Office for Mac updates
Microsoft has released updates to its Office 2004 and Office 2008 software for Mac. Office 2004 11.5.3 is claimed to offer enhanced stability and performance. A bug has been fixed that had previously caused the program to quit unexpectedly when a document was opened. Several vulnerabilities have also been addressed, now preventing an attacker from crafting a malicious Word, Excel or RTF file that could be used to take complete control of a victim's computer.
Office 2008 12.1.5 is also claimed to offer improved speed and stability, along with several security enhancements. The update offers better typing performance in Excel and Powerpoint when documents from a network share or shared folder appear in the recently used files list.
Office 2004 11.5.3 is available as a 15MB download, while the Office 2008 12.1.5 update requires a 104MB download.
