Is it possible to get microsoft office on an older iMac with powerpc?

My girlfriends father recently purchased an older imac g5 ppc and is wondering if theres a way to get microsoft office on it? The version i have only works with the new intel processors.

The latest version available to run on PPC machines is Office 2008. Either look for it on the Microsoft web page, or in eBay.

"Could you explain where you think you have to pay something?"
I signed up for the site and posted a question their response was that they had an answer and they required credit card imformation.
"If your problem is to read existing Excel files, then I am very surprised that OpenOffice would not open them. If you could send me one or provide a url I could see what the problem is (tom at bluesky dot org)."
I can down load the files just fine and they open. the numbers in the documents will display but text will not what I get is this : "__________" where there should be text.
Try this site and download the the Doc (rar). it will open on my computer as an excel file but there will be no text just "__________" Open office will not open this file, but excel will.

Buy and install Office 2008 or 2011 if you're running Lion, or either 2004 or 2008 if you're actually using a PowerPC Mac and not an Intel one.

How do I get microsoft office on my macbook pro?

What do you get microsoft office on my macbook?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft has got an Office version for Mac, that you can get from its site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Also, there are other productivity suites:
1. iWork. It's the Apple's productivity suite and it includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You can purchase it at the Mac App Store.
2. LibreOffice. It's free and open-source, so you should try it first > http://www.libreoffice.org

Is it possible to get MS Office free for mac?

It is possible to get MS Office free for Mac?

Not legally. And in all honesty, people take a pretty dim view on this forum of those that want something for nothing. Not judging, just saying.
If you want a free production suite (similar to Office, that opens .docx and .xlsx files, etc) then take a look at Openoffice, which is an open-source solution.

How can I get microsoft office on a Macbook Air?

Hey everyone, I'm still making the dission between whatt mac to buy but if i bought the macbook air how will i be able to get micrOsoft office on it since it dosen't have a SuperDrive? Thanks ;)

MS seels keys online, then you download.
Or if you have another Mac with a SuperDrive you can use "Target Mode" (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1443.html).

Should I get Microsoft office for my new MBP?

I ordered my MPB 13" online and added iWork. It was much cheaper than Microsoft Office and looked nice and fancy Should I get Microsoft Office too? I had it on my old laptop (not a mac).
I'm a university student so I am unsure if iWork will be as compatable with lecture ppts and notes etc.
Any suggestions?

It may depend on what your major is, but iwork should be an excellent program for your use at college. I've used both Microsoft office and iWork for years. iWork is much more intuitive than MS office and is less $. You can save documents from iWork in MS office format. I've heard there are some advanced features in MS office that iWork doesn't have, but I've never needed them in my professional use.
You might try iWork and see how it works and if you need to get MS office in the future it's pretty inexpensive since you are a student.
Good luck.

Is there anyway i can get Microsoft Office on this MacBook Pro i just purchased? 13.3" MB PRO/2.6/8GB/256FLASH/IRIS/RTN

is there anyway i can get Microsoft Office on this MacBook Pro i just purchased? 13.3" MB PRO/2.6/8GB/256FLASH/IRIS/RTN

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question -- but the usual way would be to buy and download either directly from Microsoft or a Microsoft retailer. http://www.microsoft.com/mac
One thing to consider is that it looks likely that Microsoft will finally update Office for Mac 2011 sometime next year. That may make the Office 365 option where you pay by the month/year something to consider (if you wouldn't otherwise) at least until the update is issued.
Another option is http://www.libreoffice.org which is free, very capable, and quite compatible with Microsoft Office files. It's not perfect but it's good and may do the job depending on your needs.

How can I get Microsoft office onto my Macbook Air?

I need to use Microsoft office instead of Pages and Keynote because they are not compatible with my teacher's files. However my macbook air does not have the cd/dvd slot so how could I get Microsoft office onto my macbook? Help is appreciated! I really need it for my classes!!!!

You have a couple of options.
1) Buy a external DVD drive that connects by USB port. Any brand will work on your Mac. It doesn't have to have the Apple name on it for it to work. Most cost around $30.
2) If you have the office DVD take it to a Mac that has a DVD drive and copy the DVD contents to a USB thumb drive then install from that thumb drive.
3) Fine the DMG download of the office version you have.
Note that only Office 2008 and the newest 2011 will work on a Mac running Lion or Mt Lion. The older 2004 version won't install on newer Mac computers.

"Microsoft Office has encountered a problem with licensing and will need to close. If this problem persists, uninstall and reinstall your product."

Hi Guys!I am not it pro. but i need your HELP.Pls my microsoft Word and Excel starter were working fine, but after playing with my laptop, downloading , removing smth , i cannot open them proper anymore, cos this message comes up:
“Microsoft Office has encountered a problem with licensing and will need to close. If this problem persists, uninstall and reinstall your product.”What can i do to make it work fine back? plssss need Help! thank u i n advance!!!!!!

