Why does microsoft office stop working after OS lion

I just recently downloaded OS Lion 10.7.3 and now I can't use my Microsoft Office suite.  I get a error message "You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." 

Office 2008 and 2011 both work with Lion. 
You are likely running Office 2004 which is no longer supported on Lion.

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work with mountain lion?

    Was wondering if Microsoft Office 2011 works with Mountain Lion since the 1997 version does not.

    Okay, I will try that.  It looks like I have installed it twice already.  An obvious novice. I will do it again though.

  • Does Microsoft Office 2011 work in OS Lion?, Does Microsoft Office 2011 work in OS Lion?

    My IT program needs Microsoft Office and it works on Windows. So I've had to adapt to how ti works on Mac but if it doesn't on OS Lion I'm stuffed. I wont be able to do homework, assignments or anything.

    Here's a novel idea - people have gone to the trouble to post lists and tables of Lion compatibility, tips on finding what programs used Rosetta / PowerPC and therefore would need upgraded.

  • Does Microsoft Office 2007 work with OS Lion 10

    Does Microsoft Office for Mac 2007 run on the new OS Lion?

    If you mean Office 2004, no.
    If you mean Office 2007, it's a Windows product.
    If you mean Office 2008, yes.

  • Why does #{param.testParam} stop working after a pageDefinition is created?

    Hi there,
    Environment:
    JDeveloper 11.1.1.7
    Setup:
    I have a task flow with a simple view that takes one input page parameter, namely
      <task-flow-definition id="simpleTaskFlow">
        <view id="view1">
          <page>/my/test/view/myView.jsff</page>
          <input-page-parameter>
            <from-value>#{param.testParam}</from-value>
            <to-value>#{pageFlowScope.testParam}</to-value>
          </input-page-parameter>
        </view>
      </task-flow-definition>
    My page fragment /my/test/view/myView.jsff then just simply tries to af:outputText the input parameter:
    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
              xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
        <af:outputText value="#{pageFlowScope.testParam}" id="ot1"/>
    </jsp:root>
    Problem
    All is good UNTIL I generate a page definition for the page fragment, the input page parameters that I have set fail after this. I think it is a problem with #{param.testParam}.
    I can access it via the page definition using a parameter who's value is #{param.testParam}, e.g.
      <parameters>
        <parameter id="testParam" value="#{param.testParam}"/>
      </parameters>
    and then use #{bindings.testParam} in my page fragment instead
    BUT that I want to avoid, can anyone advise on why this is so? And can I still get #{param.testParam} from a view with a page definition?
    Regards

    Hi,
    this may have to do with the partial data fetching, which basically issues follow-up requests to fetch data. However, a view in a bounded task flow should not read parameters from the request. Instead the task flow should have an input parameter passing this information into the pageflow bean

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

    does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

    ...since upgrading from a Macbook pro to a retina pro (with the latest OS) I cannot get Outlook to work, it freezes when I try to add my email accounts info...
    The latest OS is 10.8.2. You've posted in the Lion (OS 10.7.x) forum.
    ...I don't have a clue what can be going wrong, it was all working fine on my macbook pro with Snow Leopard and the same setup is not working with Mountain Lion on the retina, ...The only reason I upgraded from Office 2008 was because I couldn't get it to stop closing down every few seconds with 'a problem'...
    Different operating systems canNOT be the "same setup."
    In my original installation of Office 2011 on a 2007 MBP with OS 10.6.8, I followed the guidelines Tips for a Successful Install. In launching Outlook 2011 for the first time, it recognized that I had Entourage 2004 and I was chose the option to have all the data transferred to Outlook 2011. While that was well over a year ago, I'm fairly certain that I did not need to manually set up my multitude of existing email accounts. Subsequently, I've added new accounts. A couple of months ago, I got a new mid-2012 MBP (non-retina) with OS 10.7.4. I used Pondini's advice , which I found here in the Apple Support Community for OS 10.7, to setup the new MBP from the old MBP with Setup Assistant. Afterwards, I manually installed my applications. I am certain that I did not need to manually setup any email accounts when I launched Outlook 2011.
    That said, if you did not fix the problem that you were experiencing with Office 2008 (and more specifically Entourgage 2008) but migrated that data to your new rMBR, then your problem may lie within the old data. You have not provided information on how you installed Office 2011, if your setup of Outlook is as new or datea ported from Entourage, and what troubleshooting steps you have tried. As Kurt Lang suggested, the Microsoft Community would be best with your specific issues as stated.

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

    Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
    Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
    Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work)

    Apple, now loosing old supporters and customers ? Or am I getting too old ?
    A 4 year old Macbook Pro should run Lion. Unless its a CoreDue and not a Core2Duo. Remember that PPC computers can not even run Snow Leopard. This was when Apple announced that support for PPC programs would be phased out. Office 2004 is almost 8 years old now. Twice as old as your computer you say needs to be replaced. I can't believe people rush in to install a new system without doing a little bit of research, and the dropping of Rosetta to run old PPC programs was well advertised if you read up on Lion, as was the introduction of Mission Control and Versions. I even read up about them, and I'm not a professional like some who come here. May pay to remember to research in future releases.
    Good Luck
