Office 2004 on OS X 10.2
Hi folks. I have an old iMac G3, 333 MHz, 128 ram, 6 gig (tray loading). I've brought a new 80 gig hd, 2 X 256 ram and a version of OS X 10.2 for it. I have just gotten a copy of Microsoft Office 2004 for the system but when I try to install it the mac says that I can only install office on OS X 10.2.8. Is there a way I can get round this? Or do I need an older version of office to run on it?
iMac G3 (333 MHz) Mac OS X (10.2.x)
There is a free upgrade from 10.2 to 10.2.8 at:

Can I restore Office 2004 from Time machine backup
Hi Guys,
I have managed to delete office 2004 when I was trying to install office 2008 using a friend's copy. Office 2008 will not work for me as it needs online registration.
I no longer have the office 2004 install disk. Is it possible to re-install office 2004 from my time machine backup. I can see it is available in the backup from before yesterday but not sure if I try to restore what will happen.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
PaulHi PaulieHK,
Open Finder on you original view desktop.
No go to Application folder and select the Office 2004.
NOW, select the Time Machine icon in the dock and it will bring you back in history.
You can go back before you tried to install Office 2008.
Select IN Time Machine the application Office 2004 and click on PUT BACK.
Time machine will now put back the situation as it was before the installing Office 2008.
When you see your original desktop again try to open Office 2004.
Good luck ...

I have a MacBook Pro from '07 with 1 GB of memory. The battery is shot and my AppleCare has run out. I just upgraded the OS to 10.6.8. But a few questions:
1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11 because I can generate pdf's from Word. Roughly how much RAM does Office '11 take up?
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
ANY help would be sooo appreciated! Thanks.1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
If you're asking how to check to see if you need more RAM, open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory tab, then compare page outs and page ins. If page outs is 10% or more of page ins, you probably need more RAM.
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
There's no limit on the number of battery cycles, it's just that the more cycles you've used the more "worn out" your battery gets. You've got a 4-year-old machine, and if it's still got the original battery, it's probably about time for a replacement battery. You can check battery health using System Profiler... look at the Power section under Hardware.
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11
You don't need Office 2011 to create PDFs. Any application capable of printing can create PDFs on a Mac. Just choose File -> Print, but instead of clicking the Print button in the print dialog, click the PDF button and choose Save As PDF in the menu that appears.
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
I'll "ditto" sig's answers to these.
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
If Office 2004 is still working fine for you, stick with that and don't incur the costs of Office 2011. As to the RAM, only add more if the test I mentioned above indicates that you need it. If you buy more RAM when you don't really need it, you won't see much (if any) performance improvement. That just leaves the battery... and if the machine is still doing what you need it to do and you don't really need a new machine for anything, you could definitely buy a new battery and get a few more years out of it. -
Why is Mac Office:2004/2008 acting strange?
After I upgrade to Lion 10.7.3 over a month or so, I experience problems with some of my documents in Word or Excel. The Excel opens to READ only and I am the only pperson that has the priviledge for it. Also when I go to leave a cell, the curson locks on the cell and grabs everthing in the path I move my mouse. I try to click it loose and nothing happens. After a while I do get back control of the document, but again it begins to behave strangely.
In my Word documents, I would be typing and all of a sudden the curson is some other place on the page inserting my input in the wrong place.
I have spent hours on the phone with the tech support people with Microsoft and Apple, but no one seems to be able to have my errant software work properly. In my furstration I purchased the 2011 version of Mac Office. I stll have the same problems after installing it.
I just realized also that when I did an upgrade of the MS Mac Office:2004 to 2007, I continued to save my documents in the 2008 version, but selected the 2004 format to save them. I understand that 2004 will not even open in the Lion OS X. So I am beginning to think I may have created an anomoly by intergrating the two versions while in the Lion OS X version. Does anyone have any nsight to this?
Also as part of my frustration with this software proble, I am not able to restart or shut down my Mac Mini from the drop down menu. The wheel just spins and spins for minutes and minutes, so I finally do a power shut down. The restart it by pressing the power button again to turn it on. Any clue to fix this problem.
My Mac Mini is a 2009 vintage. I am not an extremely knowledgable computer person. I need help. Thanks!I have contacted them many many times. For two days I waited on the phone for over 1 1/2 hours. All total I have been on the phone with them over 6 hours and they are not able to find any problems with what I am experiencing. Thus I fell there is something with the Lion OS X that is the main source of this glitch. Thanks for your input.

First of all, welcome to the Apple discussions.
Did you try the MS discussion forum?
Do a google search, as I did for you> an type 'powerpoint discussion forum' there are a lot of forums to search.
I use Powerpoint myself a lot, but had never any issues to deal with.
Let me know if so ...
Discussions is a ongoing process. Hope to see you around anytime you need us, or can offer help to others.

