Is microsoft office 2000 compatible with leopard?

I recent had my hard drive fail and apple had to replace it. I am reloading software on my computer, I have MS office 2000 and the MS office 2004 as an upgrade. In order for the MS 2004 to work I need to put MS 2000 on my computer, but my computer won't let me install MS 2000. It says something about not being able to run in classics. Am I forced to buy the new MS 2008 because I have leopard on my machine now?

You don't need to install Office 2001. Simply have the CD handy and point the office 2004 installer to the Office folder on that CD when prompted.
Also, since Office is not an Apple product, please post further questions regarding it on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as they are more geared toward Office issues than an Apple forum:

  • Microsoft office 2000 compatibility with Leopard

    Hello: Is Leopard compatible with Microsoft Office 2000? I was about to reformat and install.

    hi moitori --
    It works fine on mine.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • Will my current Microsoft Office disks work with Leopard?

    Hi!
    I am currently using a Macbook with Mac OS Tiger, and I am looking at getting Mac OS Leopard. What I was wondering is if my Microsoft office disks will still be compatible with Mac OS Leopard like they are on OS Tiger?
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    (Please note: I am not expecting miracles here. If it won't work, it won't work, I am not going to be upset about it.)

    Alycia --
    Office X works fine, as well, with Leopard.
    I think you're in good shape.

  • Is Office 2000 compatible with RoboHelp 7?

    We are planning to buy RoboHelp7. But, cannot buy Office
    2007. Is RoboHelp7 compatible with Office 2000 (our exisitng
    version)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Meenakshmi

    Problems -
    Currently, we are using Office 2000 and RH6. Now, we are
    planning to upgrade to RH7. We downloaded the trial version to
    check the compatibitiy. We compiled the exisitng RH6 projects with
    the RH7. It was found that pages with links are not displaying at
    all. We imported them from another project. But, some of then dod
    not work after that. There are also some special characters in the
    texts. We tried with Office 2007 and RH7. The problems were there
    too. Can anyone advice whether this is some bug? We applied the
    vailable patch. But nothing happened.
    Should we go for the upgrade?

  • 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.

    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.
    Good Luck

    You are posting in the discussion of Yosemite, Mac OS X 10.10, area.  But no, Excel 2008, as part of Office 2008, will require an Intel processor and Mac OS X 10.x version.

  • 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.

  • Office 2004 crashing with Leopard

    I installed Microsoft Office 2004 on my Leopard HD and it keeps crashing. Anyone else having this trouble?

    I've been having some problems as well... the main issue was w/ Office 2004 Word, the thesaurus tool wasn't working or showing. I contacted Microsoft through email and this is what they said:
    +If it is the new Leopard there is a known conflict because the Leopard has its own Spelling and Grammar tools now and they may be conflicting with Microsoft Office. There is a way to check this out. Create a new test Mac and to do that follow the steps below.+
    +1) Close all open programs.+
    +2) Click on the Apple.+
    +3) Select System Preferences.+
    +4) Select Accounts.+
    +5) Click on the Plus sign.+
    +5) For the name, short name, password and verify password please use the word "test".+
    +6) Please ensure this user can administer the computer.+
    +7) Close out of the accounts window.+
    +8) Log out of your user and log into the new user.+
    +9) Try to open Word then try the Thesaurus.+
    I did what they said and the problem seemed like it was fixed but a day later the same thing happened all over again. Hopefully it'll help fix some of your problems... Good Luck!
