Why can't i open Microsoft word since I downloaded the LION

My Microsoft 2004 does not work with the new Lion. Is this true?

Thanks -- will do. But if I want to save a bunch of old e-mails that are in Entourage, can you think of a way for me to do that? I.e., I could presumably somehow dump Lion (I would guess by trashing my hard drive) and reinstalling everything from a pre-Lion Time Machine back-up, then convert select e-mails to a Word file. I could upgrade Word to Mac 2011 and then reinstall Lion some time in the future. (I assume I'd have to pay for it again, but hopefully I'm wrong.) Thoughts? BTW, I don't actually know the steps involved to delete my hard drive and reinstall from a Time Machine back-up, and will probably call AppleCare for help walking me through that.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

After down loading os 10.7, I can no longer open microsoft word

After down loading os 10.7, I can no longer open microsoft word

No, your old Word files should still be where you left them and can be opened by either a current version of Office:mac or even Apple Pages (more or less). The problem that you are having (we think) is that you are trying to run an older version of Microsoft Office:mac (e.g. Office:mac 2004 or older) and this software was compiled for a PowerPC processor. The last few versions of the Mac OS has allowed PowerPC programs to run on an Mac with an Intel processor through a translation system called Rosetta that converted PowerPC code to Intel code. However, Apple stopped providing that software in 10.7 so any PowerPC applications will no longer run.
Office:mac 2008 and Office:mac 2011 will run on an Intel-based Mac and therefore will run on 10.7.

CAN'T OPEN MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENTS AFTER DOWNLOADING MAVERICK

I downloaded Maverick OS X 10.9.3 and now I can't open my Microsoft Word documents! HELP!!
The message I receive when trying to open a document read: You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
I wish I knew this before I upgraded to Maverick. It happened to my iphotos as well but after purchasing new software for iphoto, I have been able to retrieve my photos.
I hope I don't have to do the same for my documents.
Thanks

I wouldn't recommend buying the boxed version of Office 2011. A new version of Office is coming out in a few months and you'll be stuck with old software. The next version of Office will be subscription only. You can buy Office 365 now and it will automatically upgrade you for free when the new version comes out. This is a monthly fee.
If paying monthly is not an option for you, you can also look at buying Office 2008. While it's End of Life software like Office 2004 (this means it will receive no further updates) it will run in Mavericks with only a few minor glitches. You might be able to buy Office 2008 at a more reasonable price. Otherwise I would like at LibreOffice or OpenOffice that Esquared mentioned above.

Why can't I use Microsoft Word in Mavericks?

While installing Mavericks I got a message saying I've got Microsoft Word and Excel on my machine and these will not run with Mavericks installed. So I cancelled the installation. Is this the norm or could there be something wrong with my Microsoft Office program?
Any suggestions appreciated.

You are at the latest version of OS X that will run your version of Office. OS X 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 (Mavericks) will not work. Depending on your hardware you might want to consider an upgrade to Office 2011. The price is no where near what it was when you purchased your version of Office.

Why can't I open PDF's since installing OSx 10.9.4 on my Mac?

Ever since I installed the latest version of OSx I have been unable to open, view or print PDF's. I have downloaded Abode Reader XI (version 11.0.07) a few times but still no luck. I have had to load Firefox on my desktop as an alternative browser, frustrating as I liked Safari.
Any ideas??

Why can't I open my employer email after downloading 4.0

After downloading 4.0, I can no longer open emails on my employers system.(lotus notes) I get a message that the Domino Web Access can't respond to my request.

If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to 3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
Numbers 2.3 Numbers 3.0
Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files. If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

Why can't i open my document? I have the latest version but it is telling me I need the latest version.

I have Pages, created a document in it LAST NIGHT and today it will not open, advising that I need to have the latest version of Pages to open. I have the latest version and it STILL won't open! Help! Thanks!

You leave us to guess what you think is the "latest version".
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

How do I make Word documents to open in Word automatically after downloading the way they used to before I chose "Do this automatically with all files of this type?"

I teach online, and my students post Word files to a Gradebook where I can click on the link and download their papers. Recently, because I got tired of having to tell Firefox what to do, I checked the box that tells it to open all Word documents with Word automatically. Now, it downloads the files, but they don't open in Word anymore, so I have to go to Downloads and open them manually. I don't know why this changed--I thought I was saving myself time. Going to Applications doesn't work--it says, when I type in Word documents (that doesn't appear in the list unless I type it), that I've chosen "Always ask." But when I click on the link, I don't get that old dialog box anymore! Help!
