Microsoft Office 2004 - 11.1.0

Improvements in Word 2004

• AutoRecover functions correctly when FileVault is enabled

  Previously, setting the AutoRecover folder location (Word menu, Preferences command, File Locations) to a location inside a FileVault-protected home folder did not work. This has been fixed. FileVault is an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit keys that secures your home folder by automatically encrypting the contents. For more information about FileVault, see Apple Help.

• Security is improved when you open a document that has macros

  Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now support an additional level of security that affects macros that open other Office documents containing macros. You can use the Application.AutomationSecurity property to set the level of security desired. For more information about the Application.AutomationSecurity property, see Knowledge Base (KB) article KB 886633 at http://support.microsoft.com.

• Text changes to the font selected on the Font menu

  In some cases, a font change did not take effect when you used the Font menu. This happened when the WYSIWYG font and style menus check box was cleared in Preferences (on the Word menu, click Preferences, and then click the General tab) and then the Font menu was used to change the font of text in a document. This problem has been fixed. The text now changes to the font that you select in the Font menu.

• Swiss German proofing tools are correctly detected

  Previously, the Compatibility Report in Word erroneously reported the following:

  Swiss German proofing tools are not installed.

  This problem has been fixed. Text marked as Swiss German text is proofed using the German proofing tools, which are installed by default. The Compatibility Report no longer reports this issue.

• Text selection is improved

  Previously, when you double-clicked a word to select it, and then dragged the selection to include more words, Word sometimes selected the preceding word in addition to the words you selected. This problem has been fixed. Word no longer selects the word preceding the word you select.

Improvements for PowerPoint 2004

• Performance is improved when you play movies in a slide show

  When you play a movie in a slide show, performance is improved, resulting in movies playing more smoothly in most cases.

• Compatibility with fonts is improved

  Compatibility with fonts is improved, resulting in better overall appearance of fonts. Font compatibility includes Open Type fonts, symbol fonts, and fonts used in presentations created in other versions of PowerPoint.

• Dragging objects on a slide works correctly when the ruler is turned on

  When you drag an object on your slide and the ruler is turned on, the object now remains in the position where you put it.

• Security is improved when you open a document that has macros

  Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now support an additional level of security that affects macros that open other Office documents containing macros. You can use the Application.AutomationSecurity property to set the level of security desired. For more information about the Application.AutomationSecurity property, see Knowledge Base (KB) article KB 886633 at http://support.microsoft.com.

Improvements for Excel 2004

• Security is improved when you open a document that has macros

Improvements for Entourage 2004

• Entourage icon remains stationary when a connection error occurs

  When a connection error occurs and an error log entry is generated, the Entourage icon will no longer bounce in the Dock.

• Sent messages display sent status in the Microsoft Outlook Info Bar

  In some cases, messages sent from Entourage did not appear in the Info Bar as "Sent" when you viewed them in Microsoft Outlook. This has been fixed. Now, when a message is sent from Entourage, the Info Bar shows the message as "Sent" when you view it in Microsoft Outlook.

• Connection to the Internet by using an internal modem is improved

  Previously, connecting to the Internet by using an internal modem could cause problems. Entourage attempted to connect to another internal modem or Infrared Data Association (IrDA) wireless device after it made a Point-to-Point (PPP) connection to an external modem. This problem has been fixed. Entourage now connects to the Internet by using the current connection.

• Improved SMTP using SSL connections

  Sending e-mail messages by using SSL connections sometimes caused problems. In some cases, the message was not sent. This problem has been fixed.

• Pictures from iPhoto can be attached to an e-mail message

  Attaching pictures from iPhoto to e-mail messages sometimes caused problems. In some cases, a file with the file name Attachment (PlayerPro document).669 was attached instead. This problem has been fixed.

• Microsoft User Data folder is accessible from network volume

  Accessing your Microsoft User Data folder from a network volume sometimes caused problems. In some cases, when you attempted to access the folder, the following messages appeared:

  • Entourage cannot access your data. To attempt to fix the problem, rebuild your database.
  • An unknown (16008) error occurred.

  This problem has been fixed.

• Keyboard shortcuts in Adobe CS products are available when Entourage is open

  In some cases, keyboard shortcuts in Adobe CS products were not available when Entourage was open on your computer. This problem has been fixed. Keyboard shortcuts are now available in Adobe CS products when Entourage is open on your computer.

• Entourage can connect to Domino IMAP servers

  Entourage could not connect to Domino IMAP servers that use double-backslash "\\" as a directory separator. This problem has been fixed.

• SSL support for Exchange delegate access is improved

  Entourage 2004 now allows Exchange delegate access over SSL.

• Connecting to a POP account is improved

  Connection to a POP account when using Entourage sometimes caused problems. In some cases, Entourage did not detect that the server had closed the connection. This problem has been fixed.

Improvements for Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) Client

Remote Desktop Connection Client 1.0.3 for Mac provides improved stability when you minimize the client window and when you copy and paste data from the client window to Macintosh applications. Stability is also improved for users of Mac OS X 10.3 and later, and when Remote Desktop Connection Client is used on Macintosh computers with PowerPC G5 processors.
