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.

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 Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

Is Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 [Word, Excel, Powerpoint] compatible with Yosemite?

I'm using Excel, Word and Outlook for Mac 2011 in Yosemite without any issues. I can't speak for Powerpoint, as I've never opened it. I'm not a power user in Office, so I doubt I've really exercised it. But so far, Word editing and some simple Excel spreadsheets I use for inventory tracking have worked with no problem.

Lost program icons Microsoft word 2008 and Microsoft excel 2008

Hi I accidently turned Microsoft excel 2008 and microsoft word 2008 into wads of trash that disappeared when I accidnetly clicked the icons and moved them from the dock into the internet box. I talked to one person already but can't seem to get back to them and he suggested that I use MIcrosoft Office 2008 but hte problem is is that I don't have it anymore because I deleted the program from my computer a few days ago (yesterday or the day before) I had originally bought hte program from Best Buy and downloaded it from a disc but I can't find the disc anymore. Do you know what I can do to recover the programs I checked the applications, office (of course, and word and excel 2008 aren't there and they aren't in the trash I checked there too. I thought that it might be on my back-up time machine? And I also couldn't go to undo to change what happened. Thank you.

Things just don't disappear. If you didn't put them in the trash, they must be there somewhere. Click the magnifying glass at the top right side of your screen and search for Microsoft Office and see if you can locate the folder. Also, I'm wondering if you actually installed office or if you were just running it from the downloaded .dmg file? When doing the search, keep an eye open for a Microsoft Office 2008 DMG file.

Will excel 2008 work with Lion?

will excel 2008 work with Lion?

Yes. 2004 won't, because it's a PPC app, but 2008 should work OK.

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.

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.

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.

Migrating from a real scalable OS like AIX or any other flavor of Unix, like Linux to a non-scalable OS like Windows 2008 can not be recommended.
If you do this only for cost reasons, you should reconsider.
My guess is this is some managerial directive.I agree with you that any flavour of *nix is better than Windows, but the reality is that there might be situations where a Windows-platform is better.
If the entire server park is Windows, then the delivery will be better with a platform change. It's much likelier that the machine will stand abandoned in a corner, slowly rotting away if nobody really knows how to to manage the beast...
The world isn't black and white, and it isn't always about which is the better technical platform. If it was, the whole world would be using *nix-servers... ;-)

Issues opening Microsoft Office 2008 programs with MTN LION?

Hi all, I can't seem to open any of my microsoft office programs since I upgraded to Mountain Lion today.

Thanks for the response -- I downloaded the link and came across this:

Will Microsoft Word 2008 work with Mountain lion

Does anyone know?

ML has not been released yet so no one here--all end-users like you---can say for sure. However, Office 2008 was the first version of Office with Intel code so the odds are good it will.
You may want to ask in the Micorsoft forum since Office is not an Apple product:
Office for Mac forums
You may ned to research in another forum. This is for iMAcs made before 2006 and will not be able to run ML.

How to read columns of a Microsoft Excel .csv file with LabVIEW?

This should be simple. Any ideas on how to read an Excel file with csv extension using LabVIEW?
Thanks!

Use the Read From SpeadSheet File.VI which you can find on the FILE I/O pallette.
"Read From Spreadsheet File
Reads a specified number of lines
or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and
converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the
array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards.
You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI
calls the Spreadsheet String
to Array function to convert the data."
The CSV file is essentially a text file which uses commas as delimiters in the files structure.

The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can now get it without having to phone the store.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
