Microsoft Office 2004 is an office suite including the text processor Word, the spreadsheet application Excel, the presentation software PowerPoint and the mail client Entourage. It is often also referred to as Office:mac 2004.

There are three different editions available: 1) the Standard Edition was available for $399 USD (upgrade: $239 USD), 2) the Professional Edition additionally included Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Professional for a price of $499 USD (upgrade: $329 USD), 3) the Student and Teacher Edition for $149 USD (no upgrade and not upgradable).

Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 was released 11 May 2004. As of 10 January 2012 Office:mac 2004 is no longer supported by Microsoft. Office:mac 2004 was the last PowerPC-only office suite from Microsoft: it requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 'Jaguar' or later and does run on Intel Macs through Rosetta, which was included in Mac OS X 10.4/Intel through Mac OS X 10.6.

Student and Teacher Edition

Top DL: This edition is like the Standard Edition, but is not available as an upgrade. It also cannot be upgraded to a newer version of Office:mac. It contains three product keys instead of just one in the Standard Edition.

2nd DL: This DL contains the updaters (11.6.0 to 11.6.6). These apply to: Office 2004 Standard Edition, Office 2004 Student and Teacher Edition, Office 2004 Professional Edition, Word 2004, Excel 2004, PowerPoint 2004, Entourage 2004. Earlier updates are not required.

3rd DL: Office:mac 2004 cannot open or save OpenXML format files (like .docx, .pptx and such). Included here is a free converter from September 13, 2011 that converts these files on PowerPC-based Macs so that Office:mac v.X and 2004 can be used to edit the contents of such files.

4th DL: The Apple Internal Edition of Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. It doesn't require serial number and it's rumored to be faster than the commercial version.

When available, Office:mac 2004 Standard Edition and Professional Edition can also be added to this page.

Installation

For all versions, mount the disk image and simply drag and drop the Microsoft Office 2004 folder into your Application folder.
Alternatively the included installer can be used (.pkg or .mpkg).

Trial Edition

Office:mac 2004 Test Drive is still downloadable from an Australian Microsoft site. It is a 30 day trial that includes almost all the features found in Office 2004, but with printing disabled plus other limitations. Available languages are English (US), German, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish. The Test Drive version is not available in the Dutch language.

The 30 day Test Drive may not actually work, either, as there was an updated fix available. See article TA23775, the link for the fix it refers to is no longer valid, therefore the trial version may or may not work.

Compatibility
Architecture: PPC

Minimum System Requirements:

  • G3, Mac OS X-compatible processor or higher.
  • Mac OS X version 10.2.8 or later.
  • 256 MB of RAM.
  • 450 MB of available hard-disk space for a recommended install of Office; 630 MB for a full drag-and-drop install of Office; or 415 MB of available hard-disk space for a recommended install of Word, PowerPoint, or Excel standalone programs; 595 MB for a full drag-and-drop install of the Word, PowerPoint, or Excel standalone programs.
  • CD-ROM drive (or connection to a local area network if installing over a network).
  • 1024x768 or higher resolution monitor displaying thousands of colors
  • Mouse or compatible pointing device
  • Note:
    • If an earlier version of Office is installed on your computer, you do not need to remove it to set up Office 2004. However, you should remove any Preview or Test Drive versions of Office 2004, because these free versions of the program can interfere with the Office 2004 installation.
    • The Open XML File Format Converter runs on Mac OS X 10.4.9 or higher and produces converted files that require Office v.X 10.1.9 or Office 2004 11.4.0 or higher.
    • Intel-Macs that run Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger', 10.5 'Leopard' or 10.6 'Snow Leopard' are capable of running OS X PowerPC applications through the included Rosetta emulation layer.
    • IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to not open files (like Word documents or PowerPoint presentations) from unknown sources: this is most likely everything you retrieve from the Internet.

Office 2004 for Mac is a version of Microsoft Office developed for Mac OS X. It is equivalent to Office 2003 for Windows. The software was originally written for PowerPC Macs, so Macs with Intel CPUs must run the program under Mac OS X's Rosetta emulation layer. For this reason, it is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 and newer.

Office 2004 was replaced by its successor, Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, which was developed as a universal binary to run natively on Intel Macs. However, Office 2008 did not include support for Visual Basic for Applications, which made Microsoft extend the support period of Office 2004 from October 13, 2009 to January 10, 2012.[3] Microsoft ultimately shipped support for Visual Basic in Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, which also dropped PowerPC support altogether. Support for Office 2004 ended January 10, 2012.[2]

Editions[edit]

Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 is available in three editions: Standard, Professional, and Student and Teacher. All three editions include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. The Professional Edition adds Virtual PC. The Student and Teacher Edition cannot be upgraded, which means when a later version of Office is released, people who purchased the Student and Teacher edition must buy a new package.

Features[edit]

Word 2004[edit]

Microsoft Word is a word processor which possesses a dominant market share in the word processor market. Its proprietary DOC format is considered a de facto standard, although its successive Windows version (Word 2007) uses a new XML-based format called .DOCX, but has the capability of saving and opening the old .DOC format.

The new Office Open XML format was built into the next version of Office for Mac (Office 2008). However, it is also supported on Office 2004 with the help of a free conversion tool available from Microsoft.[4]

Excel 2004[edit]

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program. Like Microsoft Word, it possesses a dominant market share. It was originally a competitor to the dominant Lotus 1-2-3, but it eventually outsold it and became the de facto standard for spreadsheet programs.

Entourage 2004[edit]

Microsoft Entourage is an email application. Its personal information management features include a calendar, address book, task list, note list, and project manager. With Entourage 2004, Microsoft began offering a Project Center, which allows the user to create and organize projects. Information may come from within Entourage or outside the program.

PowerPoint 2004[edit]

Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular presentation program used to create slideshows composed of text, graphics, movies and other objects, which can be displayed on-screen and navigated through by the presenter or printed out on transparencies or slides. It too possesses a dominant market share. Movies, videos, sounds and music, as well as wordart and autoshapes can be added to slideshows.

Virtual PC[edit]

Included with Office 2004 for Mac Professional Edition, Microsoft Virtual PC is a hypervisor which emulates Microsoft Windowsoperating systems on Mac OS X which are PowerPC-based. Virtual PC does not work on Intel-based Macs and in August 2006, Microsoft announced it would not be ported to Intel-based Macintoshes, effectively discontinuing the product as PowerPC-based Macintoshes are no longer manufactured.

Criticism[edit]

Images inserted into any Office 2004 application by using either cut and paste or drag and drop result in a file that does not display the inserted graphic when viewed on a Windows machine. Instead, the Windows user is told 'QuickTime and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture'. Peter Clark of Geek Boy's Blog presented one solution in December 2004.[5] However, this issue persists in Office 2008.

Microsoft Office Mac Student Edition

There is no support for editing right to left and bidirectional languages (such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.) in Office 2004. This issue has not been fixed in Office 2008 or 2011 either.[6][7]
