Can you get MS Office 2004 working with OS X 10.8.2? I just updated to the newest OS and now when I try to open Office apps its says PowerPC apps are no longer supported. Any ideas on how to resolve?

Not true, we all here have used MS Office (I did, and sometimes still do) for years and years (Windows and Mac): no trouble at all to use OpenOffice (Windows and Mac) and/or NeoOffice (Mac) (i did, do for years). There are only differences with the iWork set, although Keynote may be the best.

I have several MS Word files that I cannot open because 10.8.3 can't support PowerPC apps. So I email them to myself and try to open it from the sent email. It asks me to "choose and applicaiton", so I choose Pages. Then I save this file back to my computer and I have that file now under Pages and I trash the MS Word file.

Just choose one MS Word doc. and go to Get Info and change it to open with Pages and then click 'Change All' and all your word docs will open with pages.
