Does Office 2008 works on Lion?

Does Office 2008 run on Lion?

If your using Mac's in a mission critical type environment or have third party hardware or software you must rely upon working correctly. It's advised to wait until all the bugs, driver updates, third party software updates and other issues are resolved before upgrading. This might take several months. Then if you do so, do one machine at a time and carefully test everything before full deployment.

Does entourage 2008 work with lion?

Does Entourage 2008 work with Lion? I have heard conflicting reports...
Thanks

Since En'rage does so many things the conflicting reports probably have to do with whether the program is being used just for mail, just for the calendar, or for both. For what its worth, I'm not happy with the 2011 version's performance in Lion. I've gone back to Mail and began using BusyCal

Will MS Office 2008 work with Lion?

I purchased Lion but cancelled the download when I read that people were having trouble running MS office programs on the operating system. Does anyone know how well MS office 2008 applications run, if at all, on Lion? Thanks!

I have two friends who say for sure 2011 works.
2008 apparently is being told not supported.
did you do a clean install or just an upgrade on the os?
when using 3rd party apps it is important to back up all your work, and do a clean install of the os, wiping everything, then reinstalling the apps.
there is a trick to doing a clean install. You can find the instructions in this thread. WHY apple has made it literally IMPOSSIBLE for average mac users to easily choose the option of a clean install with Lion is a mystery to me. With Lion Apple remotely has control of your operating system. They can change and update anything on it that they see fit without your knowing they even did.

Does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

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.

Yes. 2004 won't, because it's a PPC app, but 2008 should work OK.

Does VMWare Fusion work with Lion

Does VMWare Fusion work with Lion?

After upgrading to Lion, I was experiencing significant problems with my MacBook Pro waking from sleep. It would present me with the screen asking for my password and as soon as I typed into the field the screen would blank. Almost like a badly done game.
In an effort to address this, I re-installed VMWare Fusion. The problem has not presented itself since, and it was happening on almost every wake-from-sleep.
Take this as what it is -- a one-time anecdotal report. But if you're experiencing issues after upgrading to Lion and you have Fusion, try just re-installing Fusion. It doesn't take long and it doesn't impact your VMs (I'd shut them down before the re-install, but that's probably not a requirement).

When i upgrade to Lion will my office 2008 work?

I want to upgrade my Mac to Lion and Apple support is telling me that my MS Office 2008 may not work and/or I need a patch from Microsoft. I then talk to Microsoft and they say there is not an issue with MS Office 2008 when upgrading to Lion. Who do I believe? Will all my data files and entourage data remain intact when I upgrade to Lion?

Office maintains a central datafile in your /Home/Documents/ folder. Each new version of Office simply imports that file. So all your Office data such as mail should remain intact after you upgrade. Here's how to make a bootable backup:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.

Apple, now loosing old supporters and customers ? Or am I getting too old ?
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

How can I make Office 2003 work with Lion?

Just made the switch to Lion only to find that Office 2003 was incompatible with the new OS. Any way to work around this or do I just need to upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011?

As Shawn said, if your copy of Office is a PC version, it won't work under Lion. You could try Virtual Box to run Windows on your Mac, or create a Windows boot partition.
If that's some old version of Office for Mac, then it won't run under Lion. This is because Lion does not include, and cannot run, Rosetta, which is the code converter which allowed old PPC-based Mac software to run on Intel-based Macs.
I second the notion of getting Pages. It's not expensive, it's easy to buy and install at the Mac App Store, and it works really well. It will read all of your Word files. Ditto for Numbers and Keynote.
You could also take a look at OpenOffice or NeoOffice. Both are free (the latest version of NeoOffice requires a $10 or higher donation, but the next-to-last version works fine and does not require a donation) and work well.

Can't uninstall Office 2008 on Mountain Lion

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and put my account on it, from Time Machine, from my previous MacBook. This included Office 2008 which I then had to reinstall in order to update the licence code (my wife has the old MacBook, so we couldn't both use Office simultaneously). Then I upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. However it now won't install any Office updates - I get the message:
"You cannot install Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.1.0 Update on this volume. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."
I have tried every workaround suggested - and there are a few - including the one where you edit the package_update file. No success at all.
The simplest workaround ought to be to uninstall Office altogether and do a clean re-install. But here's the thing: I can't uninstall, neither by dragging it to the trash, nor by using Remove Office. Each time I try, I get this message:
"The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again."
There are 1382 files to delete, so I'm not going to check each one using Get Info. I've used Disk Utility to repair permissions - no joy.
Can someone help me uninstall

OK, I finally solved it myself - though this may not work for everyone. My wife's MacBook was still running Lion and was able to install all the Office 2008 updates. So I copied the updated version across. I then had to re-register it with my own code.
Simple, in a way. But why did it have to be so hard in the first place? I still don't understand why I couldn't uninstall Office.
Probably something that can be addressed by the developers on MS Office on their Troubleshoting forums, perhaps.