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Unable to download Office 2004 11.2.3 update
I keep getting notices from Microsoft that an 11.2.3 update for Office 2004 is available. However, after downloading this patch on my 56K modem twice, at 5 hours a shot and after several broken attempts, when I've then tried to install it on the HD I get an error message that says I "do not have the platform needed to install this program." My OS is 10.3.9, which it should work with.
I don't understand why 11.2.3 wouldn't consider 10.3.9 acceptable. I've looked at my About Word info to see whether, maybe in an alternate universe, I already downloaded and installed Office 11.2.3, but all it says is that I have Word Version 11.2, which I guess could be anything from 11.2.1 to 11.2.3.
My questions are:
(a) Can I find out whether I already have 11.2.3 without knowing it? (In which case I think the error message should say, "You already installed this; what are you, Rip Van Winkle?")
(b) If--as I deeply believe--I never installed 11.2.3, can anyone tell me why it would refuse to install itself on a platform it's supposed to like?
(c) Do I really need it anyway? I see from other people's posts that Powerpoint seems to develop problems with 11.2.3, and I use only Word, which has been pretty stable in Office 2004 for Mac and rarely freezes or crashes. So maybe I should resist trying to fix what isn't broken? I would be happy not to have a reason to download 11.2.3, except that I'm afraid I may be missing something important. (Like screwing up Powerpoint.)
Thanks very much for any suggestions.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 15"The updates are not cumulative. You need to download
and install each update from 11.2.1 thru 11.2.3.
Kappy: I tried downloading and installing 11.2.1, with the plan to download and install the other two if 11.2.1 worked. And the program verified upon completion that the installation was successful. However, when I tried to trash the 11.2.1 installation folder as instructed, I got an error message saying that I "did not have sufficient privileges" for the maneuver, and when I opened Word to see what version of Office 2004 I had now, it just said 11.2, not 11.2.1. So I guess my efforts to keep up with modern technology are doomed after all.
On the other hand, since I'm a home-office user and the only one using the application (i.e., I'm the Administrator, but not on an Exchange), I guess there's no harm in not having the updates. Since the issues the three patches resolve seem to be mainly Exchange issues, I don't really need them. But I do appreciate the helpful information from you and Bob Gold--thanks very much.

Anyone using office 2004 for mac,please help!
Dear all,
i know this is probably the wrong place for this post,but i've always been able to find my answers here..so genuine apologies in advance
i bought office 2004 for my macbook a few months back..i'm able to open word,excel etc no problems...but when i am typing in word on a regular document..my spellcheck does not work..even where there is obvious spelling problems,it does not highlight it with a red line underneath...when i run a spell chenck,it tells me its complete and the spelling and grammer are complete,when they are obviously not!!
in the compatibilty report it tells me that that word cannot identify text language...when i select language dialog box and english (uk)nothing changes
I've also just realised that when i type in a word notebook document,spell check works!?!??!
Anyone any ideas,i have a dissertation due for college in a few days and i need it to work!!!
again apologies if this is out of order posting here,
regards,
Paulhow do i uninstall office completely???
Before you do an uninstall you may want to test your preference files for corruption. There are three which can become corrupeted, but probably only the first two will be of issue.
Quit Word and any other Office Applciations.
Browse to your User home account and locate the following files:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Word.prefs.plist
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Office.prefs.plist
(the third has to do with fonts and I don't think that is at issue)
Drag these to your desktop and relaunch Word. Word will re-create these files.
If all works as it should you can trash these files. You will probably have to reset some preferences and Autocorrect settings. Be careful of what you reset as that may have been the cause of the issue.
If this does not work you may replace the newly created files with the ones you dragged to the desktop, or you may try re-installing Office.
If you want to completely remove Office and attempt a re-install to see if it corrects the problem: The uninstaller is located in HD/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools/Remove Office.
I understand that you are in a timecrunch with your paper being due. I am sure with enough troubleshooting that you can and will find a solution to the Office problem. If the above steps do not work, however, you may also want to have a look at the free NeoOffice suite to get your paper done in the meantime.

I am not including the link as a means of trying to pawn off the problem as I think any problem is ultimately fixable, but it may give you an option to meeting your deadline. -
Office 2004 crashes in Leopard when using File print option.
Office 2004 apps all crash when I try to print using File>print but they will print if I just use the printer icon. Any ideas?? I have updated Office to 11.3.9 and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. BTW, the printer is an HP Laserjet All-in-one model 3330. Everything else I've tried seems to print ok -- Safari, Adobe, Pages.
I would like to upgrade three other machines but I'm waiting until I get this print problem resolved.
Thanks.Well I feel sort of stupid, I was using the HP driver. Switching to either of the drivers supplied with Leopard fixed this problem. Thanks.

