Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

new (to me) iMac running 10.8.5

I have migrated all the files to the new machine and (of course) several things do not transfer.

On the old machine I used Office (2004), which is now X'd out on the dock.

Which version should I upgrade to that's compatible with this new computer?

Do I go to Office 2010? Other ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks.

Office 2004 for Mac was a PowerPC-based app. Apple stopped selling PowerPC Macs in 2005, and apps designed for it stopped being supported in OS X Lion (launched in 2011), so now you need Intel-based Macs.


As you have got a new Mac, you may want to try Pages, the Apple's word processing app, but if you need professional features you will need Office. Both Office 2008 and 2011 work with new Macs, so you can install any of them.
