Why can;t i use word?

I had a current version of Office and now I can't use it after  getting lion. Please tell me this won;t cost more money, It telle me that power PC  is no longer supported.

The current version of Office is 2011. I presume that is not what you have.
Older versions will not work because they are Power PC applications, and Lion no longer supports PPC.
I'm afraid you'll have to upgrade to the latest version of Office.

  • Why can't I use word, excel etc after upgrading OS X lion ?

    Why can´t I use word,excel etc after upgrading too OS X Lion ?

    Office 2004 is a PowerPC app that requires Rosetta to run. Roseeta and thus all PPC aps are not supported on Lion. Further Office 2008's Installer is a PPC app. Office 2008 will run if installed before installing Lion, but you cannot install it from Original Office 2008 Media after installing Lion.

  • Why can't i use trial version to convert files to word?

    Why can't i use trial version to convert files to word?

    Symptom: I downloaded the trial of Acrobat Pro. But when I try to create a PDF or export a PDF, by using the Convert or Export button, I am asked to subscribe.
    Cause: You are mixing up two different products. Adobe Reader is the free PDF reader you had before and still have. Acrobat Pro is a DIFFERENT product and doesn't even have the Convert or Export buttons you are using (so, we can tell for sure you aren't actually using the demo you downloaded).
    Solution: quit Adobe Reader. Start Acrobat Pro (from START in Windows, or from Applications on Mac OS). You will see a product similar to Adobe Reader but able to do much more. Open PDF files with File > Open, NOT a double click. To export to other formats, use File > Save as... various options.

  • Why can't i use command F in Notes?

    Hi all, i recently upgraded my to a newer macbook. i used to be able to use command f to search my notes. i'm now using 10.8.2  and for some reason i can't search/find. i hit 'command f' i get the bleep sound. when i look at Edit > Find > Find, the word find is greyed out.
    what should i do? i've tried googling and searching for a solution but the work 'notes' is too broad and so it brings up loads of irrelevant stuff.
    thanks
    shane

    Hi, thanks but no good. can you see how the 'command f' function is greyed out in the image below? why can't i use that 'Find' function? the box you've identified does a broad brush search to see if any of my notes contain a word but don't identify where the words are within the note. i have some notes with 10's of thousands of words.
    does anyone know how i can use the traditional 'Find' function?

  • I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

    I just downloaded Lion, why can't I open Word?

    If they are all PPC-only applications, then yes. CS2 is incompatible with Intel machines. Not knowing how old your iMovie version is, but if it goes back to the same time period then it won't work either until you upgrade all the old software to Intel or Universal binaries from the respective developers.
    You can revert back as follows. Erase the drive and restore your Snow Leopard backup or:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

  • Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

    3-D is very memory intensive.
    System requirements | Photoshop
    Mac OS
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
    2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
    ** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
    Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

  • Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating.

    Why can't we use iTunes gift cards with family sharing? After Christmas, we now have lots of account credit we can't use. Very frustrating. There is no option found for using account credit.

    I just logged out of my daughter's account and back in, and now it works. Deducted from gift card account balance. So I hope this is resolved.

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

  • Why can't i use credit card on app store its money on it and its an visa card

    why can't i use credit card on app store its money on it and its an visa card

    Credit cards do need to be from the same country as your account, which may or may not apple, but if you're visiting from another country and trying to use, for example, a UK card in the US app store, it won't work.
    Could you have typo'd a number? Or could the card be expired?

    Is this a visa gift card? I seem to recall people having issues with credit card gift cards.
