Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.2 Update

After being punked on the Office 2004 11.3.1 update, I'm gue ing there won't be a mad dash to grab the Office 2004 11.3.2 update, but just in case you have a change of heart -- the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.2 Update claims to offer "several improvements for PowerPoint and Entourage" and is recommended for all Office 2004 users. But it doe 't a ear to addre any of the security i ues that 11.3.1 was su osed to addre before 11.3.1 was disa eared.

ecific Improvements from the Read Me:

PowerPoint 2004
Stability is improved -- This update fixes an i ue that causes PowerPoint to quit unexpectedly when you open a presentation.

Entourage 2004
Contact names that contain ecial characters are handled correctly -- This update fixes an i ue that causes meeting requests to di lay incorrectly when sent to contacts with names that contain single quotation marks ('), double quotation marks ("), and parentheses.

Public folder me ages are not duplicated -- This update fixes an i ue that causes duplicate me ages to a ear in public folders.

Compatibility with Mirapoint Me age Server is improved -- This update fixes an i ue that causes Entourage to quit unexpectedly when acce ing mail folders on a Mirapoint Me age Server.


If you decide to proceed, make sure you're at Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.0 Update already, because 11.3.2 is not a "combo" updater. And since Office Updates change the version number on some Office a , but not all Office a , the best way confirm what version you actually have is to check the version number of the Microsoft Component Plugin file in the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, which is always updated even if other a aren't.
