Microsoft has announced that it will be updating Office 2011 to support versioning, auto save, and full-screen for Mac OS X Lion; however, it may be a few months before those updates are ready.
First, today we released an update to Communicator for Mac that fixes the "crash issue" on Lion. It will come through Microsoft AutoUpdate in the next day or so. Thanks for your patience on this.
Second, Office for Mac 2004 will not (ever) work on Lion, as we stated in our original blog. The reason for this is because Office 2004 was a PowerPC-based product and Lion no longer includes Rosetta. Now would be a great time to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 if you're upgrading to Lion!
Finally, the most common question – yes, we are working hard with Apple to enable versioning, auto save, and full-screen for Office for Mac 2011. I know your next question will be "when?", and unfortunately I can't answer that – but it's likely measured in months not days – just to set expectations.
