Mhhh. Microsoft geht mir mal wieder auf den Sack!
Jeder vernüftige Kleinstladen schafft es die Serveranbindung so aufzustocken, dass es solche Probs nicht am Anfang gibt.

Ok, vielleicht bin ich auch schon zu lange auf der "guten Seite der Macht"

 

[pdr2002]

Jetzt wird es auch in der UpdateFunktion angezeigt, sollen schlappe 23 MB sein. Nur runterladen kann ich es nicht. Der Server soll angeblich überlastet sein. Könnt ihr bitte mal Platz machen, Danke motz

What's new in this version:
This service pack addresses several stability and security issues with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Entourage for Office 2004, Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) Client 1.0.3 for Mac, and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications for Office 2004.

Improvements in Word 2004


AutoRecover functions correctly when FileVault is enabled

Previously, setting the AutoRecover folder location (Word menu, Preferences command, File Locations) to a location inside a FileVault-protected home folder did not work. This has been fixed. FileVault is an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit keys that secures your home folder by automatically encrypting the contents. For more information about FileVault, see Apple Help.

Security is improved when you open a document that has macros

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now support an additional level of security that affects macros that open other Office documents containing macros. You can use the Application.AutomationSecurity property to set the level of security desired. For more information about the Application.AutomationSecurity property, see Knowledge Base (KB) article KB 886633 at http://support.microsoft.com.

Text changes to the font selected on the Font menu

In some cases, a font change did not take effect when you used the Font menu. This happened when the WYSIWYG font and style menus check box was cleared in Preferences (on the Word menu, click Preferences, and then click the General tab) and then the Font menu was used to change the font of text in a document. This problem has been fixed. The text now changes to the font that you select in the Font menu.

Swiss German proofing tools are correctly detected

Previously, the Compatibility Report in Word erroneously reported the following:


Swiss German proofing tools are not installed.


This problem has been fixed. Text marked as Swiss German text is proofed using the German proofing tools, which are installed by default. The Compatibility Report no longer reports this issue.

Text selection is improved

Previously, when you double-clicked a word to select it, and then dragged the selection to include more words, Word sometimes selected the preceding word in addition to the words you selected. This problem has been fixed. Word no longer selects the word preceding the word you select.



Improvements for PowerPoint 2004


Performance is improved when you play movies in a slide show

When you play a movie in a slide show, performance is improved, resulting in movies playing more smoothly in most cases.


Compatibility with fonts is improved

Compatibility with fonts is improved, resulting in better overall appearance of fonts. Font compatibility includes Open Type fonts, symbol fonts, and fonts used in presentations created in other versions of PowerPoint.

Dragging objects on a slide works correctly when the ruler is turned on

When you drag an object on your slide and the ruler is turned on, the object now remains in the position where you put it.

Security is improved when you open a document that has macros

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now support an additional level of security that affects macros that open other Office documents containing macros. You can use the Application.AutomationSecurity property to set the level of security desired. For more information about the Application.AutomationSecurity property, see Knowledge Base (KB) article KB 886633 at http://support.microsoft.com.



Improvements for Excel 2004

Improvements for Entourage 2004


Entourage icon remains stationary when a connection error occurs

When a connection error occurs and an error log entry is generated, the Entourage icon will no longer bounce in the Dock.

Sent messages display sent status in the Microsoft Outlook Info Bar

In some cases, messages sent from Entourage did not appear in the Info Bar as "Sent" when you viewed them in Microsoft Outlook. This has been fixed. Now, when a message is sent from Entourage, the Info Bar shows the message as "Sent" when you view it in Microsoft Outlook.

Connection to the Internet by using an internal modem is improved

Previously, connecting to the Internet by using an internal modem could cause problems. Entourage attempted to connect to another internal modem or Infrared Data Association (IrDA) wireless device after it made a Point-to-Point (PPP) connection to an external modem. This problem has been fixed. Entourage now connects to the Internet by using the current connection.

Improved SMTP using SSL connections

Sending e-mail messages by using SSL connections sometimes caused problems. In some cases, the message was not sent. This problem has been fixed.

Pictures from iPhoto can be attached to an e-mail message

Attaching pictures from iPhoto to e-mail messages sometimes caused problems. In some cases, a file with the file name Attachment (PlayerPro document).669 was attached instead. This problem has been fixed.

