pj,
How compatible? Enough so that iWork can open Office documents and can save in Office format, but some features may be lost going in either direction. Text may look ever so slightly different on the printed page. The worst compatibility, in my opinion, is a fancy Numbers document being exported to Excel. It will lose most of its organization, unless it's designed with this export in mind. Many power features of Excel are missing in Numbers, and if your files are large, Numbers will crawl compared with Excel's speed.
Given how inexpensive the iWork apps are and how much fun they are to use, I would have them even if I also had Office.

How do I get access to my microsoft word, excel etc? Is lion not compatible with word, if so it you be mentioned prior to someone purchasing.

Have installed Lion, but Lion says it will not support microsoft office programs words. Is this a major glitch with Lion? I cannot believe Apple would create a operation system not conducive to running word, excell etc.!!! Anyone know what the fix is?

There is no glitch. Lion does support Office and Word. You can use Office 2008 or 2011.

There are apps that support multiple document formats e.g. GoodReader 4 supports (read-only) PDFs, text files, images, and word and excel documents - from their help pages on their website, http://www.goodreader.com/gr-man-view-other.html :
For file types that are not covered by our own advanced viewing engines, we use standard built-in viewing engine, which should be familiar to you from your Safari application experience. When you open any file in Safari, you activate the same viewing engine that we use for the following file types: Microsoft Office files - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML files and Safariwebarchives, iWork files - Pages, Numbers, Keynote.
Please note that the built-in viewer doesn't support very large MS Office files. If your MS Office file crashes built-in viewing engine, we suggest to convert it to a PDF file. PDF files of huge sizes are easily handled by GoodReader using our own advanced viewing engine.
That app also allows you to create folders within it, so you can have separate folders for your areas.

App to Edit Microsoft word, excel

Hi their,
I want a great app to edit Microsoft word & excel files. If possible it should also be able to retrieve files from my email attachments that i receive or send. I really need an app as I already have the iPhone with other brilliant apps, but still lack this feature. I am also doing this for my father who is looking for ward to buy the iPhone instead of other business devices.
Please do answer me..............

QuickOffice's MobileFiles Pro was released last week, which currently allows editing of excel spreadsheets, word doc editing is coming in a future update (I don't know when exactly). It also allows viewing of all the usual office, iwork, PDF, image files etc. as well as playback of audio/video files. You can access your MobileMe iDisk with the app, and download files to the iPhone's local storage, as well as uploading xls files you have created/edited locally with the app. If you don't use MobileMe, the app has the ability of transferring files over your wifi network.
I've got it and highly recommend it. What it does, it does very well, however there are features I'd like to see added, like cut/copy/paste of cells, ability to email files as attachments, fast-scrolling/bookmarking in large PDFs/docs, word doc & ppt file editing/creation.
QuickOffice have been in the game for a long time with native apps on Palm, Windows Mobile, Symbian & BlackBerry, so I'd expect the app to get better and better over time.
Here's the link to the app:

Why can't I use word, excel etc after upgrading OS X lion ?

Why can´t I use word,excel etc after upgrading too OS X Lion ?

Office 2004 is a PowerPC app that requires Rosetta to run. Roseeta and thus all PPC aps are not supported on Lion. Further Office 2008's Installer is a PPC app. Office 2008 will run if installed before installing Lion, but you cannot install it from Original Office 2008 Media after installing Lion.

Word, Excel, etc not opening

Hi there,
I have been having a few problems with opening Microsoft Office applications on my mac. Firstly, the word icon kept disappearing from my dock. I tried deleting the dock plist files and also the microsoft office plist files from library - preferences following advice from an online forum.
I've also done a hard drive disk utility repair.
Now, none of the microsoft office applications work (word, excel, etc).
The error message I get includes this:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @rpath/mbukernel.framework/Versions/14/mbukernel
Referenced from: /Users/andybooth/Desktop/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Microsoft Excel.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Excel
Reason: image not found
My Mac is running OS X 10.6.8
Any help gratefully received!!!
Thanks very much,
Andy

