Re: Office 2008 for Mac Updates

Sorry if it wasn't clear but it was a response to John. There's no 
indication of where the message he was replying to came from or who sent
it. 
If you're still in need of further clarification I'm happy to provide it.

It makes no difference whether you have the base installation of 12.0 or 
have applied the 12.0.1 update, what you now need is the update listed as;

Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac Service Pack 1 (12.1.0)

It's available on the Mactopia site 
(http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx)
as the centerpiece captioned

Most Recent Update as well as item #1 in the Newest list located on the 
right side of the same page. That Service Pack includes the same hot fixes

as did the 12.0.1 updater plus tons of more significant improvements to
all 
Office applications & their performance. You don't need 12.0.1 first but
it 
doesn't matter if you already have it applied.

BTW - The MS updates are also available from a variety of other sites, but

most of them simply list the available updates along with a whole slew of 
other (non-MS) stuff. It's very easy to be misled by the way the content
is 
presented and perhaps that's what happened in your case. Regardless, it's 
advisable to obtain the updates from the Mactopia site where the content
is 
strictly Mac Office & a bit clearer.
