Leopard and the same setup is not working with Mountain Lion on the retina, ...The only reason I upgraded from Office 2008 was because I couldn't get it to stop closing down every few seconds with 'a problem'...
Different operating systems canNOT be the "same setup."
In my original installation of Office 2011 on a 2007 MBP with OS 10.6.8, I followed the guidelines Tips for a Successful Install. In launching Outlook 2011 for the first time, it recognized that I had Entourage 2004 and I was chose the option to have all the data transferred to Outlook 2011. While that was well over a year ago, I'm fairly certain that I did not need to manually set up my multitude of existing email accounts. Subsequently, I've added new accounts. A couple of months ago, I got a new mid-2012 MBP (non-retina) with OS 10.7.4. I used Pondini's advice , which I found here in the Apple Support Community for OS 10.7, to setup the new MBP from the old MBP with Setup Assistant. Afterwards, I manually installed my applications. I am certain that I did not need to manually setup any email accounts when I launched Outlook 2011.
That said, if you did not fix the problem that you were experiencing with Office 2008 (and more specifically Entourgage 2008) but migrated that data to your new rMBR, then your problem may lie within the old data. You have not provided information on how you installed Office 2011, if your setup of Outlook is as new or datea ported from Entourage, and what troubleshooting steps you have tried. As Kurt Lang suggested, the Microsoft Community would be best with your specific issues as stated.

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work with mountain lion?

    Was wondering if Microsoft Office 2011 works with Mountain Lion since the 1997 version does not.

    Okay, I will try that.  It looks like I have installed it twice already.  An obvious novice. I will do it again though.

    A 4 year old Macbook Pro should run Lion. Unless its a CoreDue and not a Core2Duo. Remember that PPC computers can not even run Snow Leopard. This was when Apple announced that support for PPC programs would be phased out. Office 2004 is almost 8 years old now. Twice as old as your computer you say needs to be replaced. I can't believe people rush in to install a new system without doing a little bit of research, and the dropping of Rosetta to run old PPC programs was well advertised if you read up on Lion, as was the introduction of Mission Control and Versions. I even read up about them, and I'm not a professional like some who come here. May pay to remember to research in future releases.
    Good Luck

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work well on a mac mini?

    I was thinking of buying Pages and Numbers from the App Store but saw that most of the reviews were negative.  Should I just get Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac?

    Those Pages v5 reviews are negative for a reason.
    If you have to exchange documents in a corporate, or educational setting where MS Office is used, then you probably should create native Word .doc/x content in Office for Mac 2011. Alternatively, you might also look at the free LibreOffice suite. It is far more comprehensive than Pages, and gets the .doc/x export done right.
    Office for Mac 2011, or LibreOffice work just fine on a Mac Mini. There are several Microsoft updates available for Office for Mac 2011 — be sure to install them.

    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.

  • How to make Microsoft Office 2004 work with Lion 10.7.5

    I just upgraded my iMac with Lion and now have OS 10.7.5, and now I have a message that "You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  However, I run Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac on my PowerBook Pro--is it possible to do something to the 2004 edition to make it work with the upgrade?  Or do I have to buy a new Microsoft office program? 

    Thanks--that's what I was afraid of.
    I found the other versions of this question AFTER I posted mine--silly of me...and nice of you not to point it out.
    I will look at OpenOffice but I dislike iWork so will likely get the new Microsoft version.

  • Does Microsoft Office 2011 work under Yosemite?

    I use Microsoft Word for college.  I prefer to use Word instead of Pages.

    It is hardware dependent. I run Yosemite on a MacBook Pro (late 2008) with the latest version of Office 365 and it is fine (I still loathe Outlook). However my more recent MacBook Air is less than happy with Office 365 (I guess because it has taste) and will work OK with Word and Excel, but not with Outlook.

    does microsoft word 2010 work with spaces in osx 10.5.8?

    In order to set up and install the new AirPort Extreme:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    would it work with my older osx 10.6.8?
    Yes, if you set up the new AirPort Extreme using the guidelines above. The 10.6.8 Mac will be able to connect to the AirPort Extreme, but it will not be able to make any configuration changes.
    Only the devices listed above can be used to set up and make any changes to the new AirPort.

    Latest build (6.0.12094) works fine with Lion.  V4&5 do not work.  If you upgrade to V6 now you get a free upgrade to V7 (according to the Parallels site).  V7 is coming soon or now if you are a registered V6 user.

  • Why does microsoft office stop working after OS lion

    I just recently downloaded OS Lion 10.7.3 and now I can't use my Microsoft Office suite.  I get a error message "You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." 

    Office 2008 and 2011 both work with Lion. 
    You are likely running Office 2004 which is no longer supported on Lion.
