office issues with lion

I have office 2004 for my Imac. I installed Lion and now when I open word or excel the error message says "You can't open MS Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported" I have an inteo based iMac and neverthought I had a power PC. Do I HAVE to purchase the new version of MS Office Suite. If so I wish I never downloaded Lion.

I ran into the same quandry when looking to upgrade to Lion and chose not to for several software applications that weren't supported in Lion. You have a couple of choices, upgrade all the other software that isn't supported or go back to Snow Leopard. To go back you'll have to format your harddrive and reinstall from your boot cd. Back up all your stuff first.
