No it doesn't, I have it installed here and I don't have Rosetta. System requirements on the box says nothing about Rosetta and there's a big Universal binary icon on it as well.

- guptaneil 16y agoThe application itself is a universal binary, but the installer requires Rosetta. It auto-installs Rosetta when you run the Office installer, unless you installed using Terminal (http://www.mactalk.com.au/11/72330-install-microsoft-office-2008-snow-leopard-without-rosetta.html http://www.mactalk.com.au/11/72330-install-microsoft-office-...) If you didn't use Terminal to install Office, then you must have either upgraded Snow Leopard instead of doing a clean install, which would allow you to use Office without running the installer again, or you have Rosetta installed without realizing it.
- adsr 16y agoYes, I'm absolutely sure that I don't have Rosetta. It seems like an oversight on Microsofts part to require it for a universal binary, 3 years after PPC was continued.