Microsoft User Data folder is accessible from network volume

Accessing your Microsoft User Data folder from a network volume sometimes caused problems. In some cases, when you attempted to access the folder, the following messages appeared:


Entourage cannot access your data. To attempt to fix the problem, rebuild your database.

An unknown (16008) error occurred.



This problem has been fixed.

Keyboard shortcuts in Adobe CS products are available when Entourage is open

In some cases, keyboard shortcuts in Adobe CS products were not available when Entourage was open on your computer. This problem has been fixed. Keyboard shortcuts are now available in Adobe CS products when Entourage is open on your computer.

Entourage can connect to Domino IMAP servers

Entourage could not connect to Domino IMAP servers that use double-backslash "\\" as a directory separator. This problem has been fixed.

SSL support for Exchange delegate access is improved

Entourage 2004 now allows Exchange delegate access over SSL.

Connecting to a POP account is improved

Connection to a POP account when using Entourage sometimes caused problems. In some cases, Entourage did not detect that the server had closed the connection. This problem has been fixed.



Improvements for Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) Client


Remote Desktop Connection Client 1.0.3 for Mac provides improved stability when you minimize the client window and when you copy and paste data from the client window to Macintosh applications. Stability is also improved for users of Mac OS X 10.3 and later, and when Remote Desktop Connection Client is used on Macintosh computers with PowerPC G5 processors.


Product Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.2.8 or higher

BTW: versiontracker oder google hilft bei solchen Fragen weiter

Ich habe mit Office 2004 immer noch nicht angetan (auch weil es hier keine dt. Version gibt). Werde es aber wahrscheinlich noch tun. Wie sieht es denn mit dem Ressourcenverbrauch aus? Aller Applikationen meine ich.

Bei mir tut es die Updatefunktion nach wie vor nicht (Fehlermeldung). Seufz, Microsoft. Aber manuell von der Website ziehen hat bei beiden Macs natürlich funktioniert.

Auf dem G3 merkt mans schon. Langsam, aber es geht. Auf dem G4 merke ich keinen Unterschied. Ca 450 MB Umfang insgesamt. Anscheinend liegt ein Fehler bei der Installation darin, dass man zwar automatisch wählen kann, ob die alte Installation (voriges Office-Paket) deinstalliert wird- aber, die wesentlichen Benutzerdaten sind auch dann, wenn man ohne Deinstallation installiert, schon gelöscht. Das heisst: Bei Entourage musste ich Filter, Adressen, Konten bei beiden Rechnern komplett neu eingeben: Die Übernahmefunktion funktioniert nicht. Außerdem stürzt Powerpoint erstmal bedrohlich ab. Man muss den Rechner neu starten (was aber nicht gemeldet wird)- dann läuft alles zufrieden stellend.
Vom Handling her sehe ich schon einige Vorteile. Ich finde, die Investition lohnt sich, trotz der kleinen Ärgernisse.
Ciao

Hui, jetzt startet Word usw. doch mal richtig schön schnell....klasse update! carro

 

[csb]

Jau, Word und Excel gehen ratzfatz auf! cumber

 

[todd]

zumindest dieses update hat sich mal richtig gelohnt! pepp

 

[MisterMini]

Hab das Thema über die Suche gefunden.-)

Wenn ich das SP1 für Office 2004 durchführe, meldet er zuerst, dass 88 Dateien geändert werden müssen, braucht dann ein bisschen und bricht ab mit der Fehlermeldung "Fehler 11002:2-14" - ich hab das Update noch mal heruntergeladen, der Updater funktioniert ja auch, aber der Fehler kommt jedes Mal. Office ist dabei nicht geöffnte. Ich habe 10.4.2, weiß da jemand weiter?

 

[Johan.Wolff]

Ich habe ein ähnliches Problem. Ich habe ein Entourage 2004 aus dem Paket eines Exchange 2003 Enterprise Servers. Also als einzelnes Programm. Beim Versuch irgendwelche Updates dafür einzuspielen ==> aktuell noch SP1 für Office 2004, krieg ich immer wieder die Aussage, er könne das Programm nicht finden. Es läuft aber definitiv. Hat irgendwer ne Idee.

ps. Die Hotline von M$ äusserte sich wiefolgt ==> Man müsse zusätzliche zu einer Enterprise Lizenz (die ja ansich überhaupt nicht konstenintesiv ist ;-)) (255 Lizenzen) noch einen Wartungsvertag abschliessen....
