Office Mac 2004 S and T edition - Word - formatting palette disappears!

Open word document, click on 'formatting palette' in the toolbar, and lo! it 'genies' down and disappears off the bottom of my screen!
I've tried changing the screen settings, 'resetting' the toolbars, even uninstalling and reinstalling Office 2004, but all to no avail. It has only just started to do this, and is proving to be dashed annoying.
Does anyone have any pointers?
Many thanks...

Since Office is not an Apple product you'd probably be better off posting your question on MIcrosoft's own forums for Mac Office, as they would be more focused on the issue than an Apple forum about compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows:

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.

Issues between Microsoft Office:mac 2004 (Student) and Korean Language

I use Microsoft Office:mac 2004 student edition on my iMac. For a Korean class I'm taking I type in Korean on Microsoft Word for Mac 2004 (student edition) and as to be expected Word indecates the spelling is wrong. I have tried to change the proofing setting so Word will Proof in Korean but I have been unsucessful. What can I do (or get or download) to get Word for Mac to proof Korean? If you think you may be able to help me but you find his message to be somewhat hard to understand please email me at [email protected] and I will to explain my issue more clearly.

Best ask in the newsgroups which MS runs for its products:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
Are you sure the stuff you want exists? My info is that Office 2004 comes with proofing tools for English, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, German, Danish, Swedish, Portuguese, Finnish, and Dutch. No Korean or Chinese.

I have Office:mac 2004 and it won't download on my new MacBook Air. Is it too old? It says PowerPC applications are no longer accepted.

I have old Office:Mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition from my previous MacBook and it won't download onto my new MacBook Air via external optical drive and says that PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Am I stuck bying the newer version or is there a way around the software issue so I don't have to spend more money. Thanks for your help.

You can purchase Offce 2011 from MacMall for about $99 so it is well worth the money. As said in a previous post by Kappy, you can try one of the free office suites available. They can read Office files and can save documents in Office format. Apple's iWork is also a good ffice suite afavilable from the App Store by download. I have used Open Office,Libre Office and Neo Office and have liked each one of them. Neo Office has the closest match to Apple operating systems - it just feels like an Apple program. Open Office and Libre Office are also very good choices and dont have much of a learning curve at all.

No. It won't work.

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.

Is there a way to install office:mac 2004 on 10.9.2

I have a macbook pro osx 10.9.2 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3....never used it til now...my VAIO was just stolen...I have a student version of office:mac 2004 never installed before...is there a way to use it? (says it's not supported) I tried to load OPEN OFFICE and used it to type a few letters...but it completely disappeared from the computer when I i used the computer next time??? I need to do simple word processing????? Help!

jacksax --
That version of Office is too old to work on 10.9. (or 10.8 and possibly 10.7).
When you "tried to load" Open Office, did you actuallly install it? To do that, you drop it inside of the Applications folder on your hard drive. It could be that you just used it from the desktop, and didn't actually install it.
To make sure it's not there, click anywhere on desktop, and press the Command key along with the letter " f " key.
In the resulting pane, type in OpenOffice. Are there any results?

Microsoft Office:Mac 2004 under Yosemite

I know it's very (very) old, but I've been happily running Microsoft Office:Mac 2004 under Snow Leopard and am finally in a position to upgrade to Yosemite. I've found workarounds for all my other important legacy software but was wondering if it's even remotely possible to run Word:Mac 2004 and Excel:Mac 2004 under the new OS?

HT1338 office mac 2004 download issues onto iMac

I traded my macbook for an iMac and am having a problem downloading my office mac 2004 to my new computer. I have the product keys.

What will work depends on what you want to do.
A) Do you need Mountain Lion (10.8.x). That is, do you have newer software which will not in Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and you had to upgrade to a newer version of OS X. This would include iCloud, which only exists for Lion (10.7.x) or Mountain Lion.
B) You have no real need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
If A, then:
1) As MlchaelLAX suggests, you can run Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMWare. Apple is currently selling Snow Leopard Server for only $20 to accommodate users who must maintain the use of older PowerPC software. Once you have the VM software installed, you then install SL Server within the VM. The end result is you have two versions of OS X running at the same time. Mountain Lion as the host OS, and Snow Leopard in the VM. You can then install Office 2004 within the VM under SL Server.
Be aware of cost and time. The cost of Parallels and SL Server isn't going to be all that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011. Be aware there are two versions. The more expensive Office 2011 Business Edition includes Outlook (replaces Entourage). The Home/Student version does not.
If B, then:
Restore your last backup to put your Mac back to Snow Leopard and leave it there. If you don't have a backup, you'll need to first backup any files you cannot lose, since reinstalling Snow Leopard will require erasing the drive.

Question on Office Mac 2004 - Is this the right forum?

If there's another forum for Office Mac 2004 I was not able to find it.
I'm having trouble with Entourage rules. I imported all my mail from Apple Mail into Entourage with no problems. I created folders for the accounts just like I had in Apple Mail. I made rules to move the mail to each accounts folder. The problem is I want to run the rules now but I don't see anywhere that it says "run rules" or something like that to run them. Is there a way to run rules on existing mail in the inbox?
Thanks.

On your friend's computer with an internet connection, log into the Mac App Store with your ID and download Yosemite from the Purchases section of the Mac App Store. The make a bootable USB install media using

Then boot from that on your computer and install

Microsoft Office:Mac 2004

I just bought my mom a new iMac w/Leopard and was setting it up for her. I had an extra install for Microsoft Office:Mac left and wanted to install it on her computer for her. I seemed to have some trouble and had to make a few attempts to successfully install it but it finally did. Now when I go to open Word, Powerpoint or Excel a message pops up that says "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework Library". What does this mean? What do I do to correct it? I already tried to uninstall and reinstall it a couple times and it still occurs. The programs open and seem to work so far but don't know when a problem will occur. Any suggestions? My mom is used to this program and not interested right now in changing?

If you are going to follow the Microsoft EULA, I believe you are only allowed two active installs, and I know you agree that they will not be used at the same time.
I'll be honest, I think you would be better served buying mom a copy of the home/education Microsoft 2008 and installing that on her computer. If she is going to write to others with older versions of Word show her how to save in an older format.
If you are going to try to install the 2004, remove your first install using the 2004 install disk, reinstall, and immediately update the software. Just be sure you and mom don't set Autoupdate to run at the same time or you will be hearing from MS.
