May I Safely Delete My Older Version of Microsoft Office?

I recently installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro. Mavericks does not support Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac, which I was using before installing Mavericks. Therefore, I have purchased and installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac. In "Applications" in Finder, may I safely delete the folder entitled "Microsoft Office 2004"?

Yes. I'd make sure your documents are backed up first, and keep a copy of the installer in case you need it in the future.

I use iBookAuthor to make a textbook for my students; I revised it, including title page, but when I export it and upload it to my iPad, the old title page appears, even though I've deleted the older version of the text before I upload the new one.

Last year I produced a textbook using iBookAuthor for my students. I exported it as an iBook and they uploaded it to their iPads. This year, I revised it, including revising the title page. However, when I upload the new version, the old title page is shown, not the new one. I deleted the older version of the textbook before I did this. I've been told that I can cut and paste each revised chapter into a new template and that will work; however, title page and glossary can't be cut and pasted. Any thoughts for getting the entire new version on the iPad? I'm also told that if it is uploaded to an iPad that never had a previous version of this textbook, it will upload correctly. But my iPad has had several older versions, now deleted.

I had a similar issue when trying to create an iBook file to submit for course credit for one of the Apple Learning Essentials classes I took. I had a book I'd started previously which I updated and submitted, and then had to make some edits to for the course evaluator. I made the edits, and when I previewed the book in iBooks Author, it looked correct, but whatever I sent to him only showed some of the edits - for example a new page I created was there, but some edits I made to image captions and the title page image were not.
What worked for me was to do a "Save as" of the actual Author file to a totally new location (I used the Desktop), and then submit that file - which seemed to work in terms of the changes sticking. I even used the same file name.
I'm not sure if some similar action might help you (maybe change the file name slightly?) or if you've already tried something like this.
Still doesn't change the fact that this is a pretty irritating bug.

I have the same problem, they never told me that, just that the newest version of Java "locks" up streaming quotes.

No, you don't need to.

It should remove it for you unless you are on a Mac. If that's the case, you do not NEED to uninstall the older version but there really isn't any reason to keep it.

MS Database Daemon-Older Version Prevents MS Office from Launching

I just updated my MS Office, and i get an error message that it cannot be launched since an "older version of MS Database Daemon is still running". It instructs me to delete the older version from "startup items."
How do I go to Startup Items and delete the older daemon so the new one can launch?

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)
All your documents will be fine.

Is mountain lion compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc?

... unless, like me, you open up an uber-important Excel 2004 file in Excel 2011 and get the following dialog box which leads to a trashed Chart, which I need access to EVERY WEEK:
Can't say I've ever seen such error messages, and I've opened lots of files created back in OS 8. Also many more much older than that from Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.
Lucky for you; unlucky for me that an important Excel 2004 Chart gets corrupted when opened in Excel 2011!
I suspect the problem is in the conversion routine that Microsoft added to Office 2011 to update Excel 2004 files. How conversant are you historically with converting Excel 2004 files that contain charts to Excel 2011? Because your experience with OS 8, Windows 95 and even MS-DOS has no relevance on this issue.

You will notice, Kurt, that I based my advice to the OP as "if you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011..."
Yes, I saw it. But if everyone did what you would expect with your statement, no one would suggest upgrading to Office 2011. Besides, you're the one who stated "unable or unwilling", not the OP.
Are you always this argumentative, or is this my lucky day?
Many people suggest upgrading to Office 2011. I do it frequently in my other "workarounds" type of answers to the Rosetta in Lion/Mountain problem. I chose not to offer that solution here, and as I expected, someone else, namely you, did!
The problem was that you finished your suggestion with this comment: "Particularly when it isn't really necessary." Since this statement was not true in my case (it IS necessary for me to continue to use my important Excel 2004 file as well as some other historical files I have; and conceivably could be important to the OP), I posted the correction.
You also made the suggestion that: "...the cost of VM software isn't that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011." While certainly true in the vacuum of the OP asking specifically about Word 2004; when the OP becomes aware that his complete library of PPC applications will fail in Mountain Lion, your suggestion about the relative cost to upgrade may no longer be as relevant.
Lastly: Yes, I commonly state to similar OP's that if they are "unable" (because, for example, they may also have conversion problems with Office 2011, Appleworks 6, Freehand or other programs) or "unwilling" (perhaps they just cannot afford to upgrade all of their PPC apps at this time), that here is an alternative that will keep the status quo available to them, and buy them some more time to consider their options while continuing to use Lion/Mountain Lion and their PowerPC apps.
Is the relevance of my post to the OP's problem (and your reply to my solution) sufficiently clear for you now?

Is there a version of Microsoft Office that will work on Mavericks?

I have seen several questions on this topic, but don't have a clear answer on if I need to buy something or can get an update for my version of MS Office.
I believe I have MS Office 2004 based on the log files I can see in the directory. MS Office will not run so I can't be certain.
I have a Macbook Pro running 10.9 with the 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor.
When I start it now the error I get is "You can't open the applicaiton Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
So, what does this mean, excatly?
Can I update my MS Office to a version that is supported?
If I have to, instead, BUY a new version of MS Office, will it work on my laptop?
Thanks for any tips. I have looked at several of the other threads but they seem to confuse the issue since everyone is in a different situation with hardware versions and such.
-todd

Thanks Niel and Varjak.
Do you by chance know if I have to buy a new version of MSOffice or if this there is an upgrade path from 2004 to either '08 or '11? I have had the MS Update app on my laptop for a while but I guess since I always had an older version of the OS, I never needed an update to '08.
I tried launching the '11 MS Update app but it would not load since I have an older version of MS Office installed.
