Microsoft Office 2001: Mac Academic & OS 10

[stripedbass]

I have a 350 Mhz imac with OS 10.3.9.

Does anyone know whether MS Office 2001: Mac Academic will work with my iMac?

Where can I find a description of this version and its system requirements? I've tried but failed.

Basically, I need to know whether it can work with OS 10.3.9.

Any feedback will be highly appreciated. Sorry for being so computer illiterate.

Thanks.

From M$ System Requirements (bottom of page)
System Requirements for Office 2001 for Mac:

To use Microsoft Office 2001 for Mac, your computer must meet the following requirements:
• PowerPC, Mac OS compatible (clock speed of at least 120 MHz recommended)
• Mac OS 8.1 to 9.x (Mac OS 8.5 or later recommended)
• 32 MB of RAM with at least 1 MB of Virtual Memory for Mac OS 8.1 to 8.6; 48 MB of RAM with at least 1 MB of Virtual Memory for Mac OS 9.x
• At least 160 MB of available hard disk space for a default installation of Office 2001
• 75 MB for a minimum installation of Office 2001
• 80 MB for a default installation of an individual program (Word, Excel, PowerPoint®)
• Installation of Value Pack components requires additional hard disk space. The Office 2001 Value Pack offers 120 MB of additional clip art; 40 MB of additional templates and wizards; and 140 MB of help, add-ins, and other components.
• A CD-ROM drive or a connection to a network if installing from a network volume
• A monitor that can display 256 grays or 256 colors and a resolution of 640 x 480 or higher

Additional items or services required to use certain features:
• 9600 bits per second (BPS) modem (28.8 Kbps or higher recommended)
• An Internet connection through either an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network. Internet access might require a separate fee to an ISP; local or long-distance telephone charges might also apply.

It would thus seem your system meets/exceeds the requirements.

I'm pretty sure that Office 2001 will run via Classic in OSX.


AFAIK, Office 2004 is the only Mac version available that runs 'native' on OSX.

Thanks! I really appreciate it.

You actually answered my real concern. I want an MS Office version that runs native with OSX. Now I know that 2001 does not.

Thanks!

P.S. I accidentally typed this response in the wrong place so you will see it twice.
