HT3258 Will Word and Excel still work if I upgrade to Mount, Lion
If I upgrade to M. Lion, will the Word and Excel programs I have on my Mac still work?
Thanx - M
It depends on which version you have. If they are very old PowerPC only programs - over six years old or so - they will not run.
A better solution is to try a number of better, free alternatives. Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
I use Apple's Pages ($19.99) as well as OpenOffice and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

On my 2008 MacBook I am running 10.6.8 with Microsoft Office 10.1. Will this version of Office work if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?
No! Even Office 2004 will not run under Lion and newer. You can check out http://www.libreoffice.org/ and iWorks applications to replace Office.
Check your applications for Mavericks compatibility here: http://roaringapps.com/
Note: a new version of Office for Mac is expected later this year or early next year. Buying Office 2011 now is buying old software. There will be no credits for older versions. The next version of Office will be subscription. This is the best option I know currently for subscription. This includes a free update to the new version when it's released.

Spell check for microsoft word and excel not working?
Hi all,
I seem to have a problem of spell check for micrsoft word / excel not working. It all stemed with me deleting microsoft office from my computer, after thinking it was playing havoc on my system, (making it slower and sending a strange attachment with some emails) but after one week I relaised i needed it, i tried loading it again, but now the spell check doesnt seem to work?
also if any one can tell me, regarding my strange attachment. i was told today that "ATT00034" is sent because it contains font information that is not supported to the people i send it to? im not sure?
thanks to allSince Office is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. -
K9N2 Diamond dual SLI--will PCI_E1 and PCI_E4 still work?
I've got a K9N2 Diamond mobo. Two things: If I SLI two MSI N280GTXs in PCI_E2 and PCI_E3, will the remaining two PCIe slots still work? If so, do you think there will be room to leave my SCSI card in PCI_E1? The reason I ask about PCI_E4 is that the manual says, "If you intend to install two expansion cards...these three PCIe x16 lanes will configure to x16/ x16/ x0." That looks to me like the third one will be dead. Thanks.
P.S.--Sorry if I seemed a little harsh last time I was in here. I was trying to be funny and seem annoyed at the same time. And no fair changing your sig so it looks like I was calling you a moron for no reason. I gave up on running RAID and booting SCSI.
P.P.S.--I don't use smileys.Hybrid SLI, read the mainboard manual if need to apply properly BIOS options.
Also read guides:

Will Microsoft Office (Word and Excel) work on OS 10.9.2 aka Mavericks?
Did you restart after updating?
Have you tested in a new User to see if you have the same problems?
If you want to do a complete removal and re-install see:
Office for Mac 2011: Remove Office
http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
Did you delete duplicate fonts installed by Office 2011? This is often a source for crashes.

I have Microsoft Office 2008 and only use Word and Excel. It takes 980 mb. I am considering replacing it with Apple iWorks 2013. If I do, can I delete Office, and still access and modify my Word and Excel documents?
I have a MacBook Air and OS 10.9.4Ron
Just adding to what CSound has said.
Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

If I change to a IMAC will I be able to upload all my photos and word and excel documents? Also does it have USB ports like I have already used?
Is there a DVD player on IMACS? It is scary making the move until I am sure I can use everything I already have. I also have NEAT for all my recepits also.When the new Mac first starts up, you get the opportunity to migrate your files from another computer, including a PC. This link tells you how to do it from Windows.
As for the iMac's features, you can look through this website to get all the details.
It is possible to install Windows on a Mac and run your Windows applications within it. It's also possible to use programs that are for the Mac which can work with most MS Office files. One good example is LibreOffice.

How do I stop the download of Maverick on my MacBookPro? I started downloading then discovered that 2008 Word and Excel do not work with Maverick. I have too many files in the 2008 version to upgrade them at this time. I just need instructions in non technical terms to stop the Maverick download.
I did the same as Tapmr and have paused the "upgrade". So am I to understand that the upgrade only downloads and will not automatically install it? I am an extreme novice here, and cannot afford any issues after I upgrade/download. I don't know how to make a clone copy as you suggested either.
I need assurance that if the upgrade is allowed to continue that I will be able to delete the upgrade downloaded and continue on as before with my regular system. -

If i upgrade to maverick will i lose my microsoft word and excel for apple
If I upgrade to maverick will I lose my installed Office Word and Excel for Mac
You shouldn't, but it would be a really good idea to make a clone of your existing installation using Carbon Copy Cloner before upgrading. That way if you have any issues with Mavericks it's very easy to go back. Without the clone it's a lot more difficult.
