I as not sure if this is an Office question or an Excel question, but I will start with the problem. If this should be posted in the Excel forum, please let me know and I will post there.



My old Mac desktop died a dirty death, and I bought a new Mac running 10.7.2

I was told by the folks in the Apple store that my version of Office (2008) would work with the new OS and Processor, but I am having problems. At first, I migrated my files to the new computer. When I would open a Word file, more than one would open. Then I reinstalled Office, and that problem 'may' be fixed, but I have an even more urgent issue: Excel won't run. When it starts, I get the following notice:

The basic question is: Will Office 2008 work with the new OS? What have others experienced? Any thoughts as to how to fix Excel?
