Will Lion support Word X for Mac from 2001?

It's worked up till now on every OSX including Snow Leopard.  Yes I guess I could use Open Office but all my friends are PC users and my daughters use Word at school so I don't want to lose Word otherwise a £20.99 OSX suddenly becomes another £110+ just to buy the latest version of Word.  Thanks.

No, only Word 2008 or 2011 are supported on Lion. Sorry

    Does Lion support MS Office for Mac 2011? The RoaringApps compatibility list shows Office 2011 having some unspecified problems with Lion. Any confirmation yest showing compatibility with Office 2011?

    I'm running MS Office 2011 on Lion and it runs just fine.  No "Full Screen", but it runs just fine.  There may have been an update to install (I know there was an iWork one anyway), but even before I installed any updates Office '11 worked just fine.

  • Word 2004 for mac purchase

    i just purchased word 2004 for mac from apple store online. am i to assume that i will be able to open word docs through my ISP that are attached to my emails ? and can i download only the specific apps (i.e., word, exel, etc.) that i want to use? as you can tell, i am not familiar with this. thank you!!

    If you purchased the entire Office 2004 package, you can opt not to install applications you don't want. Word 2004 will open Word documents attached to emails.

  • Unable to publish/export to word 2011 for Mac with Captivate 5

    Although it seems most of the previous posts were from previous years, i am still experiencing this issue with being unable to publish to word or export captions to word. I receive the same errors that other users report asking me to make sure Word is installed, which it is. I saw something about a hotfix, but didn't see a link. What do i need to do to resolve this issue?

    Just upgraded to 5.5 and am still experiencing the same issue with publishing to Word 2011 for MAC from Captivate. Can anyone help resolve this issue? This is functionality that i really need to use...of course...today!!

    Sorry for the goofed answer. Most people are looking to set the margins and I looked over that you were interested in the tabs.
    To save tabs in fixed positions that will appear with every new document, you must modify the default template. You can't open the template from the desktop. If you do, it will open as a standard document. You must open it from the Open dialogue box from within Word. With Word in the foreground, press Command+O and navigate to:
    /Users/your_account/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/
    Open the file Normal.dotm
    Set your tabs and save the file. Close the template. All new documents will now open with those preset tabs.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in notebook trying to record.

    i recently upgraded to Lion and i find that my computer is running slow and applications are crashing.  For example I have Word 2011 for Mac and it crashes all the time I end up losing my work.  It often happens when I'm in class using notebook and when I press record my computer starts thinking and it freezes.
    Also, I feel that it overheats often and my battery runs out pretty quickly.  I had the macbook (black) and this never happened before.  I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something with my computer.I bought my computer summer 2010, I don't think this should be happening. Please Help......

    This is exactly what keeps happening to mine too.  I was at a conference taking notes, and I was
    using the Notebook template, and doing some audio recording simultaneously.  About 3 hours into the conference (not consistently recording, but on and off with the sessions) my file wouldn't save anymore, saying something like "File cannot be modified while in use with another program" and "Invalid file name" when I would go back into my folder to look for it). I tried installing some updates from Microsoft, and when I restarted, I was at least able to open my old notes again, and so far it looks like the audio was working.  However, today at the conference, the same thing happened again, but I wasn't actively recording any audio (though after I had copy and pasted my second file of notes into the original, I went back to using it after re-naming it). 
    Does the crash happen to you under similar cirucumstances?  The update might help a little, but it is definitely not the solution.  Does anyone have any solutions?  Lion shouldn't be this buggy... I moved to Mac to get away from the garbage of bugs and compatibility issues...

  • How will mountain lion affect my office for mac 201111

    How will mountain Lion affect my office for Mac 2011

    I have been using Office for Mac 2011 for almost a year now and the issue started immediately after doing the upgrade.
    When I start Outlook I can see that it takes 1 minute plus to set up the identity.
    When it finally runs it is very slow and no fun to use. It seems that Outlook is using very few resources when I look at the activity monitor.
    Overall it seems that my IMac has become slower than before upgrading to 10.8.
    I do not have support with MSFT anymore and I do hope that somebody does report this issue to MSFT.
    To me it seems to be very clear a result of the upgrade.
    Hope that helps.

  • I'm using the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac so I can record a meeting as well as take notes. The audio of the internal microphone is so low - can I attach an external mic and have it work with note taking view?

    Can I attach an external mic to my Macbook Air to enhance sound input for the note taking view of Word 2011 for Mac? I've tried preferences to up the volume of my sound, but I still cannot hear the recording. Any suggestions? I need to record a meeting as well as take notes so I'd like to use this tool, but the audio is not good enough.

