Trying to install Office Mac 2011 on PowerBook G4 with PowerPC processor

...won't install and says it requires an Intel based processor...I guess this means I have to get a new processor if I want to run Office 2011? I am quite annoyed because the software package says NOTHING on the outside about this requirement. If it had, I wouldn't have spent over $100!

Why do you need Office 2011?
Office v.X served me perfectly well for the entire PowerPC era.

It might be easier to download the trial version from the microsoft site and then use the code off your box set to activate it.

I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
Thanks Dave

Hello Dave,
This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way. I suggest you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

Trouble installing Office Mac 2011

I am trying to download Office:Mac 2011 on my new MacBook Pro but keep getting pop up which says it cannot continue with the installation as Safari is open. We have disconnected from the internet but it still keeps telling me the same message. I have tried starting again etc but no joy. Please can someone help?

As Office is not an Apple product, you may get better help by posting this question in the Microsoft Office for Mac forums here:
http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/
Also, I did not know there is a downloadable Office for Mac source. Are you trying to get it from the Microsoft site or someplace else. If the later, it could be a pirated copy and potentially contain malware.

How do install Office: Mac 2011? I am getting an error message when I go to the page...

trying to install microsoft office: mac 2011 home and student. i am directed to a page and when i click on the link I get an error message about security. i don't have the option anywhere of entering the product key. not sure what to do.

You need to download the installer from Microsoft after you purchase it. Then you will have to run that application and it will request the product key as it goes thru the motions of setting up the product.
If you're trying to download an illegal version for free, that will explain the security message. The browser would be trying to protect you from yourself.

How to install office mac 2011

I am tying to install the office mac 2011 student thing, it installed but when i type in the key thing on the back it says that the one i type in is too much numbers and letters..

If the letters and numbers are separated by dashes or other punctuation, try ignoring them.

Installing Office Mac 2011 Home

I had Office Mac 2011 Home & Student on my MacBook Pro. I decided to uninstall, realized that was a mistake, and decided to reinstall. In the process of reinstallation Microsoft Outlook showed up on my Doc in Open mode. A window popped up and said I must close Outlook before installation can be fininshed. I right clidk on the icon, window with close option pops up, but when I try to close I am blocked from doing so. Any ideas how to close Outllook

Hello RSHead,
It sounds like you are not able to quit Outlook. In situations like this, where you are not able to quit an application from the menu, you may need to Force Quit the application:
To force quit an application, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu (or press Command-Option-Esc), then choose the unresponsive application in the Force Quit window, and click Force Quit.
Additionally, you can force quit the front-most application in Mac OS X v10.5 or later by pressing Command-Option-Shift-Esc for three seconds.
You can find the full article here:
Mac OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit

I have had a new mac pro. and i installed office mac 2011. however, whenever i try to start word, excel or powerpoint, it always appears 'what's new in Word: Mac 2011. what should i do?

i am using the Microsoft Word:Mac 2011. however, whenever i open the folder, it appeared "what's new in Microsoft Word: Mac 2011 and stay there forever. i can not do anything else. what should I do to create a new document or open an old ones?
thank you

Do you not have a Continue button at the lower right of that screen? Click it and the box will flip over. Click Cancel and shut down Word. Launch it again to get the same screen of document choices. You now have an check box at the bottom for "Don't show this when opening Word". Check the box if you prefer not to see this project manager, then click Cancel. The document manager will go away and you'll be presented with a blank document. This is way it will now always start.

Problem to install office mac

i'm trying to install office mac but it asks me to close safari. I have no safari window that is open... what do I have to do?, i'm trying to install office mac but it asks me to close safari. I have no safari window that is open... what do I have to do?

You need to force quit Safari. In Windows, just closing a window will shut down the program, but in a Mac, you have to physically shut down the program. It's open, but there are no active windows. To force quit, just hit Command-option-esc, highlight Safari, quit it.
If Safari is not open, then you have an issue with Microsoft Office, and you should take your question there. This community is for the MacBook Pro hardware.
