MS Office for Mac not working on OSX Lion?

Hi everyone, I just installed the new OSX Lion onto my iMac. Everything seems to be working fine except for my Microsoft Office for Mac v. X (which includes MS Entourage Mail, MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint). When I clicked on the icon to open the program, it gives me this message: "You can't open the application Microsoft Entourage because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." So does it mean I have to upgrade my MS Office too? Anyone has any idea? Thanks so much!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)

You can always show scroll bars in applications by opening SysPrefs > General and selecting the option to always show the scroll bars. This should work with Office for Mac 2011, although I don't have a copy installed to confirm that.

I did discover that once I start to scroll with my mouse, the scroll bar appears like magic. I will check out the setting tho. Thanks for your help.

That worked for me. Now I have it set to "always".
