Microsoft Office updates
At noon on Tuesday, Microsoft unveiled updates for both Office 2004 and 2008 for Mac, bringing with them many enhancements and optimizations. The Office 2008 update includes fixes for all of the included applications in the suite – Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage – such as enhanced printing or display options. Formatting, responsiveness, and compatibility with Microsoft Exchange Servers is also improved. The update is available directly from Microsoft, or through Microsoft Auto Update.
In addition to the Office 2008 Service Pack, Microsoft also unveiled a new update for the former 2004 version as well. The update simply states that it resolves a number of security and stability issues, including a vulnerability related to an attacker overwriting the contents of active memory using malicious code.
