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.

- 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.
- 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.
Another application that was hosted for free download by Digital River is Microsoft Office 2008 for Macintosh. Just as everything else, the Office 2008 downloads have been pulled also. If you need the installation files, chances are slim, but a few options remain.
Download Microsoft Office 2008 Mac
Important Note February 2015
Microsoft has taken down all previous and current download servers (msft-dnl.digitalrivercontent.net, msft.digitalrivercontent.net, digitalrivercontent.net and drcdn.blob.core.windows.net)! At this point it is unlikely that the downloads will ever come back.
Microsoft might send out a replacement for broken office installation CDs. A small handling fee applies to this service.
Purchase an Office 2008 Activation Key
Download Microsoft Office 2008.dmg Free
Alternatively, you can purchase a new copy of Office 2008. As this is quite an old version now, the software is very affordable. Of course, you may use any existing product key to activate Office 2008 on a second device. Here are some purchase options (eBay / Amazon). Please also check the purchase links on the Office 2011 Direct Download Links page. It could be significantly easier to find a license for Office 2011 at a good price.