    A USB microphone can work with the Air, and I've used them before with my 11" Air.  Griffin also made a product (the iMic) that will add a standard computer microphone port, connecting to your USB port.  It's heyday was the time of the old iBook laptops (which also lacked a microphone in jack) but I think it's still around.
    The single sound port on the 2011 models, as I recall, supports iPhone style headphone/microphone but I don't believe it will support a standard microphone input. 
    The built in microphone sits on the left side of the computer and I suspect wouldn't work well for picking up a lecture unless you were sitting just right in position vs. the speaker (preferably having the speaker positioned to the left and sitting really close).  By design most laptop microphones presume they are going to be mainly used to record a sound coming from the person sitting at the keyboard, while for a lecture you normally would prefer it concentrate on sound coming from behind the screen.

  • How do I repaginate a PDF document in Word 2008 for Mac?

    I am trying to repaginate a PDF document made in Word 2008 for Mac, which I have uploaded to Scribd for public perusal.  Unfortunately, whatever I do to the settings for the document it always comes out in reverse order. (60 - 1 instead of 1 - 60)
    The problem is not with Scribd, as they just reproduce the document in the order in which it is sent.  Somewhere along the line, the pages are reordered. They are not numbered in the document. 

    Hi,
    Try this AppleScript :
    It will create a new PDF file (the name will be "the original Name + _reverse.pdf"), it reverse the pages order.
    Open the "AppleScript Editor" application.
    Copy/paste this text in the window :
    set a_PDF to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select a PDF file to reverse the pages order." without invisibles)
    do shell script "export VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
    /usr/bin/python -c  'import os, sys, Foundation
    from Quartz import *
    this_pdf = CGPDFDocumentCreateWithProvider( CGDataProviderCreateWithFilename( sys.argv[1] ))
    if this_pdf is None:
       print \"Error reading PDF document\"
       sys.exit(1)
    tName, ext = os.path.splitext(sys.argv[1])
    new_file = \"%s_reverse.pdf\" % (tName)
    cfstr = Foundation.CFStringCreateWithCString(None, new_file, Foundation.kCFStringEncodingUTF8)
    url = Foundation.CFURLCreateWithFileSystemPath(None, cfstr, 0, False)
    c = CGPDFContextCreateWithURL(url, CGRectMake (0, 0, 0, 0), None)
    cnt = CGPDFDocumentGetNumberOfPages(this_pdf)
    for page_number in range( cnt + 1, 0, -1):
       page = CGPDFDocumentGetPage(this_pdf, page_number)
       r = CGPDFPageGetBoxRect(page, kCGPDFMediaBox)
       CGContextBeginPage(c, r)

    Click on the "Run" button.
    Select your PDF file when the dialog is displayed.

  • Word 2011 for Mac Did Not Save My Work despite many save presses. Why?

    I have been working on a document all week on word 2011 for Mac.
    I initially saved the document and named it. It is still there in the directory folder I originally created it in.
    I pressed the save icon every 20 minutes when working on my word document, saved it before bed, saved it when I woke up etc. Hundreds of save presses in over 100 hours of work in the past 10 days.
    I also had auto recovery saving enabled to save every 10 minutes, this is still enabled.
    Additionally I have time machine set up where it had been backing my whole drive after every few hours to a time capsule. I thought I had my backup protocols covered!
    Today while editing and moving a text box within the word document, the whole word doc crashed  with an error message saying “that it had encountered a problem and needed to close”.
    I was expecting a recovered document to open back up as has occurred many times in the past when Word automatically reboots after a crash. However when the recovered document opened every piece of work had vanished except for the title page and a few words.
    I thought no sweat I will go back and get a time machine copy as I had a weeks worth of back ups.
    Upon going back to every back up from the last week, all my back up copy versions of the document in time machine is just the title page as well, even though I had been saving this all week and the documents was 50 pages long.
    It appears that despite me hitting save, the document has not saved any of my work all week except for the first time I created the file; is this possible?
    I cannot find a copy of the document in the Microsoft auto recovery, it does not reappear in it original form when I reopen Word.
    I cannot find another copy in trash or on time capsule/time machine in the completed format that I had been saving it in.
    I can find the file with the original file name, where I originally saved it but all the work has vanished even though the crash occurred when I was simply moving a text box to sit under a table. (IE I did not delete everything and then press save.
    Things I noticed into the lead up the crash:
    I tried to email to another email account last night as an attachment from word as a third back up and it would not send as an attachment, where this is usually an easy way to send a document as a safety back up.
    I tried to “save as” and give it another name before the crash to experiment with different formatting and called it test test test test but it did not show up in the folder when I hit the “save as” button. Any subsequent search with SPOTLIGHT does not show any file by this name test test test test, even though I am 120% positive that I did save the file correctly in two different places on my computer. Hence again the file would not save even though I did all the normal steps of saving.
    Why was the file not saving when I have been pushing the SAVE button? Was the file corrupted?
    What has gone wrong and does anyone know where to look for the missing work? I have exhausted every option I know over the last few hours. Thanks for considering!

