Office 2008 12.1.1 and Office 2004 11.5 available today

Today, we released the latest and greatest: Office 2008 12.1.1 and Office 2004 11.5.

'What's in Office 2004?' I hear you ask. First and foremost, 11.5 delivers built-in support for Open XML file formats (that's the .docx, .pptx, or .xlsx files that were first introduced in Office 2007 and that are also natively supported in Office 2008). 11.5 has a pile of reliability and stability fixes; for more details, check out our Microsoft Knowledge Base article. And yes, 11.5 is a combo updater, so you can start with any version of Office 2004, download this update, and be completely up-to-date. Yay!

Office 2008 12.1.1 has a lot of nifty stuff in it, mostly concentrated on improving performance and stability. There's a few other goodies in there; Excel got quite a lot of fixes into this release. As always, the Microsoft Knowledge Base article has plenty of details.

Go forth and download!

  I'm running OSX 10.5.4 on a MBPro and cannot get this update to take.  It errors out saying that the installation cannot be made on the selected drive (i.e. search for a previous Mac Office 2008 installation).  I'm running Office 2008 12.1.0 and the Mac HD is the only drive on this computer. This issue has been documented over at Mac Fix It http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20080626114924292 Is there any way to remedy this problem without completely deleting the existing install of Office 2008 for Mac and then reinstalling?
