Is OSX lion compatible with microsoft office for mac 2008

Can anybody out there please give me a definitive answer to this question: Is OSX Lion compatible with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008? The technical support people of both Apple and Microsoft could not provide me wth a useful answer to a question that must interest hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions. I don't want to download the new OS and then encounter nasty problems.

Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.

Compatibility issues with Microsoft Office?

I am planning to buy a 13"MBA - Are there any known issues with working with years of files generated with Microsoft Office?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks

The only problem you might run into is when opening MS Word documents that are in a very old (i.e. pre-2003) versions.
UNLIKE trying to open a pre-2003 document in say, Office 2010 on Windows, you won't have to jump through hoops and recite arcane incantations to get it to open. In OS X, if you try to open the docs by directly clicking on them in the finder, you'll get a warning message and they will not open directly, but all you have to do is open them from the File menu from within Word.

Hi,
This forum is to discuss problems of Office development such as VBA, VSTO, Apps for Office .etc. But I find your question is related to the installing of Office for Mac 2011. So I suggest you posting it in Office
for Mac support for more effective responses.
Thanks.

CS4 issues with Microsoft Office Small Business 2007? Other apps?

I recently purchased the CS4 upgrade and a new laptop. Last night after nearly 7 hours I finally got it all installed and working correctly. I had the versioncue.dll error which caused most of my pain. Anyway... I've been lurking on the forums since CS3 launched but passed on it due to all the issues I had read about it's installer, finally I felt I needed to take the plunge and upgraded my software (from MX2004 suite). My question is this.
Currently I have a very clean laptop with only:
Kaspersky 2009 and CS4 installed.
I'm looking to install Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 but I have a concern with the Small Business Manager SQL Server. From other post I've seen that the sql servers have conflicted with adobe applications, has anyone had any issues with this or should I be able to install it now without issue. I'm trying to pre-emptivly make sure I don't screw something up and have to install everything again from scratch.
My end goal would be to have: Kaspersky security suite 2009, CS4, MS office Small Business 2007, Paragon back up application. At that point I want to create a restore and if anything happened I'd have the bulk set up easily again.
Does anyone have any other no no's about what does and does not play well with CS4?
My Setup:
Gateway FX 7805u laptop
dual core centreno 2 2.26
4 gigs DDR3
Geforce 9800m gts 1 gb
320 gb 7200 harddrive - not sure on make
Vista 64
All drivers up to date except the new Nvidia drivers as they are still beta
Thank you in advance.

I should also have mentioned (ask) about the fact that when I first installed I had gotten all the way past the initial installer and to the updates so the suite had already been activated/registered.
After getting the versioncue.dll error it has you remove the suite and many folders pertaining to it. So after I did all that and reinstalled it automatically put my info back in for me (obviously one of the folders it doesn't have you move) and I don't recall it re-registering it again. I'm assuming I am fine with my activations and it only counted it once as it was the same machine with an uninstall/reinstall? Everything seems to be working ok, i'm just curious as to what it actually did? Did it take another activation or no? I'm planning on installing to my desktop as well as soon as I get the board/proc replaced, so i'm just looking down the road for potential issues.
Thanks again.

HT4759 Can I place documents created with Microsoft Office for Mac, eg. WORD, or .pdf files be stored in iCloud? If so, how can I put them there?

Hi,
I am trying to learn how to use iCloud, would like to hsve it my documents on it, which are mostly created in WORD (part of Microsoft Office Suite for Mac) or .pdf files. I don'r see how to get them into iCloud. Actually I don't see how to place anything at all in iCloud other than contacts, etc. I am not seeing how it can be usedul to me.

I should have been more clear. You have to buy the iWork programs from Apple. They are available in the App Store.
Pages: http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/
Numbers: http://www.apple.com/iwork/numbers/
$20 each.
The iWork programs are integrated with iCloud and work fairly automatically with it. iCloud is only intended for specific purposes and is not intended for general purpose storage.
Dropbox is though, and it's free.

Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

Acrobat Standard 8 on Windows 7 printing issues with Microsoft Office 2003

When I try to print from Microsfot Word, Excel, etc. Version 2003 files will not print. I have adobe standard version 8, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit, Microsoft Office 2003. Please help!!!! I don't get an error message. The progress bar stops at about 10% and goes no further.

AA8 is not certified for Win7, particularly X64. Be sure to update your Acrobat to the most current version and you might be able to use it. As an alternative, print to file when using the printer and then open the file in Distiller to get the PDF. That may be your only choice, but I do think some folks have been successful with WIn7 and AA8. However, the x64 system puts a wrench into the problem.