    Any change?

  • Word 2008 for Mac - toolbars

    I have upgraded to Word 2008 for Mac - but whenever I open it the toolbars arent there as they used to be in previous versions or on PCs. I cant find a setting to have them there as a default. I have to go to Edit - Toolbars and 'un-tick' the standard toolbar and then 'click' it again - then it stays there - but only for that document and not any others that are open at the same time.
    Does anyone know how to have the toolbar there as a default?
    thanks.

    Arnie C,
    I'm not aware of any toolbar settings under the Edit menu. Are you referring to one under View > Toolbars? You can try deleting the Office & Word .plists from ~/Library/Preferences and then restart. Perhaps that might assist.
    com.microsoft.Word.plist
    com.microsoft.office.plist
    Another thing to add, you've asked this question in the 'display' sub forum which is designed for questions regarding the display/monitor and related hardware issues. You might wish to ask this question via Microsoft's Office for Mac support forums/channels.

  • What is the best word processor for mac?  Closest to office?

    What is the best word processor for mac?  Closest to office?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    On OS X, you have some good word processors:
    - Microsoft Word for Mac. Included in Office for Mac, it's the best option if you are going to use Word documents with your Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    - Pages. This iWork app is similar to Microsoft Word because both are word processors. This is a good app, too, that you can get from the Mac App Store > http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/
    - LibreOffice. This free suite allows you to do everything that you can do with paid suites but with a free one. It's also open-source > http://www.libreoffice.org
    You can read reviews of all of them in the Internet, but I personally prefer Pages. If you want something closest to Microsoft Word for PC, obviously the best option is Microsoft Word for your Mac

  • Anyone using SecureDoc Full-Disk Encryption for Mac from WinMagic?

    Currently I am using Mac OS X v10.5 on a MBP and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I use PGP full disk encryption.
    I do not want to wait anymore for PGP v10 before I can upgrade to Snow Leopard. In my search for a replacement for PGP I found SecureDoc Full-Disk Encryption for Mac from WinMagic.
    https://www.winmagic.com/products/full-disk-encryption-for-mac
    They claim to be Snow Leopard compatible
    https://www.winmagic.com/kw/download.php?url=/datasheets/securedocmac_brochure20090925a.pdf
    I have two questions:
    1) Does anyone have experience with SecureDoc Full-Disk Encryption for Mac from WinMagic?
    2) Where can I buy one? PGP has a store where I ordered my copy of the software. But I can't find a store anywhere for SecureDoc. With some trouble I found a reseller in the Netherlands, but they don't reply to any questions.

    I am currently testing a trial license from Checkpoint Full Disk Encryption.
    http://www.checkpoint.com/products/datasecurity/pc/index.html
    The company where I work is a Checkpoint reseller, and normally only has dealings with other companies, not end users. But we arranged a trial license and I can buy a single user license Checkpoint Full Disk Encryption if the test proves Checkpoint Full Disk Encryption is a good solution.
    I created a bootable usb disk with Snow Lepoard on it. But I was unable to install FDE on it. After reboot I only get a blank screen, that's it. Probably it isn't supported to boot from a full disk encrypted removable drive, I can understand that.
    I can't create a virtual Snow Leopard machine (legal reasons) to test it on. And all FDE solutions I found aren't compatible with Mac Server, which is a shame because you can virtualize Mac Server legally.
    So now I am planning to change the hard-disk of my MBP this evening with another hard-disk to test Checkpoint FDE there. I don't want to upgrade my current Leopard installation to Snow Leopard only to discover it doesn't work as expected. I could of-course use my current installation and when it doesn't work rollback to a timemachine backup, but before that I have to decrypt my disk and uninstall PGP witch will take 1-2 days, and encrypt again when the test is over. Not pratical.
    I will let you know how the test with Checkpoint Full Disk Encryption went!

  • How do I buy CS6 Standard for Mac from the Adobe website?

    How do I buy CS6 Standard for Mac from the Adobe website? There doesn't appear to be an option for Mac although all the FAQs insist the suite will work on a Mac. Bought a Windows version by mistake and had it refunded, the Adobe help dude said you had to add something to the basket during checkout but can't find the way into that either. Is it just me or is the system completely rubbish?...

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
