G5 with Panther (10.3.9) but I need to install Microsoft Office 2008!

I'm working in a office where I use a G5 with Panther (10.3.9). I'm wanting to install Microsoft Office 2008 on this computer, however, it requires 10.4.9 or later, which I guess would mean an upgrade to Tiger? Anyone know a way to bypass this install, someone suggested possibly installing in Classic? Any help is greatly appreciated!

The minimum requirements won't allow you to install Office 2008 on anything less that what it states. That's normally due to changes in later versions of the OS, or newer features that don't exist in older OS versions that the program relies on to run.

Should I have installed Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit with Ex 2013 SP1?

I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012R2 server, and all went well (I am at early stages of migration).
Following the pre-reqs listed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#WS2012
I installed Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit only.
Since then I have seen other articles suggesting that I install:
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit
Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit
Given I didn't notice any errors in the install, do I need to install those filter packs or is that outdated advice?
regards
Roga

Thanks for taking the time to post Ed
I did a bit more research and it appears that there is more than one view on this.
E.G. this blog
Why Exchange 2013 doesn’t need the Microsoft Office Filter Pack says:
"Exchange 2013 swaps MSSearch for the Search Foundation, a component shared with SharePoint 2013. The Search Foundation has no need of the Office Filter Pack because it includes its own filters. Unfortunately, until SP1 came along,
the Exchange 2013 Setup program overlooked this fact and stated that the Office Filter Pack was a prerequisite. Setup would install if the Office Filter Pack was missing, but who’s going to ignore a warning issued by Setup. In any case, that warning seems
to have finally been suppressed."
This blog
Planning and migrating a small organization from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (Part 10) has:
"After choosing the relevant setting needed to begin installation, the Exchange 2013 setup program will now perform readiness checks. Assuming these complete successfully, we'll expect to see just one warning.
This warning relates to the lack of the Office 2010 Filter Packs, which are not required for installation, and are only required to create Transport Rules for OneNote or Publisher files"
And this one
Exchange Server 2013 FAQ: Is the Office Filter Pack Required?
"The Exchange 2013 pre-requisites page on
TechNet, at the time of this writing, does include the Office Filter Packs as a step in the preparation of a server for Exchange 2013. What it doesn’t make clear is that they are not required.
The new Exchange Search already has support for indexing/searching Office file types, as well as a series of other file types including some third party formats such as PDF. You can see a full list
here.
So should you install the Office Filter Pack? If you want to stop seeing that warning message, then yes. If you want to take the approach of only installing required software on your servers, then no. Consider also that installing it means potentially having
to update it later on if there is a bug fix or a security issue."
The final para above is the approach that I have now taken, but if someone can give me a good reason to install office 2010 filter packs on Ex 2013 sp1 I'll revise my view

Is Microsoft Office 2008 compatible with OS X Yosemite?

Is Microsoft Office 2008 compatible with OS X Yosemite? My Word, Excel and PowerPoint files won't open since updating my OS.

Your Office installation sounds corrupted. I would reinstall Office, but you must first do a complete removal of it. I did not write this note, but it should apply to Office 2008. You will just need to locate the version equivalents at the MS site. You might also check inside the Office 2008 folder for an uninstaller.
Your MS Office 2011 may have become corrupted. Reinstalling Office 2011 can address problems that you may be experiencing.
First - find your Office 2011 install disc with the product key # - and only then remove Office according to MS instructions
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768.
Or go here to DianefromOregon's site for help removing Office 2011: http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/.
Then Reinstall from DVD
Then enter your Product #
After successfully reinstalling Office 2011, update your Office product using the Software update within Office called Microsoft Update or going to the Help menu within Word or Excel or PowerPoint and select Update.
It may take a few times before you get to final upgrade to current Office version.
It should be 14.4.8 as of current date.
How to locate product keys: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2279109 or here on locating product keys http://office.about.com/od/MicrosoftOfficeMac/a/Best-3-Ways-To-Find-Microsoft-Of fice-For-Mac-Key-Codes.htm.
Note is updated as of February 25, 2015
Or you can do all of this manually:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Problems with installation of Microsoft Office 2008

Trying to install Microsoft Office on my MacBook has completely messed things up: When I tried to install updates, the installer froze while trying to install SP1 Update. I restarted the computer and it now has a black bar on the right and left side of the screen. I can move things, so they're behind the black bars, but everything else seems to be 'squeezed', so e.g. the apple logo is still withing the visible screen. I've tried removing Office and installing it again - once again it freezes while attempting to update.
Office works fine, but the bars are pretty annoying!

Since you are asking about a Microsoft product, why don't you ask your question on the Microsoft forum?

I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible

Ok guys I am new to the iphone 4s. I just dumped my Blackberry after 10 years. I need help integrating Microsoft Office, Outlook and Calendar with my job and is it possible? Also I need it to automatically push email and appointments to my phone? I will buy any app just need to know which is best for work environment. Here is what I am thinking about doing. http://www.groovypost.com/howto/apple/sync-iphone-or-ipod-touch-calendar-and-con tacts-with-google/ Is this the best way? For personal use I am using paid G whiz app

I use Google Calendar Sync to sync my work Outlook calendar to a gmail account, then sync that to my iPhone. It works well for me for the past couple of years.
As far as mail itself, just ask your it folks for settings for remote access to your exchange account, and then set it up on the phone.
As far as working with Office docs, to be able to actually edit them and such, look in the app store for DocsToGo or QuickOffice - they both are good but each has it's pros and cons, so on balance it's down to mere preference i think.

You can hook up an USB drive formatted as FAT32 or NTFS(read-only), but it can't read exFAT drives or boot Windows from an USB drive.

Do you memeber the complete wording of the error message?
Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Microsoft Office 2008 Won't Open With OS X 10.9.4

I updated to 'Mavericks' about a month ago, had no issue whatsoever. I have been using Microsoft Office 2008 daily, a few times a day with no issues. This morning I tried to open it and it will not open, nor will 'Excell' or 'Power Point'. 'Entourage' opens fine. I keep getting an error notice "Mircrosoft Error Reporting" Any ideas how I can fix this? Thank you in advance.

Is anybody going to get back to me? I have done everything from run my fontbook to try lunching it through spotlight. Then I went into my terminal and re-entered the sudo code - then when that did not work, I removed the program and reinstalled it - to no avail. None of the links below help. So if someone can correspond directly with information, that would help.

HT1338 microsoft office 2008 is not working with Lion

My Microsoft office 2008 is not working, it gives me a message that this program is in use in another computer on my network.
Is there any way to fix this issue?

That is the copy protection scheme that Microsoft employs. Each Office program sends out it's license code to your network. When you start an Office program, it looks for other Office programs with same code operating and prevents you from using it.
