You got duped into updating to 10.7 without adequate notification from Apple that doing so is going to break your PPC based software that's what happened.


You can choose the lenghtly process of reverting back to Snow Leopard where your software worked or buy new versions of that software or use something for free like LibreOffice that will run your Office files.
