Microsoft fixes Mac Office bug
Microsoft this afternoon released an update for Mac Office 2008 that the company says will fix a file-format problem encountered by users after the July 20 release of Service Pack 2 for the Mac Office suite. You can download the fix here.
Mac PowerPoint users originally brought the problem to our attention, saying that the previous Service Pack 2 update prevented them from opening PowerPoint files previously saved with the ".pptx" extension. However, the accompanying support document indicates that Mac Office and Excel files were impacted, as well.
If you were experiencing the problem previously, let us know if the update fixes it for you.