Problems with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

Hi,
I replaced my old mac around two months ago so I now own a Macbook Pro with Lion. Since then, whenever I open Microsoft Word, or a previously saved document, it also opens other documents I've saved since I bought the laptop. However, this does not include the documents I managed to retrieve from my previous Mac.
Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this happening?
Thank you

I'm sorry, but I have the same problem and neither the article indicated or using First Aid on the keychains have fixed it - problems occurred after installing Office 2008. What else can I try?
Regards

Need help with Microsoft Office for Mac upgrade question.

My MacBook died, great computer after six years! I just purchased my new MacBook Pro last night. I noticed that the MacBook Pro/OS X Lion does not support PPC software as I was trying to install MS Office 2004, which I have the 2008 upgrade for. Since the 2008 is just the upgrade it wants a previous version already installed and I cannot install 2004 MS Office, does this mean that I have to start over and just buy MS Office 2011?

I'm afraid so. Too bad you didn't apply the 2008 upgrade while your old MacBook was working. Then you could have migrated 2008 to the new machine from the MacBook's hard drive even if the rest of the MacBook was dead.

I just bought a macbook pro and am ready to order Microsoft Office for Mac. I use Windows 2007 at work and want to be sure I am able to work with files from that system. Do I need to buy 2 different editions of Microsoft Office to be able to do this?

Do I need to buy 2 different Microsoft Office products if I want to be able to use my new Mac with Microsoft Office for Mac and also use files saved on my work computer which uses Microsoft Window 2007?

Sorry, but your likely going to have to use Windows 7 and Office on your Mac at work using Bootcamp.
Although you can share files OfficeMac and Office on Windows, the formatting will be off because two platforms use different installed fonts and formatting. This will cause a productivity lost and require extra editing at work
If you could share just PDF's then your fine, but that will unlikely be the case.
So to share files seamlessly your going to have to install Windows 7 (another $300) full version, 64 bit, using Apple's Bootcamp.
https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
It's ok, though, you can boot into OS X to use that online and surfing etc at home. It's the internet and sharing of files from other Windows users that cause Windows to hoze up, so mimimalize both of those and you should be fine.
You can also run Windows 7 in a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion. as long as you don't have any super demanding needs of the hardware, like running 3D games or super intense CPU actions like video processing. Office work is just fine and it's safer than Bootcamp, as in a virtual machine you can keep "snapshots" of previous states of the OS, and revert back to in case something goes wrong in mere seconds.
A real good piece of news though, Windows 8 is so radically changed from Windows 7, that your workplace will remain with Windows 7 as long as possible to put off all the retraining necessary with that new OS version.
So think of the $300 + $60 investment in Windows on your Mac as a longterm thing.

Will Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 work on my iMac with Mountain Lion OS?

Help! I have downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on my iMac. Now I can't open or use files that contained labels I made with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 because Mountain Lion does not support Power PC and Microsoft Excel. If I purchase and download Office for Mac 2011, will it allow me to continue using these label files? If not, how can I get a database for my iMac that will enable me to create labels and catalogues?

Thanks, Niel. I'm glad to know purchasing the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 will enable me to retrieve and use my "ancient" database label files. I did try to get OpenOffice, but my computer says "'OpenOffice' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and my "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers." How can I do this? I really don't know about the inner workings of my computer!

Help with Microsoft Office and iPad

A little background. I have a MacBook Pro with Microsoft Office for Mac. I also have an iPad2 and an iPhone 3gs. I travel for work and am often needing to be able to access and edit spreadsheets and word documents. Mostly spreadsheets. I still need everything to be compatible with windows though because I havent yet successful talked my company into buying Macs yet. Looking like next year.
What is the easiest way/best apps for what I need to do. Ideally everything would sync wirelessly but I am guessing that is the most expensive way. I do not want to invest much because we will more than likely be switching over to all Macs soon.
Thanks in advance

There are a number of apps that work with Office docs (I use Docs 2 Go) but they are all limited compared to a computer version. It depends on how complex yourmdocs (particularly the spreadsheets) are.
for syncing, I use DropBox with the premium version of Docs 2 Go.

I am running 10.6.8 on an iMac7,1 with 2.4GHz, 4Gb RAM. Other than usual Apple apps, I also run Microsoft Office for Mac. Am i better off upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks rather than trying to go to Yosemite ? Thanks!

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an iMac 7,1 system with 2.4GHz processor and 4Gb RAM. I also use Microsoft Office for Mac.
I am wondering whether i should upgrade to Yosemite or first go to Mountain Lion or Maverics to avoid sluggishness and other potential issues with using Yosemite on this iMac.

i had thought Snow Leopard was no longer supported hence my idea to upgrade.
It isn't being supported any longer.
If you haven't done this you might want to consider doing it for security.

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.