Word in Office 2004 OS 10.3.9 crashes every time I open a document...?
Hi,
I"m not sure this is the appropriate forum for this, but I thought I'd try here...
I've been running Office 2004 on my G4 for many with no problem. I do very little, occasional Word documents and some Excel. I've stayed at OS 10.3.9 for ages, since I'm stuck there because of my Pro Tools hardware. I change nothing with my system unless something goes wrong. At some point about six months ago, for no apparent reason, every time I tried to open any Word document on the Mac, I would get a message from Word saying that corruption was detected in the document, and would I like to attempt recovery. I click "Ok", then Word crashes. This happens on any and all Word documents. These documents open fine on other computers, Mac or PC. They are not corrupt. But I suppose something is? I Googled around and tried a fix deleting the "FontCache(11)" file from Microsoft/Preferences, but that didn't work. I installed the two major service packs for Office 2004. No go.
If anyone has any tips for what to try next I'd appreciate it! Thanks - SteveThere should be some kind of evidence of the cause of crashes, in general
within the system's Console utility; where logs of several types activity are
located. These may be hard to decipher since they are written in geek.
You may try something other than Office 2004, for the occasional document;
since Open Office or Neo Office is updated more often and they are free.
Also consider a second hard disk drive where a later OS X version can live.
Fonts may be a fair place to look; since they can be a cause of odd behavior.
However in an older system, other things may be at work to make a problem.
Not sure what else to say; except the symptom includes use of MS Office...
The Console logs (or in some cases, see System Profiler's log files) may
be a way to see if there are any clues left behind, from the crashes.
Do you have a backup clone of the computer and its contents? It may be
a good idea to take some time and investigate the issue(s) and maybe go
into the computer and do housekeeping. With a complete backup you could
check the computer's hard disk drives, and move everything on/off the Mac.
The holistic approach can help, if one has time to do several things at once.
And carefully, in any event...
Good luck & happy computing! -

I just installed the Lion operating system, basically to upgrade my iPhone. I didn't realize that my Microsoft Office 2004 application would no longer work. I have been using Word for my writing and I receive most of my emails with Word attachments. I have been using Apple products for years, always touting their reliability and customer service. I am not a techie, I just want to be able to do what I do on the computer and Apple always fulfilled my needs. Now I am told because of some operating system gobbledygook, I have to go out and purchase new software to use Word. This is despicable. I see no particular benefit to using Lion, but I do see a lot of detriments. Apple now seems to have turned into Microsoft, making software obsolete so they can make more money and to **** with the customer. You can be sure that my next computer will be a PC. I have completely lost confidence in Apple.
I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff. -
I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

To tell it from the beginning. I had a bootcamp partition. I erased the partition because I had wanted to increase it in size. So then when i tried to recreate the bootcamp partition i got errors saying I need to reinstall OS X because some files couldnt be found or moved or something. So I did. I reinstalled my Office 2004 (legal copy and all). and everything ran without problems.
then i finally decided to print something and i got the error that many people seem to have gotten. the solution they were given was to deleted this xerox or another plugin. i navigated to that correct folder and i had no such plugin (but i did this after uninstalling office 2004 because i was unaware of it). I know that other programs, like firefox, can print with this printer so its definitely something with word.
so then, after uninstalling it ive tried to reinstall it but the install wizard will not run. the icon will appear along the dock, hop a little bit, and then disappear and nothing will happen. since that wouldnt work, i manually coppied the files to my app folder and upon trying to open any program, had the same problem. the program would appear in the dock, hop for a few seconds then dissappear. i have searched with spoltlight and deleted ever office 2004 file on my computer but still no luck.
as a side night, a few days ago, before i encountered my printer problem (which might just be because i had yet to print anything in office programs) i installed fink and darwin ports. i have no idea how to remove anything that they may have done so they may be the cause.
any thoughts? thanks. i really need this back up and running for school.Since Office is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on the installation of OS X.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you. -
IMac G5 no longer able to use Microsoft Office 2004
I have had Microsoft Office 2004 installed on my G5 for several years but I am not able to access any of the Microsoft applications anymore. I get the following message when trying any of the Office applications: "Microsoft (Entourage, or whatever) has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It provides an error report that can be sent to Microsoft which I have done several times.
I did a verify using the installed disk utility app and received the following message: "Volume bit map needs minor repair Macintosh HD" "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit" "1 HFS volume checked" "Volume needs repair."
The installed Disk Utility doesn't allow me to click on REPAIR. I have 118 GB available. If I use the Disk Utility on the install disk will it allow me to do a REPAIR to the HD and can I mess up anything else?
Any help I can get will be appreciated. I have some important stuff on Word that I would hate to lose.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.In order for Disk Utility to work, it has to be on a differnet disk than the internal drive:
Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then reboot from your internal drive and repair permissions.
It will not mess up any of your data.

Office 2004 could not be opend because you do not have sufficient access...
I just created a second user acount on my imac. I went to go and open microsoft word.
On the folder there was a little red circle with a line it it. I clicked on the folder and got this message.
The folder "Microsoft Office 2004" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges.
What does this mean and how do I fix it?Select the folder in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and change the permissions in the Ownership & Permissions section so that all accounts have read and write access to that folder. You may need to change the folder's owner to your account first; if so, change it back when you've changed the permissions. Changing the permissions on other items in this folder may be needed.
