Page 2 of 3 Word users are treated to a new set of business card templates, and improved support for mouse wheel and trackpad gesture scrolling. Excel users may appreciate the return of various chart formatting options, improved file compatibility with Excel for Windows, various performance improvements, and improved support for multiple displays. PowerPoint gains compatibility with PowerPoint Mobile, improved AppleScript support, and better performance when displaying complex objects, animations and transitions. Changes to Entourage include fixes for issues in vCard export, synchronisation, the display of free/busy information from Exchange Server 2003, the handling of POP errors, better display of hyperlinks in emails, Gmail accounts default to IMAP rather than POP, pictures copied from Safari or from other applications now paste correctly into emails, and Entourage can now be registered as the default application to open vCard, iCalendar and .eml (email) files. Advanced Search has been improved to fix issues that lead to no results being erroneously returned.
