OS X V10.7 Lion :: Installed Lion And Can't Run Office
Jun 7, 2012
I installed Lion in my laptop.Now I can't run office:mac products.when I click on icons or docs I get redirected to iworks.Has someone found a solution to this that does not imply purchasing yet more software??
I updated to Lion on my desktop a few months ago and I swear now I can't read older Microsoft word and Excel documents correctly on this computer using Office 2011. The document opens and you can see all of the data in a preview window (from finder) but once it opens fully the data/words are not there. I have Lion on a brand new Macbook Pro I just purchased and installed the Microsoft Office 2011 and it opened the excel document I was having trouble with fine.I can't find many links for Office for Mac issues.Â
Anybody have the 12WX working correctly with lion with no previous wacom installed? hooked it up right away with no problems on a leopard mac pro. had working windows xp on virtual machine no problems.with imac lion, would not run the install drivers from disk (PPC). so installed the latest 6.2 driver and a bamboo intuos 3 driver as recomended by wacom. installed driver for pen. the bamboo driver worked for a day or so ( with no option keys working), but had 4 point calibration unlike the two point from leopard install.now, neither are recognizing a tablet connection, only works as monitor. uninstalled. tried an older driver 6.15. ran fix disk permissions, reset pram. restarted(+++). dis and re connected. reinstalled again and again. still no luck getting it running on a new mid 2011 imac with lion.
I am thinking of upgrading from lion to mountain lion, simply to use the dictation feature, but I need it for "typing" papers in office for mac....word. Does it work for that, or is it geared more for sending messages?
I have a Mini Server, 10.7.3. 8GB, SSD 256, use it for FCPX mostly. Just moved all datafiles to external disks and re-installed Lion, but now I cannot access my user account. When I started up the system after it had installed, it asked me for company name and email address, but then I cannot access my user account any more.
Do I need to re-install the system again, or how can I solve this? I don't remember what email address I used originally when I got the server and registered it, whether it was my personal or the business address, which I gave this time. Â
I do remember the login name and password that I have always used, but these don't work anymore and I have too many jobs pending this week.

I just installed Lion and now all of all the fonts that I have in my Library>Fonts folder, only about 1/3 are showing when I launch apps such as Illustrator or Motion. They are normal fonts, like Avenir, not crazy fonts that I downloaded for free. They are there, yet not showing in the font menus of the applications.Â
I was at an Apple Store this weekend and playing around with the new MBA. I noticed that they had MS Office 2011 installed already. I checked out the version number and it's 14.0.1, build 101008. Anybody knows if this version is just Apple store, or it'll be an update?
After downloading, during "validating packages" I got this message: "The update could not be expanded, and may have been currupted while downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked agian the next time that Software Update runs". I re-ran Software Update, re-tried to install it.Same message.Â

I have loved being a Mac owner since 2008...UNTIL now. WHO can educate me on the compatibility of Lion with the following (I currently have a 2G 2008 MacBook with 10.6.8 Snow Leopard)
- 2008 MS Office for Mac (Word, PPT, Excel)
- Have many old files in MS 2004 and even 2002. What will happen with these when I am on Lion?Â
With this move to Lion/the Cloud, I cannot get a straight story from Apple on compatibility of Lion with MS products (Word, Excel, PPT.). Totally different scenario when I was a PC CONVERT. Apple sales people could tell me all that I needed to know to move from PC to Mac. A little bait and switch now that I am on board.

Not talking about giving it away or selling it to another person or anything like that. I'm just hoping to install Office on my (upcoming) desktop setup as well as on my Macbook so that I always have access to it. This would be the full version, not the educational one.
I have installed VMFusion Ware and then Windows XP. When I insert the CD to install Microsoft Office, nothing happens... I'm a very new MacBook Pro user and LOVE it but I need to use some Microsoft products for work.
The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs.  I seem to get this every time Apple update Mac OS X. Eventually after many many tries it will work , but come on!
Today I tried to install the two updates that apple had in store for me:IPhoto Thunderbolt The installer asked me to reboot and I said yes.After a while, the installer said:None of the updates could be installed.I pressed the only button: restart After staring at the canvas background for over 5 minutes, I hard-rebooted the iMac. Now I get a kernel panic when I boot.What to do? iMac 2011 Mac os x. Latest update
i have been using Mac OS X Lion since its release last year. A few months ago my brother wanted to use Mac OS X in his MacBook Pro 13'. He was using a different Apple ID. I signed in with my apple ID on his Laptop and installed Lion and then signed out and again signed back in with his ID. He is not being able to download updates as an error message pops out showcasing that it is not authorised. Will it be persistent?

I have updated to lion and my office 2004 does not work. I need to buy and install office 2011. do I need to uninstall 2004 first? THe remove office application does not work as it requires power pc which is not supported by lion.
I just downloaded Lion, and it's not letting me use any of my Office products. There are big white circles with lines through them surrounding the icons for Word, Excel and PowerPoint. When I click ont he Word icon, I get the following message: "You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
Used Migration Assistant to transfer stuff from old MB with Leopard to new MBP with Lion. It transferred Office 2011 which is fine, but one problem, I completely forgot that I used my last of the 3 software registration keys on the old MB. Now I can't open Office 2011 because it keeps asking for a registration key. So I though this would be as good of a time as any to try Pages and that's what I'm doing. Now I want to delete all the MS stuff but I can't find an Uninstall file anywhere in any of the MS files. Even if I do find an Uninstall file will it let me run that file without the software being registered on this computer? Do I need to remove all the MS stuff manually?
want to update my office 2011. The update must be downloaded from microsoft web page. It is not signed as an update for the office 2011. Apple Pro wants to delete it. How to install the update?Â

Has anyone had any compatibily issues with Microsoft Office 11? I frequently make word and powerpoint documents on campus, sometimes on windows computers, sometimes Mac's. I either email the files to myself, or store them on a flash drive. However, when I try to open the files, I simply see a blank document. What's even more frustrating is that these files open in pages on my computer. I suspect I have something enabled on my preferences that is blocking this, but I have no idea what this is. Essentially, any file that I create on my computer works, and also works when opened on another computer. However, any file I create on a different computer(be it mac or windows) is not visible when opened on my computer. I simply see a blank document/blank powerpoint slides.Â
I am running 10.7 Lion, with Microsoft office 11.Â
has anyone had an issue with office mac 2011 excel and osx lion? i make excel spreadsheets with pdf storyboards on them, and too often the excel file will not reopen. instead i get a corrupt file notice. i choose fix file and the file opens without the pdf files. sounds like a pdf/excel issue to me. it is maddening.
The full message is below. I already have updated to 12.2.7 and running the latest Mac OS but suffering continual Entourage crashes, which I'm hoping this will fix.
