Does MS Word work yet with Lion?

I keep reading that after people have downloaded Lion that MS Word refuses to work - my work depends on Word running smoothly. Has anyone managed to make it work yet after installing Lion... have Microsoft released an update yet? I really want to upgrade to Lion but if I do that and Word does not run then I will be in serious trouble with the boss - need help!!
Many thanks,
Jack

The problems you have been hearing about are specific to Word 2004. Word 2004 was written for Macs that used the PowerPC processors. When Apple released the Intel machines back in 2006, they included code (Rosetta) that allowed applications designed for the older PowerPC hardware to run on the Intel machines. Rosetta was included with all OS X releases through Snow Leopard. It is not practical to support older hardware indefinately. So, Apple chose to not include Rosetta with Lion. As a result, applications written for the PPC processors will not be able to run under Lion.

Does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion

does filemaker 9 work with mountain lion?

No, I didn't find your post helpful.
I'm well aware that FileMaker does not indicate compatibility between FileMaker Pro 9 and Mountain Lion. However, in my experience, "compatibility" is a somewhat ambiguous term -- lack of compatibility doesn't mean that FM Pro 9 won't run under ML. There may indeed be some feature in FM Pro 9 that won't work properly -- but that doesn't mean that the app as a whole is, for example, unusable.
As another example, I believe that Roxio lists that Toast Titanium 9 won't run under Mountain Lion, either, but it seems to run just fine for me ;-)
Hence my question: has anyone tried?

HT1284 Does time machine work with Mountain Lion?

I had time machine set-up on my old iMac and had everything copied over to my new iMac. Time machine isn't working. I can't get it to recongize my external hard drive to back it up. Does time machine not work with mountain lion?

Have you plugged the external drive to a different USB port? Also, I would suggest you reset the PRAM. If you still have the issue after you have done all this, it may be an issue with your external drive. Try testing it on another computer.

Does ANY printer work with OSX Lion??

I have a brand new iMac and NONE of my 3 printers will work with it. Yes, I have installed the updates for the drivers. I have communicated with the tech support people for each printer (Canon, HP, and Epson) and none of them can help me. I have tried to use them wirelessly and wired, to no avail. I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled. I have tried every suggested idea on the printer websites.
I'm just wondering if there is a printer that actually does work with Lion? I love Lion; wouldn't trade it. But I have to be able to print for my business.
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Summer

Thank you for all the responses...
Actually, I do know how to add the printer; I am fairly computer literate and have installed numerous printers over the years. I did not have any trouble installing it and adding it to the preferred printer list.
It is definitely in my list of available printers and it is connected; that is not the issue. This is not a "user error" issue or the tech support people would have caught it by now... this is a distinctly Lion-printer issue, hence my original question.
The printer actually starts printing whatever I ask it to; but then it stops halfway through and the tech support people cannot figure it out. My Canon prints beautifully, is the default printer in the printer list, is connected to my Mac via USB and immediately begins printing, but then after a few lines or even after the first page printed, I get an error about communication.
This is what happens with all 3 printers when I try to print.
For those of you who responded that your printer works well with Lion, are you using the newest version OS X v10.7.1 ?
How long have you been using your printer with this version?
The Epson is the printer Apple sold/gave me when I purchased the Mac 3 weeks ago, but I have not been able to get it to work right yet. I am willing to purchase another printer if I know it will work. I am getting too far behind on my business printing...

HT1899 Does Windows XP work with Mountain Lion or not compatible?

Does Windows XP work with Bootcamp in Mountain Lion or is it not compatible?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Boot Camp 5, the version that comes with OS X Mountain Lion, is only compatible with Windows 7 and soon with Windows 8.
However, if you upgrade from an older OS X version and you have Windows XP or Windows Vista installed with Boot Camp, you can continue using it without any problem, but you won't be able to update the drivers

Does Fast Track work with Mountain Lion (10.8) ?

As title, does the Fast Track USB Audio Interface from Avid works with Mountain Lion?
Drivers for 10.8 are not still avalaible, but maybe it's working for someone with 10.7 drivers.