With all due respect, I disagree most vigorously.
I can find nothing like this either in the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, or in the Community etiquette. I quote from the latter:
"Apple Support Communities exists to enable community members to help each other get the most out of their Apple products and services."
In my book, helping a community member to use Microsoft Word (or any other legal third party software) effectively on his Mac certainly qualifies as helping him to get the most out of his Apple product.
To my mind, there are only two further points.
(1) Has the question been posted in the right forum? That's significant, because posting in the wrong forum creates noise. For instance, posting in the Lion forum a question about using MS Word under Snow Leopard creates noise, because the correct answer for Lion may be very different from the correct answer for SL.
In our specific instance, the OP erred in posting a software question (using MS Office under SL) in a forum dedicated primarily to a specific hardware platform (MacBook Pro). The correct forum would have been Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
(2) How likely is the OP to find get a useful answer? In this respect, sig was right to refer him to Microsoft's Office Mac support site, because that's where the OP is likely to find many dedicated users of this particular software, and thus has a much better chance of finding the answer he's looking for. But that's not the same thing as telling him that he shouldn't post such questions in the Apple Support Communities.

For one of our users the option to send a document as attachment has dissapeared in office programs such as word, excel etc

Hi,
For one of our users the option to send an email as attachment has disappeared in office programs such as word, excel etc
As you can see from the above these are the normal options you expect to see but for the user affected they get the option to send as a Text document, a pdf or an XPS the option to send as a attachment has gone.
I have logged into her PC with my account and it was fine, i have had a look and no one else has reported this throughout the company and looking for answers online has proven fruitless.
Any Ideas on why this option would have changed to only allow the user to send it as text.

Hi,
The "Send as Attachment" option only works when Outlook and word are installed from the same suite. That is required.
Thanks,

I thought apple is user friendly. That is why I bought it. I do not have a use to download my boot camp assistant for a compatible to microsoft words, excel, powerpoint. They told me I have iWork's for all of this products but mine is not working.

To whom it may concern.
I bought an apple product which is MacBook Air about 7 mths. ago . Anyway I would like to download a compatible words, excel, powerpoint. they told me that I do not need it since IWORKS is all I needed. I tried my keynote , numbers does not worked. Somebody emailed me sending me this mumbo jumbo for it to work. Well, if I was a computer wiz, I probably will not be asking for help.
I followed the tutorials for windows for mac, followed every instructions, hold and behold another problem. I have to have a usb, when I bought this at Best Buy, I asked them what do I need , they said that I do not need anything else because it is all in there. So to make a long story short. I am just so frustrated .
How can I download the windows for mac, I know I have to start in utilities , boot camp assistant, then the usb problem. Please I need help, it is much needed for my job. Ipages does not saved anything, I mean nothing it just disappeared , and you do not have any idea how much I have the long hrs. I have put in.
Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate this .

You can buy Microsoft Office for Mac, it includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Or you can download a free copy of LibreOffice which contains substitutes (good ones) for the Microsoft Office programs.
Do not even think of using Boot Camp unless you have a complete and current TM backup or a clone to restore if it goes wrong. You will also need to buy Windows and Microsoft Office for it. And you MUST read the directions very carefully.

I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, etc. from the bottom of my screen - how do I get them back?

I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, iTunes, etc. from the bottom of my desktop - how do I get them back?

Easy-these are just aliases. Do a cloverleaf+F/command+F (Find) and they should appear. Either create an alias and drag it to the dock-or there's an "add to Dock" command in the Finder. so click on whichever app you'd like to add to the Dock, then add to Dock and it should appear there. If something isn't in the Dock that doesn't mean it's gone for good. It's just an alias
well, hope that helped

What is the best app to buy for word, excel, and PowerPoint, for my ipad2?

Hello, I have an ipad2, and was recently told it can do everything a laptop can, so with that said, I need a great app for word, excel, PowerPoint, adobe and electric on signing , please help.

As with beauty, best is in the eye of the beholder or user.
FaceBook has an app for iOS devices, but FaceBook has chosen not to provide an iPad optimized version for their app - not yet anyway. As with most other iPhone/iPod Touch compatible apps, FaceBook's app will work on the iPad but it isn't optimized for the iPad's larger screen. There are at least two 3rd party FaceBook apps that are optimized for the iPad.

Error message upon opening Microsoft word, Excel, etc.

I'm hoping someone can shed some light. I am a NEW user of Macs and just bought an iMac and have been having fun however I am getting an error message every time I open the Word, Excel, Power Point, etc. programs in Microsoft Office 2004 that say "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library. Anyone know what I should do to get rid of this message from popping up each time? Thanks!

How do I get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Etc. files?

I can't get Safari to automatically open Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. files when I click on them from a Web site or Web-based email. They are automatically downloaded, but not opened. PDF files, and other "safe" file types, open automatically. The ""Open safe files after downloading" box is checked.
Any Suggestions? Thanks.
