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.

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.
