Is Office for Mac 2008 compatible with OS X Lion (10.7)?

I have Office for Mac 2008 installed on my Mac and I’m considering upgrading to Apple’s newest OS, Lion. 

Can I still run Office for Mac 2008 if I upgrade to Lion?

Microsoft has been working with Apple from the early days of MacOS 10.7 (Lion). Through this partnership, many issues were addressed leading up to the Lion release. Microsoft will continue to work closely with Apple to address problems that may occur with Office for Mac 2008 and 2011 and Lion OS.


The Office for Mac team recently posted a blog post concerning Lion compatibility. You can find that blog post by following the link below:
