  • 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

  • Is MircoSoft Office 2008 compatible with Lion OS?

    I have a Mac Mini and want to download an inexpensive MicroSoft 2008 software program, that I am told is more user friendly than the 2011 version. My question before I buy, is iwll it be compatible with teh Mac Mini and the new Lion OS?"

    Microsoft Office 2008 has been replaced by Microsoft Office 2011.
    "User friendly" is relative.  Entourage in Office 2008 IMHO crashed a lot and many people reported data corruption.  Entourage is replaced by Outlook 2011.  It is closer to the Windows version of Outlook, although both are still not as feature rich as the Windows version of Outlook.
    IMHO, get Office 2011.  There are a few pieces of Office 2008 that do not work with Lion, although most people do not use those pieces.  If you already had Office 2008, then I'd tell you to just install it.  But since you're going to have to purchase, better to get Office 2011.

  • Mac Office 2008 Assistant Help

    hey guys.
    i just got Mac Office 2008 for my macbook and was disappointed to see the "office assistant" which often came in the form of a paper clip but could also be a ball, a magician or robot, etc. was gone.
    i looked it up and saw that they stopped putting it in for the 2007 version..
    my question is, has anyone found an alternative or something?
    i really loved having a little interactive assistant like that
    thanks

    trying to veiw videos from a website that requires me to download firefox and silverlight.My imac osx 10.5.8 will now download firefox. firfx tells me my mac is not compatible with ffox Please help me ?  Thank you

    There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
    TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
    Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
    Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
    Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
    PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
    TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
    the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
    and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
    the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
    and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
    stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
    -ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
    For more information, visit:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
    http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
    But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

  • All apps in Office 2008 Crash with Snow Leopard.

    All apps in Office 2008 Crash with Snow Leopard. This is the only problem I am having since the upgrade. How can this be fixed?

    Hello,
    you don't write what kind of crash you are facing. The one I met was that after launching any of office programs it hanged on splash window, telling "Optimizing menu font performace".
    I found a problem in FontBook - a lot of fonts had a yellow warning triangle there. When I clicked "Resolve duplicates", almost all my fonts were moved to trash (and Office started OK). I believe the updates I made from Tiger, to Leopard to Snow Leopard, mixed with installation of MS Office fonts made this mess.
    I took the whole /Library/Fonts folder from another computer and replaced my broken Fonts folder on this computer. Reboot and all works fine.

  • Is Microsoft Office 2011 compatible with OS X Lion?

    I'm debating whether or not to buy the OS X Lion, and it all depends on if Microsoft Office is compatible with it. Has anyone ever had problems using the Microsoft Office with the new OS X Lion software?

    I have had no problem using Office 2011 since upgrading to OS X Lion, but I am unable to install any Office 2011 updates. I have spent a lot of time searching for the solution at both Apple and Microsoft, but so far cannot find one.

  • I am puzzled by iMac(Intel ?).  I am running an iMac 24 and use Mac:Office 2008.  After having downloaded my Os X LION upgrade, I am suddenly unable to SAVE (and thus alter) my Excel quotations.  This is a major issue for a salesman.  Can anybody help me

    I am puzzled by the meaning of iMac (Intel) as I use an iMac 2 period.  I am running Mac : Office 2004 and do all my quotations in Excel.  After upgrading to OS X LION,  I am suddenly unable to SAVE my spreadsheets.  As a salesman whose quotations need frequent updating,  my situation is perilous to say the least.  Can anyone help me ?

    Office for Mac 2004 is NOT compatible with Lion. It must be upgraded to Office for Mac 2008 or 2011, once you have upgraded the files will be accessable. Office for Mac 2004 is written for old PPC (Power PC) based machines. Beginning with Lion support for PPC based apps has been dropped.

  • Mac office 2008......

    Hey all,
    i'm just about to buy office 2004 for my macbook...can anyone explain what the difference with the office 2008 that was announced today??i basically just need it for word(writing essays) and powerpoint(class presentations)but at the same time i dont want to buy something thats obsolete...
    regards,
    Paul.

    Depends on what you are using NOW for an office suite, depending on if you are using one. How much longer can you go without Mac Office?
    Office 2004 on the MacBook runs very well on my MacBook and I'm not lacking in any features. I use Entourage, PowerPoint, and Excel on nearly a daily basis. With what all I do, it is difficult to believe this is a product crafted in 2004. As it is, even now, the 2004 version of Mac Office is quite elegant.
    I would dig around for discounts on Office 2004. Look for upgrade advertisements: "GET 2004 MAC OFFICE, RECEIVE OFFICE 2008 FOR X PERCENT OFF." That sort of thing. This will start showing up as the year progresses.

  • 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.
