Will Office 2004 work with Leopard?

I'm about to install Leopard on my MacBook. Will Office 2004 continue to work, or will I need to re-install/upgrade/buy new software? Thanks

Word, Excel, and Powerpoint have no trouble launching. Some have had trouble printing though. There is a new free update from Microsoft which may fix that issue, but I haven't yet seen any reports.
I would backup your work before installing Leopard in any case, just in case you may have underlying issue that wasn't resolved as my FAQ* explains:

  • Will Office 2004 work with Mac OS 10.4.11?

    I'm currently running Office 2004 with Mac OS 10.4.2 but will soon be upgrading to Mac OS 10.4.11. I'm wondering if the Office currently installed on my computer will work with OS 10.4.11.
    (All the component apps of Office are marked as Version 11.2, except Entourage, which is marked as Version 11.2.1.)
    I'd appreciate any thoughts. THANK YOU.
    -Bob

    Shouldn't be any problem. I used Office 2004 with 10.4.11 for quite a while until I bought Office 2008.
    You might want to update your Office apps, though, with the latest security updates and bug fixes. My Office 2004 apps are all 11.3.something versions.

    Does Microsoft Office 2004 work with the new Lion OS?

    I will not upgrade from Snow Leopard.

    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

  • Will Garageband 2 work with Leopard?

    Will Garageband 2 work with Leopard?
    Thanks!

    I have been using the a6|2m, but one of the last updates (I can't tell exactly which) have now made the interface unusable: After a few bars of recording, I get distortion and delay of 1/2 sec. Also, the Audio-Midi-Setup and Logic don't work together anymore, e.g. if I change in Audio-Midi-Setup to 2 recording channels, Logic still offers six (or if I change to 96kHz, Logic doesn't notice the change, which produces quite strange output).
    Can anyone using the a6|2m confirm this problem?
    I've tested the interface with an older system (10.4.9) and a PC, on both systems it worked perfectly, so hardware faults can be excluded.

  • Office 2004 crashing with Leopard

    I installed Microsoft Office 2004 on my Leopard HD and it keeps crashing. Anyone else having this trouble?

    I've been having some problems as well... the main issue was w/ Office 2004 Word, the thesaurus tool wasn't working or showing. I contacted Microsoft through email and this is what they said:
    +If it is the new Leopard there is a known conflict because the Leopard has its own Spelling and Grammar tools now and they may be conflicting with Microsoft Office. There is a way to check this out. Create a new test Mac and to do that follow the steps below.+
    +1) Close all open programs.+
    +2) Click on the Apple.+
    +3) Select System Preferences.+
    +4) Select Accounts.+
    +5) Click on the Plus sign.+
    +5) For the name, short name, password and verify password please use the word "test".+
    +6) Please ensure this user can administer the computer.+
    +7) Close out of the accounts window.+
    +8) Log out of your user and log into the new user.+
    +9) Try to open Word then try the Thesaurus.+
    I did what they said and the problem seemed like it was fixed but a day later the same thing happened all over again. Hopefully it'll help fix some of your problems... Good Luck!

  • Will OFFICE 2004  work?

    I don't want to upgrade if not.

    I found the problem with my installation.. First, I deleted office and reinstalled it, which wasn't necessary.. The problem was duplicate and/or corrupted fonts.. I'm somewhat of a 'font ho'.. I have about 700 installed, and some were duplicates.. I opened Font Book and chose all the fonts and used the Resolve Duplicates menu item, which shut off all duplicate fonts. This alone allowed all the Office 2004 programs to successfully launch over and over.. I went one step further and also had Font Book Validate the fonts.. I found a few corrupt ones and deleted them..
    So, now Office 2004 works fine for me..

  • I was reading an earlier post about upgrading to 10.9.2 and still using Office for Mac Excell 2004.  Will Excell 2004 work with OS 10.9.2 or is there an Open Office I can use?

    I currently have 10.9.2 and just purchased Office 365.  The 365 won't work for what I want to do.  Need to go backe to Excell 2004.  Is there anyway to do this with my current OS?  Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.

    Need to interface with a Windows 2003 Excell user.
    First, MS Office 2004 will not work on versions of OS X Lion or later including your 10.9.2.  On Mavericks you need Office 2011.
    Second, the difference between Excel formats in Office 2008/2011 vs. earlier versions of Excel is that Office 2008/20011 uses the ".xlsx" filetype but earlier versions including Windows Excel 2003 use the older ".xls" filetype.  The older versions of Excel can't open the newer ".xlsx" filetype ... but there is a way you can exchange Excel files between the newer and older versions of Excel!
    In Office 2008/2011 just SAVE AS Excel 97-2004 Workbook (.xls) if you need to use or exchange your Excel file with earlier versions of Excel, Windows or Mac.  And, going the other way, Excel 2008/2011 can open and use the older .xls files just fine.

  • Will my current Microsoft Office disks work with Leopard?

    Hi!
    I am currently using a Macbook with Mac OS Tiger, and I am looking at getting Mac OS Leopard. What I was wondering is if my Microsoft office disks will still be compatible with Mac OS Leopard like they are on OS Tiger?
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    (Please note: I am not expecting miracles here. If it won't work, it won't work, I am not going to be upset about it.)

    Alycia --
    Office X works fine, as well, with Leopard.
    I think you're in good shape.

  • 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 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.

  • Microsoft Office 2004 Crashing with Leopard on Power Mac G5

    I'm running Leopard 10.5.1 on a Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) Dual 2.3 GHz. I have Microsoft Office 2004 installed and it keeps crashing. And I have installed all of the available updates for Leopard and Office 2004. Is anyone else having this problem? Office 2004 is now essentially unusable because it often crashes during save or exit.

    We have a similar problem.
    10.5.2 Server, 10.5.2 Client, MS Office 2004 (All latest patches)
    Its an intermittent problem that freezes MS Office when navigating through the "Save" Finder. It only appears to occur when trying to navigate through server folders and only affects MS office, all other apps are fine.

  • Will Kensington Trackball work with Leopard?

    At a local users group meeting one of the members said that he could not get his Kensington mice and trackballs to work under OS 10.5. I have the Expert Mouse (trackball w/ turbo ring). Does anyone have experience with these devices working or not working under Leopard? Thank you!

    Yes.
    I've got a Kensington Turbo Mouse Pro (trackball with 4 large buttons around the ball and 6 small programable buttons above the ball near the cable) that was working fine in Tiger.
    I upgraded to Leopard and it wasn't working right, so I downloaded a new copy of their driver (I think it was dated 2006). It wasn't special for Leopard, but I thought I'd try it.
    Not only did it work, but my button preferences survived and it's working as well as it did with Tiger. All of my buttons are programmed for keystrokes and they work well in what ever program I'm running.

  • Will Office 2004 work if I install Lion?

    I heard there are problems with older versions of MS Office.

    if you are going to have to upgrade your version of MS Office, and if you are going to go to Mac OS X Lion then you will, then I would recommend you go to MS Office 2011.
    There is some debate about whether you can "install" MS Office 2008 as the installer may have been PPC based.
    Also, MS has already stated that they plan to release free updates for MS Office 2011, to make it compliant to the new features that have been introduced with Mac OS X Lion.  Features like application resume, auto-save w/versioning, and full screen applications.
    You might also find the cost of the Home and Student version of MS Office 2011 to be very reasonable.  The only reason to get the business version is for Outlook, and only if you actually need Outlook.
