Office 2001 - 2004

Hi, I am sorry if this is in the wrong place I am not really sure where to put it. I hope someone can help
I know this is a little redundant with 2008 just arriving but I have noticed when opening office 2001 files in office 2004 some of the inserted graphics look much lower resolution in 2004 than they did in 2001. This is consistent between different macs and the mac the original file was created on. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Chris

Also quite busy is Office for Mac on Google at

Migrating Office 2001 Entourage files to Office 2004 Entourage

Does anyone know how to migrate Office 2001 Entourage files originally in OS 9.1, Calander events, address book contacts, tasks, notes, etc, to Office 2004 Entourage files in OS 10.04.
Thanks

If the OS 9 version of Entourage and its data files are on the same volume as OS X, then it's a simple matter of doing an import from Entourage 2004. The import function will provide a selection to import from a previous version. Check the radio button to Import from a Program.

Running Microsoft Office 2001 with Tiger vs Classic

Mac experts,
Okay, I have a couple of questions. First, I recently installed Tiger 10.4 on my G3 laptop. Runs great eventhough I know I'm pushing the envelope with only 128 MB of memory and at 400 MHz speed. Anyhow, since I also run several programs that required the Classic environment, I went ahead and installed 9.2.2 as well. Both systems seem to work well with each other. I then decided to update to Microsoft Office 2001 which went smoothly as well. The problem (and maybe it's not a problem) is only Classic will run Office eventhough Tiger will run Office for me on my iMac (G4). Is there a way to tell my little ole G3 laptop to run Office from Tiger instead of Classic. I have encounter some freez-ups when working in Office (just Word so far). I would be working and periodically hit save to save the work and several times, when save was hit the machinge would freeze up and require me to do a force quit. Anyhow, any help you guys can give me is greatly appreciated.
Second question. I take a lot of pictures and use iLife to make slide shows and movies. My iMAc has only a 20 GB harddrive so as you can imagine it fills up rather quickly. I purchased a 300 GB external harddrive to store all of my "productions" but was wondering if there is a way to automatically save photos in iphoto and music in itunes directly to the external harddrive instead of periodically making the transfer manually?
Thanks guys for all your help!
Mark

You need Office X or Office 2004 to run it natively in Mac OS X.
As for iTunes/iPhoto you can set where documents are stored in the preferences section of each application.

Is MS Office 2001 compatable with intel Macs?

I know Office 2004 works via Rosetta but will the older version work?

I’m going to have to disagree with Peter. I believe Office v.X was the first version to run natively in OSX (I’m using it and it runs very well.)
Office 2001 ran in classic and therefore is not compatible with intel machines- Not 100% sure but if I understand this correctly.... <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272642>

Installing Office 2001, Palm Desktop

I just received my MacBook Pro and I'm trying to install Office 2001. After it was installed I could not open it because "Microsoft Word is not supported on ths system." Is it possible to use this version of Office, and if so, how? I also have an old version of Palm Desktop. Thanks.

No. Office 2001 is for OS 9. You need Office 2004 X for OS X. Palm Desktop may run if you get the latest version, but frankly I would avoid it like the plague and use Missing Sync for Palm by Mark/Space Software - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Note that you cannot use any OS 9 software on an Intel Mac. If you have other OS 9 vintage software you will have to upgrade it to a current OS X version or find a substitute that is compatible with OS X.
If you prefer there is a freeware suite that is pretty much fully compatible with Office 2004 X. It's called NeoOffice Aqua 2.2.1 - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 and Office mac 2004

Hi,
Just a quick question. How many CDs do come in:
- Virtual PC for Mac version 7 with Windows XP Pro
and
- Office mac 2004?
Thanks for your help.