Hi rcraighead,
I was curious, did you do a update migration or an actual clean install of both the OSX and Illustrator?
I was also curious, have you seen any issues with 3rd party plugins running under 10.8 in Illustrator? For example I am curious about Scriptographer, etc., ?
Thanks for any feedback.

Does Alpha Conversion work in new Release(SP14-16)?

Hi guys,
we have problem with Alpha conversion:
we have an InfoObjekt, which includes an alpha conversion, but error occur with data loading in BI, when we have data value like "123", it can not be converted to "000123". Instead that, an error occurs and the data can not be loaded, we have to manuell change this value and then load...
Is this because of new release (we have this new release since Feburar 2008)?
Any hint is appriciated.
Regards,
Liying

Yes, it does work still.
Make sure that in the infosource (transfer rule), that the conversion flag is set for the infoObject.

Will iwork '08 work with new lion operating software?

I have snow leopard, but wondering if I will be able to use iwork '08 with it?
Is there an update for iwork '08 with lion to give me some of the new features, such as versions?

You have to purchase iWork '09 in order to upgrade. You can purchase each application or the entire package through the Mac App Store.
The version you have should still work with Lion.

Does iWork 08 work with Mountain Lion?

I've just moved up to Mountain Lion and was wondering if I can go on using iWork 08, especially Pages.
Will I need to purchase the latest version 09?

John,
I'm happy for you even though I now feel like even more of a schmuck. When I installed the new 09 numbers, it immediately purged the 08 version so I couldn't go back to check even if I wanted. And of course, in keeping with what has become default Apple OS behavior, there was no cautionary window announcing that Numbers '08 would be deleted, offering me a choice. The choice was made for me, because Apple Knows Best.
I'll probably always own, and love, a mac; I've done so since the 80's. But my love has matured. I'm waiting on a new $249 chromebook, which should arrive tomorrow. It's my first non-mac machine since my old osborne, since my SE-30. I now own a rooted nook tablet and a galaxy phone, not an iphone or an ipad. I'm as excited as a schoolboy about unwrapping my slim new chromebook.
Jobs, in his final days at Apple, became interested in corporate architecture –– he began to focus on how companies could fit together instead of how products and people fit together. Not that I wouldn't have done the same thing, given the power and the ability. It seems a natural evolution, to manipulate big chunks of society rather than mere individuals. But it's the Joni Mitchell syndrome. When he was hungry and aching, he was Everyman great. Once he knew he was great, he became self-indulgent. It's all still great work –– it's just not great work I have a passion for. I am, after all, still just an individual.
I approache Everything Apple with suspicion and trepidation now, from the new un-openable macbook pros and imacs to the software that controls my digital universe. Apple is about control. I still like freedom when I create. This little episode simply widens the gap between me and the love of my youth.

Does Apple TV work with new iPad?

Does it? Looks like a good buy. Also does it include hdmi cable???

Yes, it does work with the new iPad. I find APPLE TV to be a great investment. Unfortunately, it does not come with an HDMI cable. You can buy one for cheap though. I think Apple sells one. AirPlay is great!

Does 'menu' button work with new 2G Nano?

I have a new 2G Nano and a new HiFi. The Nano has been updated and so has iTunes to the latest firmware/software versions.
The 'Menu' button has never worked on the remote. The Hi-Fi flashes orange when it is pressed. All other functions work fine, just the menu button does not work on the remote.
Does the menu button work with the 2G new Nano?
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Jayne

Note: The Menu button on the remote does not perform the same function as pressing the Menu button on the iPod. The Menu button on the Remote changes playback between the iPod and an audio device connected to the audio input port. Because the remote does not have a wheel or a select button, you cannot use the remote to navigate the menus or skip to a different playlist on iPod. You must use the iPod's controls to navigate the menus or choose another playlist.

How does syncing Notes work with Mountain Lion ?

How does syncing Notes with Mountain Lion?

Notes are synched via IMAP. IMAP is a protocol most frequently used by email.
So if you have an iCloud account and have set up a @me.com email address, that's what is used to sync. For Gmail, that can be used as well, though Gmail's IMAP support has to be enabled on their site and their implementation is very nonstandard and can be problematic. Best is to sync notes via iCloud.
