Now would be a great time to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 if you’re upgrading to Lion!įinally, the most common question – yes, we are working hard with Apple to enable versioning, auto save, and full-screen for Office for Mac 2011. The reason for this is because Office 2004 was a PowerPC-based product and Lion no longer includes Rosetta.

Microsoft have now posted some more information.
If you are now running Lion, and you have Office for Mac 2011, we told you last week about are a few issues you may need to be aware of.