Here is some info from the contents of my VPC boxes.
VPC 7 with Windows XP Home ed. has 3 CDs - Installation 1, Installation 2, and Additional Windows System Files. Requires MacOS X 10.2.8+, 700Mhz G3, G4, or G5 processor, 512 RAM.
VPC 6 with Windows XP Home ed. has 2 CDs - Installation, and Extra System Files. Requires Mac OS 9.2.2 or Mac OS X 10.2.1+, 500Mhz G3 or G4 processor, 320 RAM.
I do not have Office Mac 2004 so can't help you there.

Can I use Office:Mac 2004 with my new MacBook Pro

I just got a brand new MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to install my office:mac 2004 edition, but it seems to not be working. Do I have to repurchace office:mac or can I just upgrade.

The 2004 version of Office will not work on Mac OS X Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8) because it uses Power PC code. Power PC support was dropped in Lion and later. Version 2008 or 2011 should work fine.

Installing Office 2001 for Mac on new Mac Mini

I own a copy of Office for Mac 2001 that was used on my older iMac.
I thought I could install this on my new Mac mini with OS X. However, after attempting to install from my CD I get an error message saying it is not compatible on the system.
Does anyone out there know if you can infact use an older version of Office for mac on the new Mac mini's? Or, do I need to purchase the latest and greatest version of Office for my new system?
There's got to be a way... don't want t spend another $600 when I have the older version that works fine.
Thank you!
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.7)

You need to install SheepShaver to use Classic and Classic applications such as Office 2001 on an Intel Mac. The current version of Office will run from Mac OS X, and all of its components except for Virtual PC run in Mac OS X on an Intel Mac.

Word (Office 2001) gives Type 2 error at start-up - help needed

Good day - I'm puzzled by a problem I'm unable to resolve. First, Word (part of the Office 2001 suite) suddenly lost it's pull-down menus, including the About tab, and then, upon relaunch, gave me a Type 2 error and refused to start. It first shows the Start-up 'Gallery' scene, and when you try to open an existing document or a new Word document, it then briefly shows the Word template and then crashes with a Type 2 error (I've run this program for years without any major issues). When I couldn't get this resolved after re-starting with a desktop rebuild, I checked the other applications - Entourage, PowerPoint, and Excel, and they all work fine. I trashed the Microsoft prefs - still no change. I removed the fonts - no change. I reloaded the MS Word portion of the Suite - no change. I zapped the PRAM, tested all the system extensions, even replaced the Internet Prefs - no joy. I even went so far as to do a Clean Install of new System software from my software install disk. Other than this, I haven't loaded any new software or done anything that I can think would cause this, and the odd thing is that the program installed on the hard disk WILL RUN when I boot from a restore or Norton system CD! Yet, when I reboot into my system on the hard drive, I'm back to the error message. With brand new system software the application will crash as before. Short of completing re-installing the Office 2001 suite (which I don't want to do, as I will likely lose all my email and address book and calendar) or re-initializing the hard drive and completely starting over, losing everything, I'm at a loss. I have run Norton (de-fragged the HD, ran anti-virus, etc.), checked my hardware with the hardware test disk, used Disk First Aid, all to no avail - no problems with memory, hardware or software indicated. The only thing I haven't done is update drivers, primarily because I have a newer (3.2.8) disk driver on the system than the Driver Utility has, and I don't want to replace it with 3.2.7. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this, or have any ideas before I'm forced to take this to a Mac repair facility? Thanks in advance...

