Still does not support XPS, and still not 64-bit! - Version: 12.2.3, 11/20/2009 11:40AM PST

How is it that Microsoft doesn't support their own XPS file format in Office 2008?!

See:

64-bit Office is still nowhere to be found...

12.2.3 Update can't be installed on this disk. - Version: 12.2.3, 11/11/2009 04:59PM PST

David Virshup

Word has been crashing regularly since Snow Leopard came out. I hoped this Update would help but *** IT WON'T INSTALL**. I have Word 2008 Business (upgraded from 2004). The message I get from the Update Installer is "A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."

It directs me to a non-existent web page at microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx claimed to be labeled
"I can't install Office 2008 for Mac updates"

Thoughts? Last thing I want to do is un-install and reinstall 2004 then upgrade and then update. Other things to do in my life - like learn to use Pages...

The 1223 update broke Entourage - Version: 12.2.3, 11/11/2009 04:55PM PST

The download of the 1223 updater completed OK, as did the installation. But Entourage can no longer retrieve my various POP server passwords from my Snow Leopard Keychain. And when I re-enter them, they don't get saved in the Keychain. So every time I run Entourage I have to enter all my passwords again.
ARRRRGH!!!!!
