Will "Word"  2008 work with LION?

"Open XML for Word" shows up as PPC,what does that mean for my version of Word, Version 12.3.0????   Thanks, Bill

Word 2008 is a universal application, meaning it will run on both PowerPC and Intel systems. OpenXML for Word is intended for Office 2004, Word 2008 being able to natively open the newer Word document format, so OpenXML being PowerPC-only will not be a factor.
How compatible Word 2008 will be with Lion, though, is unknown at this time. We'll have to wait for either official details from Microsoft or for Lion to be released so that people can test and report on compatibility.
Regards.

    will excel 2008 work with Lion?

    Yes. 2004 won't, because it's a PPC app, but 2008 should work OK.

  • Will iPhoto '09 work with Lion?

    Will iPhoto '09 work with Lion? Since I upgraded to Lion when I open a Facebook album in iPhoto I get the message "An error occurred with the publication of (album name)". The album was submitted successfully long ago. One of a few new quirks since the upgrade.

    Crap. I think I might be out of luck. I'm trying to put it on a 2011 Mac Mini. And the new iPhoto is such crap by comparison.
    I wonder if they dumbed it down so people would buy Aperture.

  • Does entourage 2008 work with lion?

    Does Entourage 2008 work with Lion? I have heard conflicting reports...
    Thanks

    Since En'rage does so many things the conflicting reports probably have to do with whether the program is being used just for mail, just for the calendar, or for both. For what its worth, I'm not happy with the 2011 version's performance in Lion. I've gone back to Mail and began using BusyCal

  • 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.

  • Will photoshop CS5 work with Lion

    I need to get a new photoshop, mine is out of date. Will Photoshop CS5 work with OS 10.7.2? Adobe doesn't include 10.7.2 in their tech specs.

    I have it and it runs fine on Lion.

  • Will iWeb 06 work with Lion?

    Like the title states, Will the original iWeb still work with Lion? I can't stand the new versions and the old iweb always works perfect for me. Any ideas?

    If you want to continue to use iWeb, then when Lion is released, I would use the latest version which is iWeb 09 that was part of either iLife 09 or iLife 11.
    iWeb 09 has been tested and has been found to work with Lion.

  • 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 iMovie6 HD work with Lion

    I refuse to use any other Apple movie program other than iMovie6 HD even though I have Final Cut Express.
    Since I am not going to use ver. 7 thru 9  I need to stay with an operation system that will run iMovie6.
    Has anyone tried it yet?
    Harold

    I can't help but wonder how many of us are still using iMovie6 HD at this point.  I have everything in this program that I think I will ever need.  It is very reliable, full of features and very easy to work with.
    I wish Apple would bring it back as an intermediate program and charge for it.  As I stated in 2011 I will not be able to upgrade my system until they do.  I am hooked on ver.6. and use it multiple times daily.
    I did try ver. 8 when it came out and did not like it at all.

  • Will idvd 5 work with lion?

    Since idvd is not included in the new imac I was wondering whether it will work with an old version like 5 or do I need to upgrade to ilife 11?

    Hi
    Most probably not.
    iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard or later.
    Mac OS X.5.0    Leopard - Full UNIX, Full 64-bit - no Classic code any more.
    I would buy iLife'11 as fast as possibly - Nobody tell's for how long this will be possibly.

  • 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.

  • I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

    What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....
