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.

  • Will Microsoft Word 2008 work with Mountain lion

    Does anyone know?

    ML has not been released yet so no one here--all end-users like you---can say for sure. However, Office 2008 was the first version of Office with Intel code so the odds are good it will.
    You may want to ask in the Micorsoft forum since Office is not an Apple product:
    Office for Mac forums
    You may ned to research in another forum. This is for iMAcs made before 2006 and will not be able to run ML.

    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 word 2010 work with spaces in osx 10.5.8?

    does microsoft word 2010 work with spaces in osx 10.5.8?

    In order to set up and install the new AirPort Extreme:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    would it work with my older osx 10.6.8?
    Yes, if you set up the new AirPort Extreme using the guidelines above. The 10.6.8 Mac will be able to connect to the AirPort Extreme, but it will not be able to make any configuration changes.
    Only the devices listed above can be used to set up and make any changes to the new AirPort.

  • 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.

  • Will Mavericks server ever work with windows 7?

    I want to buy a new content server for our small business. Today we use snow leopard server on a Macmini and it is running stable, but we are growing and need to have a faster system and faster diskaccess and I have been looking at a solution with Macmini with thunderbolt pegasus raid. On the paper it looks really interesting, fast and it would be great for our small business! ....BUT.. I have read tons of forums with people having problems with windows compatibility.
    We use both Mac and PC in a small environment and the most IMPORTANT thing we need is a shared disk that work flawlessly with both windows and Mac. I do not need lots of other osx server features as mail, ftp, etc etc...
    So, Will Maverick server ever work as a content server with windows 7 professional client computers? Or should I go for a windows server (I rather not since I do not like windows)?  Or maybe a NAS-server is a better sollution for content sharing/shared workdisk?

    Hi jcar, thanks for writing in!  While the Canon BJC-80 printer will not work with the Windows 7 operating system, we have plenty of printers that are fully compatible! Please feel free to click on the link below to explore some Canon alternatives; we hope this helps!

  • Will bootcamp and vista work with Mountain lion 10.8.2

    PC died so got an iMac and setting it up with small "PC" on it for two programs I need that will only run on PC. I am wondering if Bootcamp works with 10.8.2 and Vista will work with both...or are there known issues.
    Thanks,

    Vista will not work you will need Windows 7.
    Run Boot camp Assistant that is included with Mountain Lion to create the Bootcamp partition for installing Windows 7.

  • Will Parallels work with OSX Lion?

    A friend has just bought an iMac which still has Snow Leopard. He was wanting to upgrade to OSX Lion but has heard that Rosetta is no longer available in Lion (which he currently needs to run an older language program)
    He was thinking about using Parallels and running the Windows version of this program, but needs to know if currently available versions of Parallels will work on Lion.
    He can't use bootcamp because his Windows machine OS is WinXP and there is no point in buying Windows 7 just for this one program.
    Or should he not upgrade for the time being?
    Has anyone had experience with Lion and Parallels please?
    Thanks
    Ross

    Thanks so much for that information - I'll tell our friend.
    All the best

  • Adobe and Microsoft Word not working with upgrade 10.10 Yosemite

    I upgraded from Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10.  Now my Mac Microsoft Word 2011 and Adobe keep closing and will not work properly.  I feel like my computer is slower.  It definitely takes way longer to start up.  Any suggestions?  My computer is still under warranty, but it is hard to find time to take it in.  I only upgraded my laptop and not my desktop yet.  This laptop is a Macbook Pro (15-Inch, Late 2011), Processor 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory: 16 BG 1067 MHz DDR3, HD: 119.99 GB free of 498.88 GB.  I know I need more HD space.  I emptied trash and took off apps I do not use.  I'm not sure what to buy for my Mac that is compatible to increase speed and HD space, but it is slower after the upgrade.  I use a Lacy External HD for time machine.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Francine, thank you for answering the very simple question I had about whether or not Photoshop Elements 6 was compatible with 10.5.5. I spent hours on the phone today with Adobe, being transferred around and trying to get a straight answer. I never got one from Adobe. The same thing happened when I called Apple. I realize that Apple is not the manufacturer, but hoped they might have an answer because they sell the software and should know if it works with their current OS. Since the system requirements on Adobe's and Apple's websites still say it only works with systems up to 10.5.2, sales and technical support people just read that back. I can read the same specs too, but I realize that 10.5.5 is new and that it is possible that they just may not have updated the info on the web or in their scripts to reflect this. Apparently, actual users like you and several others are saying it works fine with no issues. It's really nice to know how easy it is to find answers here when you can't get the help or answers you need from the manufacturer. It seems like all they do is read a script, and even supervisors just don't want to be bothered. They should realize that 10.5.5 is the current OS since mid-September, and if they don't provide accurate info then people won't know whether or not to purchase the software. I was hesitant because I didn't want to waste the money to find out if it would or would not work. But now that I see others are using PSE 6 without a problem in 10.5.5, I have the answers I need and I feel more confident about buying the software.

  • Need HP Print driver that works with OSX Lion 10.7.4

    I recently got a new modem and I need to update my SSID and password on my HP wireless printer.  The printer software that came with the printer and on the hp website for the printer only supports Mac OSX and doesn't work for OSX Lioin 10.7.4
    Is there a way to get software that could update my printer or should i remove and somehow reinstall the printer with different software?
    Kids need to print their homework....help!

    No reason to be sorry,
    You should use the Setup Assistant to reconfigure the wireless connection:
    Make sure the printer turned on and connected to your Mac by USB.
    Go to Applications\Hewlett-Packard\Device Utilities and follow the HP Setup Assistant. it will guide you to connect the printer to your new router.
    If you can't find the Hewlett-Packard folder you will need to install the HP software by selecting the HP Recommended Software, the software van be found in the following link:

  • Acrobat Standard 6 won't work with OSX Lion

    I just downloaded OSX Lion and my Acrobat Standard 6 no longer works.  What to do now?  I hadn't upgraded along the way, so how can I know get an application to create pdf files on my Mac?

    Acrobat 6 Standard or deluxe are PowerPC Programs. They've been runing in an emulation mode called Rosetta since OSX.6  OSX.7 Lion is pure Intel only. and Rosetta has been discontinued.
    If you need PowerPC applications You are either going to have to revert back to Snow Leopard. Or buy you an external Drive install OSX 6 or lower on it and run your PowerPC apps from there.
    You may discover many of the applications you depend upon if you haven't kept them upgraded have quit work as well. You can do about the same thing with standard in The Mac Directly. Standard didn't have Forms capability.
    Just go to Print Menu click on PDF and choose desired PDF.  I would suggest though If you seriously want to have PDF and Forms Capability to Upgrade to AcrobatX. There is so much more you can do with PDF's than with 6 Standard.
