Microsoft Office for the mac no longer is supported because it is a PPC App? Recourse?

What on earth is this power delegated to themselves to take away without fair notice that even applications bought through the apple store such as Microsoft Office for the mac, can no longer be supported because it is a PowerPC application. Since this was purchased through Apple, do they not offer an alternative?
I must call Rosetta Stone now also, huh? All this money wasted just because Apple has made the decision to f everyone?

Microsoft Office is not an Apple product. It is not up to Apple to support it regardless of where you purchased it.
Unless you want to learn a new language, don't purchase Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is language training software. Rosetta is the codename of the technology that allowed PowerPC code to run on an Intel-based Mac.
Rosetta was based on code now owned by IBM. Since Apple does not own it, it can't just arbitrarily make it available to you to run the software that has been updated not once, but twice since the PowerPC platform was abandoned.
You might try asking IBM to write you some software to run your old programs, or you can update them to something newer. If that cost is too expensive, you might consider one of the alternative Office-type suites such as Open Office, Libre Office, or NeoOffice.
iWork is also an alternative, but it is not free. The three individual parts, word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software, each cost $20 on the Mac App Store.

I just purchase my first macbook air and i don't know how to download my microsoft office 2010 that i have already purchased for my old computer. Do i need to purchase again for the microsoft office for the mac?

I have a windows computer before i purchased my mac and i had already spend $500 for microsoft office professional 2010, i would ike to know if i can download the same one to my macbook air and how to do it. please need help!

The problem is that your Office 2010 package is a Windows application, and Windows softare doesn't run natively under MacOS. As a result, you can't simply download it or install it on your MacBook Air.
You can set up your MacBook Air to run Windows as well as MacOS, using either Boot Camp (where you pick whether to run Windows or MacOS each time the system starts, but you can't run both at the same time) or using a 'virtual' Windows installation (where you use software such as VMware to create a virtual Windows machine which you run as a window inside MacOS), but in either case you'll need a licence for Windows, plus the virtualisation software if you want to go that route. In other words, it's not simple, though in either case your Office software would be usable.
Some software houses are prepared to cross-licence software in this sort of instance - they'll allow a copy for one platform to lapse and charge a relatively low amount for new copy, on the basis that the user has already paid full price, but Microsoft generally don't seem generally cooperative in that instance.

How do you go about purchasing microsoft word for your mac laptop?

i was just wondering how you go about buying microsoft office for your mac air? can you buy the package online and download it? or do you have to go into a retail store and physically purchase it?
thanks

Go to the Microsoft Store online, you can buy a download or a disc, or both.

Is there a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

As a college student it's important that everything is equal for windows and mac for using instructions. So i am wondering if theres a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

There are differences between the two version of Office. If you need to be exactly like the Windows version, you will have to run Windows on your Mac.

I have a voucher to be used on the app store, is there anyway I can use it to purchase and download Microsoft Office for Mac?

No, only for apps available on the App Store. Office is not one of them.

This is the Microsoft forum site that parallels what Apple has:

It's not uncommon for MS employees who work with the Mac side of the business to help there. All in all a useful resource for Office:Mac

How to reinstall Microsoft Office for Mac after new hard drive?

Recently I had a problem with my Macbook Pro, and unfortunately had to purchase a new hard drive and have it installed. This also led to the loss of data and other things, such as Microsoft Office for Mac. I know this is an Apple community, but I get better answers here than at the Microsoft communities so I'm hoping someone can help find out how to reinstall Microsoft Office 2013. I logged onto my Microsft account and it says that there is no record of me purchasing Microsoft Office on that account but I know thats the account that it was purchased on, so i cannot get my product key to reinstall it as directed. Someone please help!!!!

Try calling MS support and explaining the situation, maybe they will issue a new key.

Excel - microsoft office for Mac 2008

Can someone tell me how to delete empty text boxes from an excel spreadsheet (microsoft office for mac 2008). I must be overlooking something. Thank you for your reply.

Hmmmm...I'm guessing somebody else has run into this...is there a better place for me to post my question in the forum? Or does everybody in the forum see the question regardless of the catagory it is posted under? I wasn't sure which catagory it should go under.

I have just installed 10.7 Lion and get the following message when trying to open a Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 product "You can't open the application Microsoft Entourage because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." What needs to be done ?

What needs to be done to regain my Microsoft Office for Mac suite that I lost when I installed Mac os 10.7.3 Lion upgrade?

why would you say things like that here? if you are a windows one then stay there. but you are not polite or helpful and if can't use Apple i wonder why you would come here to tell all about your sad story. I don't understand that it has nothing to do with question asked.
I own, or should I say have owned, several Apple products. Including a new MBP.
I also use Windows.
I will say anything I like in an effort to help people overcome problems they are having with Mac's and computers in general.
Being a Apple Fanboy is not required for membership on this forum or trying to help other Mac users.
And just how is suggesting to remove Lion and to go back to Snow Leopard not helping the OP in his quest to make his already owned and paid for MS Office software work? If it is isn't broken stop trying to fix it. Snow Leopard is a fine OS. Lion is still in Beta, only Apple hasn't told anyone. And yes I run Lion on my new MBP but I also have a partition with Snow Leopard on it.
Thank you and have a great day.

How can I retrieve Microsoft office for mac?

Hello! We had our MacBook Pro stolen and have had it replaced - however forgot to claim for the software we had installed! Is there any way of retrieving the Microsoft office for mac software without having to pay for it again? Thanks.

Well, then this has nothing to do with the Mac App Store....
Do you have the original box, serial numbers, or something?

Microsoft Office for Mac a good installation?

Have given a grand daughter a 15 inch RetMBKPro running OS 10.9.4 for college.
Is Microsoft Office for Mac a recommended piece of software to install?
Is it supported by Microsoft?
Are there any known problems with its use in a MAc?

Depending on how deeply she'll be getting into the vast range of features MS Office has and/or how complete file compatibility has to be with anyone else, you might also consider LibreOffice. It's a pretty full-featured alternative to MS Office, with the advantage that it's free.

Rebuilding Microsoft Office for Mac - won't rebuild

I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. I only have Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I do not have Outlook.
When I open up any one of the three (Word, Excel, or Powerpoint), i get the following message:
"There is a problem with the Office database. To use the database, verify that you have the correct permissions or rebuild it using the Database Utility.
The Office database stores your personal information, such as the Scrapbook and Outlook messages and contacts. To learn how to verify or change your permissions, click Cancel, and then in the Outlook Help, click Go Online, search
for “database permissions” and follow the instructions. To rebuild the database, click Rebuild.’’
I then click on Rebuild and get the following response:
"There is a problem with Office Database.
Office might be unable to access the database or the database file might be damaged. Without the database, thou might be unable to use the Scrapbook and other features that store your personal information.
To rebuild the database, open Microsoft Office 2011 / Office, and then open the Microsoft Database Unitity. For more information, open the Database Utility application, and on the Help menu,click Database Utility Help."
Then, when I try to rebuild the database, i get the following info.
step 1 of 5 - scanning
step 2 0f 5 - verifying
step 3 0 f5 - copying records to new database …
step 4 of 5 - recovering data ..
step 5 of 5 - finishing ….
Your database could not be rebuilt [-5000]
I even tried to create a new identity but it won't do that either. I get the response:
"New identity could not be created"
Does anyone know what I should do?
I will need exact steps, so please do not leave anything out.
Thanks.

Hi,
You'd probably try repairing disk permissions first, then try again. Follow these steps:
In the Finder, click Go, and then select
Home. Open the Applications folder. Open the Utilities folder.
In the column on the left side of the Disk Utility window, select your Macintosh HD.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
After the repair is completed, restart the computer.
Also, please note that this forum focuses on questions and feedback for Windows-based Microsoft Office client. Since your query is directly related to
Office for mac, please post in the forum of
Office for Mac, where you can get more experienced responses:

It's recommended to download and install

Downloading Microsoft Office for Mac

Im trying to download Microsoft Office for Mac...When I got to Installation screen a pop up box stated I must close Safari before continuing, but Safari is not open, I tried to hit continue but the box wouldn't go away and the installation will not continue with installation?

I figured it out by checking out another question! It is possible to have safari open without any pages showing up...Check to see if there is a dot under Safari, if so right click (click and hold down) then a box pops up and hit Quit...this took care of the problem!

I am trying to use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

I am trying to use Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 as my daughters school uses it (on PC's). However, it won't save any documents. It gives me the message that; it is not a valid file name, check the path to make sure it was typed correctly and select a file from the list of files and folders. All of which I think I have tried and there is just no success. It has just completely lost my daughters homework essay so it is not very popular around here at the moment! Anyone with any ideas for this glitch (?).

Doesn't sound like Office for Mac. In any case post in the Microsoft forums:
