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:

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.

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!

Having trouble getting Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 to run.

I recently upgraded my iMac to ML, but since then I've had difficulty getting the app to run. It would give me an error message and an error log. Then I created a new user profile to see if it'll run there (under system prefs, then under users & groups). Well, it did run. It opened just fine under the new user profile. So it can't be a problem with the new OS. So what is it with my primary user profile? What is keeping Office from running in one user profile and not another?

I am assuming that you are attempting to download a copy of Microsoft Office directly from the Microsoft Store ... correct? If so, you cannot use the product key from the CD as this key is specifically used for the software on that CD. You would need to acquire a new product key as you would need to purchase another copy of Office for your MacBook Air.
The Mac version can be found here.

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 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.

Hello. When you say after the upgrade, what specifically are you relating to? Do you mean going from Leopard to Lion and still being able to use the MS 2008 version?

Microsoft Office for Mac open recent File menu option causing AFP to crash

Hi all,
We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5.8. The Xserve hosts three file shares for about 60 users. Our network is 99% Mac based running mostly 10.5.8 with a few 10.6.x. We have historically over the past several years had the AFP service become unreliable and crash frequently. Late last week the AFP service crashes constantly. The quick solution to getting it up and running is to delete the AFP.conf file in /etc.
We have troubleshot one cause of AFP crashing to the Open Recent... File menu option in Microsoft Office for Mac applications. That is, through some amount (haven't been able to narrow it down to how much) of opening documents on the share via the Open Recent menu the AFP service will crash.
Here's what's happening in the AppleFileServer .crash file:

Our solution is to have all our users turn off the open recent option in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Not an ideal solution but it may get the AFP service running "good enough."
Has anyone had an experience like this before or can anyone duplicate the AFP service crashing when trying to open documents on a share via the open recent menu? Any other ideas?
Thanks

Update.
I have been able to consistently reproduce a problem where the AFP service will crash if a file that a user has an alias to is moved to a folder and the user is denied access to .
1. On your Mac create an alias to a file or folder, that you have access to, that is stored on a share served via AFP. The alias can be in the Places section of a Finder window, on the Desktop, or anywhere an alias can be created. Lets call what the alias points to the target.
2. Move the target to a folder on the AFP share and deny the user or group Read & Write access to that folder.
3. Try accessing the target via the alias created in step 1.
The AFP service should crash.
Can anyone reproduce this crash scenario too?

Is there a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

As a college student it's important that everything is equal for windows and mac for using instructions. So i am wondering if theres a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

There are differences between the two version of Office. If you need to be exactly like the Windows version, you will have to run Windows on your Mac.

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?

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.

Rebuilding Microsoft Office for Mac - won't rebuild

I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. I only have Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I do not have Outlook.
When I open up any one of the three (Word, Excel, or Powerpoint), i get the following message:
"There is a problem with the Office database. To use the database, verify that you have the correct permissions or rebuild it using the Database Utility.
The Office database stores your personal information, such as the Scrapbook and Outlook messages and contacts. To learn how to verify or change your permissions, click Cancel, and then in the Outlook Help, click Go Online, search
for “database permissions” and follow the instructions. To rebuild the database, click Rebuild.’’
I then click on Rebuild and get the following response:
"There is a problem with Office Database.
Office might be unable to access the database or the database file might be damaged. Without the database, thou might be unable to use the Scrapbook and other features that store your personal information.
To rebuild the database, open Microsoft Office 2011 / Office, and then open the Microsoft Database Unitity. For more information, open the Database Utility application, and on the Help menu,click Database Utility Help."
Then, when I try to rebuild the database, i get the following info.
step 1 of 5 - scanning
step 2 0f 5 - verifying
step 3 0 f5 - copying records to new database …
step 4 of 5 - recovering data ..
step 5 of 5 - finishing ….
Your database could not be rebuilt [-5000]
I even tried to create a new identity but it won't do that either. I get the response:
"New identity could not be created"
Does anyone know what I should do?
I will need exact steps, so please do not leave anything out.
Thanks.

Hi,
You'd probably try repairing disk permissions first, then try again. Follow these steps:
In the Finder, click Go, and then select
Home. Open the Applications folder. Open the Utilities folder.
In the column on the left side of the Disk Utility window, select your Macintosh HD.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
After the repair is completed, restart the computer.

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.
