Will microsoft office 2011 work with lion

Will Microsoft Office 2011 work on my Mac? (OS X Lion)

well considering it's worked on Lion for over a year, I'd say yes.
Please post further Office questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

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.

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?
Will one have to reinstall after the Lion upgrade?

Office 2001 will not work with Lion. That is a Power PC App which is no longer supprted in Lion. You should upgrade to Office 2011, Apple iWork, or Open Office.

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.

I did not upgrade from Excel 2004, since I spent a lot of time and energy to develop a large number of functions using Excel macros.
I will not upgrade from Snow Leopard.
What else ?
I had the intention to change my 4-year-old 17" Macbook pro, not compatible with Lion, to a newer one. I had... There is no further reason to do that.
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

How to make Microsoft Office 2004 work with Lion 10.7.5

I just upgraded my iMac with Lion and now have OS 10.7.5, and now I have a message that "You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." However, I run Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac on my PowerBook Pro--is it possible to do something to the 2004 edition to make it work with the upgrade? Or do I have to buy a new Microsoft office program?

Thanks--that's what I was afraid of.
I found the other versions of this question AFTER I posted mine--silly of me...and nice of you not to point it out.
I will look at OpenOffice but I dislike iWork so will likely get the new Microsoft version.

Will MS Office 2008 work with Lion?

I purchased Lion but cancelled the download when I read that people were having trouble running MS office programs on the operating system. Does anyone know how well MS office 2008 applications run, if at all, on Lion? Thanks!

I have two friends who say for sure 2011 works.
2008 apparently is being told not supported.
did you do a clean install or just an upgrade on the os?
when using 3rd party apps it is important to back up all your work, and do a clean install of the os, wiping everything, then reinstalling the apps.
there is a trick to doing a clean install. You can find the instructions in this thread. WHY apple has made it literally IMPOSSIBLE for average mac users to easily choose the option of a clean install with Lion is a mystery to me. With Lion Apple remotely has control of your operating system. They can change and update anything on it that they see fit without your knowing they even did.

Will my Microsoft office 2011 work when I upgrade to Mountain lion?

I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro snow leopard (10.6.8) to Mountain Lion, but I am unsure if my Microsoft Office 2011 will work when i upgrade. I do not want to end up buying it again.

Tested, works fine.

Will office 11 work with lion and old doc files?

I updated to Lion and my old office will not work... will office 11 be able to read and use my old office files ...word and excel?

Office 2011 will work with Lion, old doc files will work with 2011 as long as MS hasn't done something in Office 2011. I have had no problems with files from as far back as office 2003 with 2011.

Ms Office 2008 works with Mountain Lion - I have a late 08 Macbook Uni with Mountain Lion and Office 2008. Just make sure your Office 2008 has the latest updates.
good luck

Is Microsoft Office 2011 compatible with OS X Lion?

I'm debating whether or not to buy the OS X Lion, and it all depends on if Microsoft Office is compatible with it. Has anyone ever had problems using the Microsoft Office with the new OS X Lion software?

I have had no problem using Office 2011 since upgrading to OS X Lion, but I am unable to install any Office 2011 updates. I have spent a lot of time searching for the solution at both Apple and Microsoft, but so far cannot find one.

Does Office 2011 work with Mavericks?

First, I just dragged my Office 2011 from my old MacBook Pro (which runs Mountain Lion) to my new Air (which is newly running Mavericks). It wouldn't open. So, I downloaded it (using my product key) and installed it. It still won't open. Suggestions? Thanks.

That's the problem
You can't drag it there you have to install it
Remove all elements you dragged and installed, and restart from scratch with a genuine install.
Yes office 2011 works on Mavericks

Does microsoft office 2011 work well on a mac mini?

I was thinking of buying Pages and Numbers from the App Store but saw that most of the reviews were negative. Should I just get Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac?

Those Pages v5 reviews are negative for a reason.
If you have to exchange documents in a corporate, or educational setting where MS Office is used, then you probably should create native Word .doc/x content in Office for Mac 2011. Alternatively, you might also look at the free LibreOffice suite. It is far more comprehensive than Pages, and gets the .doc/x export done right.
Office for Mac 2011, or LibreOffice work just fine on a Mac Mini. There are several Microsoft updates available for Office for Mac 2011 — be sure to install them.

Will Microsoft Word ever work with OSX Lion?/Worth switching to iWork just for

I have the Microsoft Office Suite that I got with my computer, I want to know if it will work with an eventual Lion update before I consider updating to OSX Lion. I would like nothing more than to be able to update, but don't know if I'm willing to justify paying the 60 for iWork and then the 30 for LIon. Any suggestions either way would be great! I have been looking at the iWork package, but don't know how I feel about making the switch over...

Office 2008 and 2011 run under Lion, but Office 2004 and the Office 2008 installer don't.
