My Microsoft Word 2004 is not supported..should I upgrade to 2011?

I can not open my Microsoft Office 2004  since Lion does not support it. Can I upgrade to Mocrosoft office 2011?

It is worth noting, however, that if you use Entourage in Office 2004 you will NOT be able to import messages into Office 2011 running on Lion. This is because Office 2011 must be able to run Entourage in order to import the messages. So you must upgrade to Office 2011 on Snow Leopard first, and then upgrade to Lion.

    The obvious questions must be asked. What has changed? Software or hardware added/updated/deleted? Has it been working without issue for days/weeks/months/years before this?

  • Microsoft Adcenter says browser not supported

    Microsoft Adcenter says browser not supported and tells me to enable cookies and java yet these are enabled

    Hello Siborg.
    Can you provide me with a link for this site? You may need to contact Microsoft about this, though.
    Or you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • Microsoft Word 2004 unable to open with Leopard

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    This is a common plaint discussed here and in the Install and Setup forum many times in many threads.
    Some have gotten it to run, others updated to 2008, while others switched to NeoOffice or OpenOffice which work nearly flawlessly with Leopard and are free.
    If you search these forums for "Microsoft Word 2004" you will find a plethora of information, some of which may be helpful.
    Typically I think you have to do a complete uninstall and reinstall and be sure you have the very latest patches from MS.

    Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

    Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family  and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

    I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?
    Regards
    Mike

    1. Install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe site.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
       Download it first. Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
        Follow the prompts and install it.

    Im trying to watch a DVD for a health and safety test i need to do and I'm getting "You can’t open the application “RunMe.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X."
    Im not very good with computers so any help greatly appreciated 

    You chose a Windows program, what else can you do.
    If you had a Windows machine and the DVD required a Mac you wouldn't be able to run it at all (Winboxes can't run OSX) so at least the Mac gives you the option.

  • You can't open the application "MFI_Simulator.exe" because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office for Mac 2011 on MacBook Pro 13''.

    You can’t open the application “MFI_Simulator.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on OS X. Can someone assist. I have Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro, OS X, 10.9.1.

    Your Office 2011, though a Microsoft product, is designed to work with OSX the Mac operating system.  Any program/application ending .exe is an executable program for Windows.  It will only work in Windows and is not part of or openable with Microsoft Office.
    the application you want to open needs Windows - you have a couple of alternatives:
    Open it on a Windows PC
    Install a valid version of Windows via Bootcamp (or Parallels or VM Fusion) which will allow you to boot your Mac into Windows where it will function like a Windows PC and you can use it to run the application.
    See if the manufacturers of MFI_Simulator have a Mac version available.
    Please note that if you follow the second option, then you will need to purchase a copy of Windows (if you do not have one already). BootCamp is free (part of OSX) but Parallels and VM Fusion cost too.  I see quite a few posts from people who buy Parallels and try to run the program under Parallels - this doesn't work - you need to install Windows as well.
    Hope this helps.

    That's because you must be trying to download a Windows application, and they do not run on a Mac unless you are running Windows on the Mac.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    For adware removal see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Tool.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:

      OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
      OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware

      About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.)
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
