Upgraded to Os X Lion, Problems

Now that I upgraded to Os X Lion, I have found out Quicken 2007, and Microsoft Office products are no longer supported. I was in the middle of entering info into Quicken and need it for taxes. Can I buy another program to intergrate with Quicken 2007 backup files?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Partly true. For Office see:


Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion


You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.


You may want to consider as well:


These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:


NeoOffice

Open Office


And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:


Pages - word processing and layout

Keynote - presentation

Numbers - spreadsheet


Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.


(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)


Quicken is now available for Lion/Mountain Lion: Quicken 2007 16.1.2. There are many good products that can replace Quicken: SEE Finance, Moneydance 2012.5, and MyMoney 2.0.86 are just a handful.
