#MICROSOFT AUTOUPDATE MAC OFFICE 2011 FOR MAC#

Office for Mac 2011 debuted in October 2010, and is available in two editions for the general public, as well as others for academic and enterprise customers. The most embarrassing blunders in recent years were in February 2010 when it stopped serving a security update to Windows XP PCs that were crashing with the notorious "Blue Screen of Death," and two years earlier, when Microsoft shut down an update for Windows Vista that crippled systems with endless reboots. Microsoft has been forced to yank, then re-release, updates before. "Who has the time to go through all the BS to get their database rebuilt and get Outlook running again? I'm looking for an alternative."Īll Office for Mac 2011 users will be offered the revised SP2, including those who had downloaded the original April 12 version. "I'm really upset with this SP2 update," said someone identified as "ggruda" in a message added to a long support thread Tuesday.

The new SP2 will repair any databases corrupted by the original upgrade, said Microsoft in a support document, which also spelled out tips for migrating AppleScript and Autocorrect lists to new folder destinations.Īlthough Microsoft's support forums do not yet include messages from users who have applied the SP2 re-release, customers have not been shy about commenting on last week's gaffe. While SP2 offered improvements for several applications in the suite, most targeted the Outlook email client bundled with the upper-end retail edition, Home and Business, as well as the academic and enterprise versions.
