office.jpgOur best friends at Microsoft have released a “critical” Office 2008 update, 12.1.1, which addresses a number of stability and performance issues.

Issues fixed include charting problems, Entourage crashing when your Mac awakes from sleep (how obnoxious!), and issues involving the conversion of documents to and from the Open XML Format.

Visit the Microsoft Knowledge Base for a complete list of improvements. The update can be installed with the Microsoft AutoUpdate or from Microsoft’s download center. Get the behemoth 153.3 MB download now if you want your Entourage to wake up with your Mac again!

Unbelievably, Word is still bouncing around within Spaces. It constantly moves from one to another. Why can't Microsoft fix this problem? I have no problem with any other program.

I've had no luck with this update. I run it on a MacBook pro that has a legitimate, properly installed copy of Office 2008, and which took the SP1 release of Office 2008 a few weeks ago without fuss. When I try and run the 12.1.1 update, the installer checks my local (and only) Hard Drive and then complains it can't find a copy of Office 2008 to update! I am reminded daily of just how much Microsoft sucks.
