Microsoft Office 2004 will not work on any Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion. You will need to upgrade to Office 2011, buy the less expensive iWork apps from the App Store or use a free office clone like OpenOffice or NeoOffice.

  • HT201341 Does the Mountain Lion operating system run programs in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 software suite?

    Does the Mountain Lion operating system run programs in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 software suite?

    No, Snow Leopard (10.6) is the last version of OS X that supports Office 2004. You can upgrade to Office 2008 or 2011, or use a free office suite such as LibreOffice.

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • PC Micorsoft Office compatilbility w/ Microsoft Office for Mac 2004

    My wife is considering purchasing a PC which will be compatible with the local community college prgrams, but our kids will use it and their school is Mac-based. The school uses Microsoft Office for Mac 2004.
    My question is: Will the Microsoft Office that comes installed on the new PC be compatible with the Mac's version. In other words, will my kids be able to type, say, a paper in Word on the PC at home and then take it to school and be able to work on it on a Mac?
    Thanks for any insight to this very basic question.

    *"Then why did it happen so, that when I sent a .doc file to my coworkers (using PC's and Vista) that I had created with my Word (from Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 package) some of the pictures where not showing at all"*
    You probably linked to the images, instead of embedding them in the document. Regardless, since Office is not an Apple product you'll probably want to post your question over on Microsoft's product forums for Mac: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums/

  • Will Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 work on my iMac with Mountain Lion OS?

    Help!  I have downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on my iMac. Now I can't open or use files that contained labels I made with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 because Mountain Lion does not support Power PC and Microsoft Excel.  If I purchase and download Office for Mac 2011, will it allow me to continue using these label files?  If not, how can I get a database for my iMac that will enable me to create labels and catalogues?

    Thanks, Niel.  I'm glad to know purchasing the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 will enable me to retrieve and use my "ancient" database label files.  I did try to get OpenOffice, but my computer says "'OpenOffice' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and my "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."  How can I do this?  I really don't know about the inner workings of my computer!

  • I have just installed 10.7 Lion and get the following message when trying to open a Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 product "You can't open the application Microsoft Entourage because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." What needs to be done ?

    What needs to be done to regain my Microsoft Office for Mac suite that I lost when I installed Mac os 10.7.3 Lion upgrade?

    Or you could just wipe out Lion and restalled Snow Leopard. Then when you are in the market for a new computer, desktop of notebook, buy something other then Apple.
    why would you say things like that here? if you are a windows one then stay there. but you are not polite or helpful and if can't use Apple i wonder why you would come here to tell all about your sad story. I don't understand that it has nothing to do with question asked.
    I own, or should I say have owned, several Apple products. Including a new MBP.
    I also use Windows.
    I will say anything I like in an effort to help people overcome problems they are having with Mac's and computers in general.
    Being a Apple Fanboy is not required for membership on this forum or trying to help other Mac users.
    And just how is suggesting to remove Lion and to go back to Snow Leopard not helping the OP in his quest to make his already owned and paid for MS Office software work? If it is isn't broken stop trying to fix it. Snow Leopard is a fine OS. Lion is still in Beta, only Apple hasn't told anyone. And yes I run Lion on my new MBP but I also have a partition with Snow Leopard on it.
    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Will Microsoft Office For Mac V.X run on Lion?

    Need to determine if I have to buy the latest version of Microsoft Office For Mac.  Would prefer to use my V.X.  I am upgrading to Lion for iCloud.

    However, Office 2008, which does run in Lion, MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE you upgrade to Lion, because its installation program has Rosetta-required PPC code.
    Another issue is that many people with legacy MS Office data files are experiencing severe problems with translation of the legacy files by MS Office 2008 or 2011. 
    For example, I must access a file once a week that I created in MS Excel 2004 and its graphs are scrambled by Excel 2011.  I continue to access it with Excel 2004 in Snow Leopards installed in Parallels 7 in Lion:
    If you decide to continue to use your Office v.X, full installation instructions for Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion are here:

    This forum is for questions about Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Mac systems, and hence not the best place for your question. If you can't figure it out by running the installer or by reading Microsoft's Get Started information:

  • I am running 10.6.8 on an iMac7,1 with 2.4GHz, 4Gb RAM.  Other than usual Apple apps, I also run Microsoft Office for Mac.  Am i better off upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks rather than trying to go to Yosemite ?  Thanks!

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an iMac 7,1 system with 2.4GHz processor and 4Gb RAM.   I also use Microsoft Office for Mac.
    I am wondering whether i should upgrade to Yosemite or first go to Mountain Lion or Maverics to avoid sluggishness and other potential issues with using Yosemite on this iMac.

    i had thought Snow Leopard was no longer supported hence my idea to upgrade.
    It isn't being supported any longer.
    If you haven't done this you might want to consider doing it for security.

  • Installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I have a Macbook Pro 5.3 Boot ROM Version MBP53.00AC.B03 with SMC Version 1.48f2. The computer will not read the software for installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 (Home and Student). An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update. Mac Support said the problem is the Microsoft software. Microsoft said the problem is the Macbook Pro. Does anyone know how to resolve the problem so the Office 2011 can be installed?

    An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update
    Firmware updates and Office 2011 are unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.
    If the firmware won't install, then post your question in the OS X forums.

    If this question is strictly related to the installation of Office, then please post your question on MS' own forums for their Mac software, as Apple Discussions only provide support for Apple products: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

  • I just bought a macbook pro and am ready to order Microsoft Office for Mac. I use Windows 2007 at work and want to be sure I am able to work with files from that system. Do I need to buy 2 different editions of Microsoft Office to be able to do this?

    Do I need to buy 2 different Microsoft Office products if I want to be able to use my new Mac with Microsoft Office for Mac and also use files saved on my work computer which uses Microsoft Window 2007?

    Sorry, but your likely going to have to use Windows 7 and Office on your Mac at work using Bootcamp.
    Although you can share files OfficeMac and Office on Windows, the formatting will be off because two platforms use different installed fonts and formatting. This will cause a productivity lost and require extra editing at work
    If you could share just PDF's then your fine, but that will unlikely be the case.
    So to share files seamlessly your going to have to install Windows 7 (another $300) full version, 64 bit, using Apple's Bootcamp.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    It's ok, though, you can boot into OS X to use that online and surfing etc at home. It's the internet and sharing of files from other Windows users that cause Windows to hoze up, so mimimalize both of those and you should be fine.
    You can also run Windows 7 in a virtual machine software like Parallels or VMFusion. as long as you don't have any super demanding needs of the hardware, like running 3D games or super intense CPU actions like video processing. Office work is just fine and it's safer than Bootcamp, as in a virtual machine you can keep "snapshots" of previous states of the OS, and revert back to in case something goes wrong in mere seconds.
    A real good piece of news though, Windows 8 is so radically changed from Windows 7, that your workplace will remain with Windows 7 as long as possible to put off all the retraining necessary with that new OS version.
    So think of the $300 + $60 investment in Windows on your Mac as a longterm thing.

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck
