Excellent! Microsoft has released Service Pack 1 for Office 2004. I haven’t found a list of fixes yet, and I’m away from my Mac so I can’t download it to try it out. It’s supposed to be available via the Microsoft AutoUpdate tool or directly from the MS Mac page.
I commend the Mac BU on getting this out so quickly, and I’m pleased to see that the PR is pushing MERP, the Microsoft Error Reporting Protocol. MERP is the Mac version of the Office Corporate Error Reporting (CER) tool. Netscape pioneered this kind of automatic error reporting in 1996 or so, and Microsoft has refined it into a variety of tools that give them a great deal of quantitative data about what breaks, when, and under what conditions. I’ve been very pleased with the overall stability of Office 2004, and the quick release of this SP is an excellent sign.
