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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Dear Rajesh,
    Create a policy in your fire wall to allow the port to send and receive data.
    I believe the port for the mobile should be port 8080 and 8443.
    And your license server port 30000 and 30001

  • How to make "visa find resource" working with Agilent device

    I am trying to use Agilent 82357B GPIB device with LabVIEW for instrument control.
    I have checked:
    1.       NI-VISA (ver 5.1.1) is the primary visa by checking visa.dll properties under windows\system32 folder
    2.       Enable NIVISATulip.dll in NI Max Explorer
    3.       Enable the Agilent libraries to work with NI 488.2 in Agilent IO library (ver 16).
    I am able to communicate with the instrument in Max Explorer and talk to the instrument in LabVIEW with VISA write for almost all commands.
    But I can NOT make one particular visa function (Visa find resource) working with Agilent 82357B GPIB.
    With NI USB GPIB device, the same code above can find attached instruments as below, where GPIB1 is the Agilent device and GPIB0 is the NI device.
    I have no clue on how to make “visa find resource” working with Agilent device.
    Please help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Quick question.  Did you also enable 488 support in Agilent? 
    If that does'not work try this.  and well see if you found a bug

  • Is Microsoft Office 2004 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I am just about to buy a new MacBook Pro and would like to transfer the Microsoft Office 2004 programme & all my Word/powerPoint/Excel files from my old MacBook (OS 10.4.11). One local vendor tells me MS2004 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and I have to spend c$250 to buy the Office 2008 version. Another says they are compatible and I can easily transfer. It is important to me as I need to use the Office for my work.
    1.Which is correct?
    2. And are there an significant advantages to the new 2008 Office version which would encourage me to upgrade and spend $250?

    Hi a:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I have been running Microsoft Office 2004 for quite awhile. On my system, it runs just fine. I use both Word and Excel and it does read PowerPoint presentations.
    I have read the posts on the Apple Store part of this site and have shied away from Office 2008 because of some negative feedback. Functionally, I could not see any difference from the written material. Since Office 2004 was working just fine, I did not buy the 2008 product.

  • An Idea: How to make the Magic Timeline work with Tracks

    i have thought about this for a title and i think i have found a solution. the magic timeline is pretty cool but with it we lost tracks. for broadcast (not only for that but mostly for it) you need tracks that are assignt in a special way and there is no way around it. so i came up with the following idea…
    to make the magic timeline work with tracks it will be a like an audio compound clip, that will give you full access to the magic time. but it can be outputted to proper tracks assignment.
    current audio compound clips don't show you the video if there is one. this one will. also audio can be tagged to a track so it will automatically drop into the right track. you can of course move the audio from one track to another. moving the clip to another track will auto change the tag to new track. if you copy an audio clip from one track to another, the original clip will keep its tag but the copied one gets the new tag.
    example…
    you do a voice over with all your edits and stuff. then you collapse it to a track (new name to get rid of any sort of confusion). you can tag/name the track to "voice over" or whatever you want and color label it.
    you need to edit, adjust it? no problem! double click it and it will open up and you'll see the magic timeline. edit till you done and click on arrow to return to track view.
    export your movie with proper tracks for broadcast right out of final cut pro x
    in the end your output timeline looks like a timeline from fcp7 before you output it on tape.
    could this work? i believe it could and it would help to make fcpx ready for broadcast.
    i hope this makes some sort of sense to you
    anyway, i hope apple will include this or something like this in an update for fcpx.

    You may be able to get by with just running MDT 2010 for now. *However* you *must* ensure that you are running WinPE 3.1 or greater, If you are unsure, open up a command prompt in WinPE (PRess F8), and run "ver" it should say build 7601 or greater, 7600
    and less is not compatible.
    When done, Run the Dell Advanced Format tool in the Full OS on a deployed machine to verify:  http://del.ly/afhdd  Although it is possible to install an OS on an Advanced Format Drive
    with WInPE 3.0 or earlier, and it may *appear* to work, performance may suffer. The Dell AF tool should tell you if the sectors are aligned properly.
    Additionally, it is also possible that the storage driver you have installed in your image is incompatible with AF drives. Check the Make/Model and check with the Hardware Mfg to see if they have driver that supports AF drives.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 Crashing with Leopard on Power Mac G5

    I'm running Leopard 10.5.1 on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) Dual 2.3 GHz. I have Microsoft Office 2004 installed and it keeps crashing. And I have installed all of the available updates for Leopard and Office 2004. Is anyone else having this problem? Office 2004 is now essentially unusable because it often crashes during save or exit.

    We have a similar problem.
    10.5.2 Server, 10.5.2 Client, MS Office 2004 (All latest patches)
    Its an intermittent problem that freezes MS Office when navigating through the "Save" Finder. It only appears to occur when trying to navigate through server folders and only affects MS office, all other apps are fine.
