Which version of MS Office will work on OS X Lion

[Kiran25]

I have just purchased the OS X Lion for my MAC without realizing that the operating system not at all supports the office 2004 version of Windows in Mac. I have to open some of the documents in Hebrew language and the documents doesn’t capable to do it I think. Does anyone have a better solution?

Arrival of OS X Lion has brought with it a host of new special interest to all those who regularly use office applications such as the ability to view old versions of a document to work in full screen or delegate to the software to automatically save files. These capabilities will also soon be integrated into the Mac version of Microsoft Office, which however, requires an additional effort on the part of engineers to Redmond to solve a series of incompatibility with the new Apple operating system.

The 2004 version of Office suite, then, cannot be used because of Lion designed for the PowerPC architecture, no longer supported operating system from Cupertino. A solution to the problem of Office 2004 can also use Snow Leopard to dual-boot system, thus being able to take advantage of Rosetta in the previous edition of the OS.

The Microsoft Mac team is working to include support for new features Lion, Autosave and Versions, as well as the new Full Screen feature. Meanwhile, you'd better use the autosave Office itself as a safety mechanism to keep your job. The post also reminds users of Office for Mac 2004 that this older version of Microsoft Office will not work if you install the new version of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion . Running PowerPC applications on Intel-based Mac required Rosetta chips, which now becomes an application only for computers running OS 10.6 or above.

These today launched an upgrade to Communicator for Mac that fixes the crash within Lion, this will approach all the way through an update to Microsoft AutoUpdate in the upcoming days. The second is that Office 2004 will not at all work in OS X Lion. And finally, update Office 2011 intended for Mac to work through OS X Lion otherwise support what we have is full-screen except it will come about in few months.

It is expected that many software vendors are working feverishly to address the problems in their programs and the launch of Lion in July 2011, many errors are eliminated. A look at the list but still worthwhile, to protect themselves against unpleasant surprises that could bring the operating system update with them. Similar problems also arose when upgrading from Mac OS 10.5, aka Leopard now on the current Mac OS X 10.6 aka Snow Leopard. Even then it was sometimes very long, stood ready to compatible versions.