Greetings to all - Thank you for your replies and help. I did this in reverse order to the posts. Trashing the ASLM, Finder, Mac OS and System Prefs provided the same result - Type 2 error at Word start-up. I had tested extensions using the extensions manager in sets of 5 with no change previously; I restarted with all extensions off (shift key at start-up) and got the same Type 2 error when launching MS Word.
Further info: I've tried this with VM at 1M + installed memory and with VW at double installed memory and it made no difference (I've always used VM in substantial blocks, even with VPC, which I use daily). I've removed ATM 4.6 as a precaution. I've also tried to remove everything that interfaces with MS Word - PrinToPDF comes to mind, as well as all non-original fonts.
I'm puzzled by one thing, which may be nothing but a curiosity, and it may have to do with the way I'm installing MS Word in an attempt to overcome this issue. As you know, Office 2001 provides you with a number which you need to retain upon installation. My original number, then, becomes superceded with each install; in other words, the last 4 numbers changes, out of the original 54092-XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXX number provided. A number shows up on the initial lauch window; the problem I detect is that this number isn't the number given at the last install, but the ORIGINAL number I was given when the program was originally installed. This 'suggests' that perhaps the problem is with MS Word itself, as you'd think the program at lauch would recognize the new ID number given when the program files are re-installed using custom install. As an aside, I originally tried to do a 'drag and drop install of the Office 2001 folder, as suggested on the install disk; the system read the item numbers and gave me a 'preparing to copy' message and a spinning beach ball for 20 minutes before I was more or less forced to restart the computer with the reset button. I'm unsure this makes any difference, given that the program will launch with a boot disk, and all of the other modules will launch as they always have.
I'm appreciative of your help and comments. I didn't realize that this forum existed before, having been using a local MUG forum exclusively, and I suspect I'll use it a lot in the coming months as I coax an aging machine to continue working. This may be the first time in 20 years of Mac ownership that a technician might be called for, but I'm hoping for an easier solution.

Office 2001 for Mac

New user, so many questions.....
But to start, Bought a used ibook, after trying open office and not liking it much,m thought I would try to install a copy of office 2001 for mac that I got from a friend.
Tried to install and it says I need to run OS 9....
I don't have that, and this has always run OS X. Do I need to get a copy of OS ( in order to run this program, or is there an update I can download to make this compatible?
Just hate to have to buy another version of office if there is a simpler way to make office 2001 work....
Any help is appreciated.

It may be too similar to OpenOffice for your liking, but have you tried NeoOffice?

Installing Microsoft Office:mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition

I am trying to install Microsoft Office:mac 2004 student and teacher edition.
I don't know how to achieve this.
I have tried the Office Setup Assistant but it says "You can't open the application "Office Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
So, I assume I have to do the "Drag the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to your hard disk to install all Office components" option.
Being very new to iMac, my question is, "Where exactly do I drag it to? Which icon along the bottom or should it go somewhere else?
Any help would be great
Thanks

It will not work with Mountain Lion. You need Office 2011 for OS X.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain 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/Mountain 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.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Possible Issue with Latest Office 2001 Update

In the last few days my MB Air mid-2013 with Mavericks did an Office 2011 update to Version 14.3.9. Today I used it for the first time and Excel crashed each time I tried to use it. To get the job done I had to revert to the earlier build (version 14.3.8) from a backup and that appears to work normally.
I don't know if this is an issue with Mavericks or if the update to 14.3.9 would have crashed with ML, too. Nor do I know if Word would have crashed since I had to get the task in Excel done before an appointment.

Apparently cannot edit the above. Title should have Office 2011, not Office 2001

Running Office 98 or Office 2001 for the Mac with Leopard

Is it possible to run Office 98 or Office 2001 with Leopard?

Can run OS 9.2.2 along with Leopard and access the Office programs that way, and if so do you have to restart the computer to access OS 9.2.2 or can you just launch OS 9.2.2?

Office 2001/Dynamic Memory?

Do the programs in Office 2001 have Dynamic Memory while using OS 9.2?

Hi, HappyWarlock -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
Do the programs in Office 2001 have Dynamic Memory while using OS 9.2?
Probably not. I don't use Office, but the vast majority of programs in OS 9 do not have the ability to use dynamic memory allocation; a couple of exceptions are the OS itself (Finder), and SimpleText.
You can change the allocation for the programs in Office manually; the number to change is the Preferred allocation amount.

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?
Will one have to reinstall after the Lion upgrade?

Office 2001 will not work with Lion. That is a Power PC App which is no longer supprted in Lion. You should upgrade to Office 2011, Apple iWork, or Open Office.
