Lion and Mac version Microsoft software compatible?

Host/reporter Li Guangji readers asked: Apple released the latest operating system lion, the improvement is very attractive, I also want to buy installation, I would like to ask the Mac version of Microsoft software such as office, Outlook, etc. are compatible?　　What if it's incompatible? A: Microsoft has reportedly confirmed that users will encounter problems when running Mac version of Office on the latest Apple operating system lion. The Communicator crashes when MAC office 2011 users use Communicator (Microsoft's Enterprise Messenger chat tool) to send instant messages or to initiate audio or video calls. The second problem is that Outlook cannot import mail from Apple Mail, which Microsoft has yet to make a solution for.　　This issue only affects users who install Office after the operating system has been upgraded to lion, and the inexpensive version of Office for home and students that Mac version does not contain Outlook. In addition, Excel or PowerPoint sometimes crashes, word dates have little problems, MSQuery (for business users to import data from the enterprise database into Excel) can only run on Mac version Office 2011, not run on version 2008, and so on. The Microsoft Mac team said the Mac version of Communicator will be upgraded in the near future to address the problem, but no exact timetable is given. Mac Office 2008 and 2011 do not support many new features that are unique to lion, but Microsoft does not offer a solution.
