I thought my response: " Ir works well on my unsupported 450 MP running 10.5.8"
answered that concern. Also, MS Office is what's at 11.6.6,not the OS which
hasn't progressed beyond 10.7. According to MS, the OS requirement is: Mac OS X
10.2.8 (Jaguar) or a later version of Mac OS. Nothing about Intel chips. I
think you're mixing OS version requirements with MS Office '04 version
requirements.
