As speculated, Office 2008 for Mac version 12.0.1 was released yesterday. It contains fixes for most of the applications in the suite.
Many Word bugs have been addressed and fixed, including one that causes the app to crach upon launch (wow, I imagine that wouldn’t be frustrating at all?). A few security fixes have been added, and a fix for a security hole caused by the Office 2008 installer has been addressed.
Excel has the WORKDAY function all fixed up, plus, the app should be more stable.
Entourage received a whole lot of work too, including synchronization fixes, notification sound fixes, improvements for importing and filtering rules… In fact, I could go on and on with the fixes Microsoft had to work on for this update. For more details on the update from Microsoft, click here.
The Microsoft Office 2008 12.0.1 update weighs in at 114.1MB, and can be downloaded from Microsoft, or through your AutoUpdate application. Enjoy!

What can I say? MS Office 2008 really seems to be an improvement compared to 2004, as far as rumours go—
I didn’t buy the upgrade since export from Mellel and Pages does the job for me- in case of emergency there’s 2004, so no further applause for crap…

That’s nice!
I upgrade my Office 2008 and when I launch MS Word, it says “Word has been disabled for this arghitecture”
What?? It was working fine on my Intel mac before I installed the update!
The next step?? Uninstall the update… So after looking in the “installed updates” section in the microsoft update manager - there’s no updates installed.
Nice one, Microsoft!!
I’m sure it takes pure genius to get something like that right…
