I have Office for Mac 2011 installed on my Mac and I’m considering upgrading to Apple’s newest OS, Lion.

Microsoft has been working with Apple from the early days of Lion, and collectively have been able to address many issues leading up to the Lion release. Many of our Office for Mac engineers have been running Lion for months, and are generally having no problems running Office 2011 on it.


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

You can find more information concerning Lion (10.7) compatibility on the following KB article:

Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised.
