Which microsoft office suite do i purchase for my mac

Hello All
I need to purchase microsoft word for my mac air. I would be happy with just word but would be more pleased having excel as well. There are so many and I do not know which one to buy! I just want the normal word!

You don't use the App Store for either of them
For LibreOffice go to http://www.libreoffice.org
Tiy LibreOffice first. It is free and if it doesn't satisfy your needs you can alway delete it and get MS Office later.
For MS Office go to Microsoft

No. Buy it from Microsoft's website or a physical store.

After installing Lion, my microsoft office suite doesn't work anymore, and show this message: Application Power PC no longer available. How can I resolve it?

Is there any possibilty to recover the use of my Microsoft Office suite, which doesn't work anymore after installing Lion?
The programs display this error message: "no puede abrir la aplicación Microsoft Excel (o any other) porque las aplicaciones Power PC ya no son compatibles"
thanks for your help

You will need to upgrade your suite of MS programs.
Older suites, like MS Office 2004, use program versions written for Macs with PPC processors. In order to use those apps in pre-Lion OS's on an Intel-processor machine, it was necessary to install Rosetta, software designed just for the purpose of using PPC-apps on an Intel machine.
Unfortunately, Lion does not support Rosetta, so those apps no longer work.
Solution - update them to a version which will work in Lion, such as the MS Office 2008 suite, or newer if available.

Installing Microsoft Office Suite, and error message re: StuffIt Expander

Hi,
I recently tried to install Microsoft Office Suite (Office2001-906UpdateEN.bin) on my computer, but keep getting an error message saying "Sorry, but this version of StuffIt Expander requires version 6.5 or newer of the StuffIt Engine. Error -43" I have StuffIt Lite 6.5.1 in my Applications folder, which includes StuffIt Expander. However, when I try opening StuffIt Expander, I get an identical error message. Can anyone help?
(FYI, since erasing my hard disk and reinstalling my applications recently, I've experienced other problems, too, such as AppleWorks' spell-check function not working, and MacLink no longer being available. I don't know if any of these problems are related -- and/or if I just made mistakes in reinstalling?)
Thanks.

Hi, Elizabeth -
You should be able to download the newer version of Stuffit Expander, since downloading does not involve unstuffing. Once the download has been received, your browser may be trying to invoke the version of Stuffit Expander that's on your drive in order to automatically unstuff it for you - and that's what is causing the message to be displayed.
Look for the uncompressed download, probably in a .sit or .sit.hqx format.
Then insert your latest OS 9 Install CD, and locate the Aladdin Software folder. For install CDs for OS 9.1 and later, that will here - (CD) >> Software Installers >> Aladdin Software. For install CDs for OS 9.0.4 and earlier, it will be here - (CD) >> Software Installers >> Internet Access >> Aladdin Software. Dig into the Aladdin Software folder, and you'll find an uncompresssed copy of Stuffit Expander, v. 5.5 or v. 6.0. Copy that version to the Hard drive.
Then drag the icon of the freshly downloaded (and still compressed) newer version of Stuffit Expander onto the icon of the older version of Stuffit Expander, and let go when the icon highlights - it should then be decompressed without problem.
Once that is done, run the installer for the new version.

Is there an app on the iPad that resembles Microsoft Office? I need it for school. If there is please let me know. Thanks :-)

The basic apple equivalent to ms office is called i works, which has three components. Pages is word, numbers is xl, and keynote is powerpoint. There are many subtle differences, but the are more or less functionaly equivalent.
There are also a number of third part apps available to replicate office functions, such as good reader, docs to go, and my favorite, quick office. Read the reviews in the app store and pick the one that will do what you need.
You will also get some other suggestions here.

Install Snow Leopard on another boot partition, or upgrade Microsoft Office to a newer version, or use any number of better alternatives. Some of them are free.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10)
OpenOffice (completely free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.

What happened to the Microsoft Office suite when I loaded Lion?

I loaded Lion operating system last night and rushed without reading all of the fine print. After the Lion was loaded I received a notice that Microsoft Office Suite was not supported. My questions are, 1) Can Lion support the Microsoft Office Suites (maybe a newer version) 2) Can I return to the previous Operating System?
Never mind!
Thanks

1. Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 & 2011 versions support OS X Lion
2. Yes, you can downgrade to Snow Leopard if you have up-to-date Time Machine backups, however I won't recommend you to do that.
Over the weekend Microsoft published a knowledge base article that outlines some known issues with Office for Mac on OS X 10.7. Overall, if you have Office 2004 and rely on it, then do not upgrade to OS X Lion until you have an alternative Office version installed (2008 or preferably 2011). Office 2004 is PowerPC code, and as with Intuit's Quicken 2007 and earlier versions, if you install Lion then you will not be able to launch Office 2004.

About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.).

About to update to Snow Leopard from Leopard, however, I was told that I will lose access to Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc.). First, is this true? Second, how have others addressed this lost (i.e. other software programs)? The cheaper the software package the better with FREE being the ideal.

If you install Snow Leopard, make sure during the install to open the Optional install items. You must turn Rosetta on, which is not installed by default (necessary to run older PowerPC apps such as Office 2004). If you miss the installation of Rosetta, it can still be installed after the fact a couple of ways.

Microsoft Office Suite

I have a late 2008 Macbook running Maverick 10.9.3. I have Micosoft Office items I can no longer open. What version, if there is one, of Microsoft Office Suite for Teachers can I install to open these files?

OK, so I installed this a few days ago, and now I realize that my calendar has stopped working!?!?
When I check it, ALL my calendar stuff is gone?!?!
I resync with Nokia Suite, tell me that it has now "added" all my dates, but they are not there???
I check calendar again, nothing...
So I tried to remove the MS App, and it says it is gone, but I still have some MS stuff on the phone and the calendar still doesn't work?!??!
How do I get MS Apps off my phone?
HELP!!!!!! Please... I need my calendar back....

My Microsoft Office Suite has disappeared and none of my files will open. What do I do?

I opened up my iMac this morning and for some reason my Microsoft Office suite for Mac had completely disappeared with no trace. Consequently, I can't open any Word related files that I have saved (a box opens saying that Word cannot be found and to re-install it). Unfortunately, I can't find my original software as I have moved recently.
Any suggestions? Do I have to buy a new Office package?

You can restore from your backup however you may need the software key that comes with the original software. If you have not been backing up well now you see why you are supposed to!

Just installed Lion. MNow my Microsoft Office suite won't work What's wrong

I just installed Lion. Now my Microsoft Office Suite won't work. What's wrong ??

If you had used the search box in the upper right of this page you could have answered this question on your own.
You have a few options: restore back to Snow Leopard from the backup you made before you installed Lion; upgrade to Office for Mac 2011; install Pages from the Mac App Store; use TextEdit; install one of the many open source Office replacements that can found.

Microsoft Office suite knocked out

I didn't realize my Microsoft Office suite would get knocked out by the Lion and/or iCloud upgrade. How do I get it back? Thanks!

Sounds like you have Office 2004 or older. 2008 or 2011 work fine in Lion.

What are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac

what are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac?

While I can't recommend any brand of camera, you should consider a couple of things about the editing... iMovie 8 is a good program to use if you just need to create something quickly with little real editing and sound manipulation. And iM 8 will interface with both DV tape cameras as well as hard disk/flash drive types as well. You can export the product to web services, etc very easily but it will take some extra effort to create a DVD from the edited shots. There is no direct export to iDVD.
If you want to get more serious about editing, you should consider looking iMovie 6 as it has much more flexibility in rearranging clips, adding and editing sounds, etc. However, it will only interface with DV tape cameras, which by the way, are the highest quality pics available, and you can create DVD disks.
You might try borrowing a tape camera to make a test run and compare it to a camera that uses a HD for storage. Use iM 8 and compare to ease, etc, and the product to one created in iM 6. This certainly is not the kind of recommendation you are asking for, but maybe will help in making your decision about which way to go.

Does iWork for iOS allow me to open and edit documents created in the Microsoft Office suite?

Hi all,
I have just purchased an iPad 2 32Gb. I want to be able to use it for work.
I need to be able open and edit documents created in Microsoft Office. Primarily .doc and .docx files. Is this possible? or am I better with D2 or Documents to Go.
Also, can I save a document attachment from an email and open it on my iPad for reviewing and editing?
Cheers

Yes, "pages.app" will open these files. In the same manner "numbers.app" will open xls,xlsx and "keynote.app" will open powerpoint files.
iwork09 files from a Mac can also be opened. And you can save each files back in various file formats, also save them as pdf.
Also, can I save a document attachment from an email and open it on my iPad for reviewing and editing?
Yes. "open in .." then a suitable app is in the list : say you get a docx, then pages will be presented as app to open it.
Cheers
Mr Bunyip?
Enjoy it.