I faced similar challenge. Re-installation did not solve the problem due to unsuccessful un-installation of ‘Microsoft Click to run 2010’. The following steps worked for me. Please use your discretion to try and see if it works for you too..
1 Uninstall Microsoft office Starter 2010. If
‘MS click to run 2010’ doesn't get uninstalled use Microsoft fix it tool meant for installing and uninstalling programmes, to uninstall the same.
2 Download ‘Microsoft Office Starter 2010’ from internet.
3 Before launching, right click the executable file and click the 'properties'. Go to
‘compatability’ tab and choose appropriate 'compatibility mode' as per your OS. Tick the check box to use admin privilege under
privilege level section.
4 Launch the executable to install Microsoft Office Starter 2010 afresh. It should go through four steps during installation now. Complete the steps and enjoy. Thanks !

TS3991 Does one have to have the latest version of iWork in order to access and sync Microsoft Office documents like I did with MobileMe?

Hey there RMBrizzolara,
It sounds like you have downloaded iTunes from the download site, but when you connect the phone to your computer you are prompted to update iTunes to 11.1. I would start by opening iTunes and then verifying the version that is running with this article:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1208
On Windows
Open iTunes.
On the Help menu, click About iTunes. A window appears with scrolling text. The first text that appears displays the iTunes version (press the Space bar to freeze the text if it's moving too fast for you to read).
Also when you download the iTunes installer, you MUST double click the file that was downloaded to install it.
You can check in your Programs folder and try running the iTunes application from there to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sterling

Is it possible to get my email folders from my iMac mail tool up to my icloud account?

Is it possible to get my email folders from my iMac mail tool up to my icloud account?
I would like to access my mail tool folders while I am traveling overseas with my ipad.
Alternately, is it possible to get my mail tool folders onto my ipad?
imac: Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
mail tool: Version 5.3

Your iCloud cannot access other accounts. You can set up the Mail app on your iPad to access other accounts just the same as on your Mac - the only issue might be with the ISP who provides your internet connection, as some services require you to be actually connected to them to send, and possibly even to receive though that would be more unusal.
If any of your other accounts provide webmail you could use that.
Otherwise you could set up forwarding on the other accounts so that messages are sent on to your iCloud account (I should set it to leave a copy on the original server) - however you cannot send using anything other than your iCloud email address as the 'From' address using iCloud outgoing server.
As to existing messages, if the account is IMAP then the messages can be accessed from any device that signs into the account; if the account is POP then received messages live on your Mac. You can copy them up to iCloud in the Mail application on your Mac by creating a new folder or folders on iCloud and then dragging the messages to these folders - hold the option key down to retain the messages on your Mac and duplicate them to iCloud. Move messages, not folders, and don't try to move a huge amount at a time. Remember that they will take up space on your iCloud account.

HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

Is it possible to activate Microsoft Office 2010 with the answer file?

Hello
I'm not sure if this is possible but I have a volume product Key for Microsoft Office 2010 and I am currently working on an image that would activate Office 2010. Is that possible and how would I put that in the answer file? Everything I see on product key
activation just goes to activating for Operating systems on the image. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, it's completely possible, but there are some specific steps you must perform, to avoid issues in the deployed computers.
This is because the Windows sysprep providers don't include a provider for Office (which means that Office doesn't get generalized by sysprep).
You must also take care *not* to execute any Office applications/components *after* running ospprearm.exe (because that will cause the Office components to indivuate, which un-does the effects of ospprearm.exe)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178964(v=office.14).aspx
Preparing the reference computer
To prepare the reference computer for imaging, follow these steps:
•Install Windows 7 Enterprise Volume Licensed version from DVD media.
•Enable the local Administrator account.
•Delete the temporary user account and profile.
•Install Office Professional Plus 2010 from the network installation point.
•Rearm the Office Professional Plus 2010 installation.
•Generalize the installation.
Also, some people find it useful to insert a specific Office activation command as a last step in the deployment. This is because Office setup will by itself only attempt automatic activation one time and will not retry. This can lead to unactivated installations,
warnings to the user, and helpdesk calls to you.e.g.:
'cscript.exe "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\ospp.vbs" /act'
This is not really an issue if you are using KMS, it's more of an issue when using MAK.

How do I get Microsoft Office unto my new MacBook Air?

I recently purchased a new MacBook Air to be able to complete my online courses, and soon after I noticed that I don't have Microsoft Office pre-installed. Is that standard that Mac computers don't have Microsoft Office already installed? How can I get MS without having to pay an exuberant amount for a new license?

yes it is normal, mac computers don't come with MS office on them
unfortunately the only (legal) way of acquiring microsoft office is to buy a license - as a student you might be entitled to discounts depending on your country (in the UK we have http://www.software4students.co.uk)
there are alternatives - Pages/Numbers/Keynote are the Apple equivalent of Word, ExCel and PowerPoint respectively. office documents can be opened using these apps too. i hear complaints from people who need certain features only available in MS office but for the average user the Apple versions are brilliant
then there's the free openoffice, etc, if you were looking for something along those lines
