Mac Office Update Coming - No, Really!

Your IT - Home IT

Microsoft's Mac Business Unit says revised Office for Mac 2004 11.3.2 and Office for Mac v.X 10.1.9 updaters will be out in the near future, possibly by the end of this week.

It turns out that much the code in the previous erroneous release - those pieces not related to security issues - had been tested and approved, and so the plan is to simply omit the security patches from the replacement updates.

This does imply that further updaters will appear in the reasonably near future to deliver the held-over security fixes, and hopefully others to address the recently identified vulnerabilities in Word.

For those who did install last week's update before it was withdrawn, Microsoft says "there's no urgent need to uninstall the patch", but it remains to be seen whether the replacement updater will work if the bogus release has already been applied, or if reinstallation of the suite is necessary.
