Mac Office:2004 Service Pack 2

Released 9/20/05.

thanks for the link

it looks like this upgrade will NOT work w/my older office "X." is that rt?

i don't use office 2004 cuz too friggin slow!!

i wonder if w/the upgrade it will be fast enuf to use (i have some giant word docs, etc.)

let me clarify:

in order for it to be worth it to me to now start using office (word) 2004 instead of my older (faster) word X, this service pack/upgrade would have to make word 2004 a LOT faster

do we know if it does?

thanks again

I've never had any speed issues with Word using Office:2004...however I'm not using giant Word files either, sorry!

I am not sure if the Test Drive version of Office:2004 includes the latest service packs, and if not, if you can download and install them using the Test Drive version. If so, that would be your best bet in finding out if the new service pack makes Word work for you.

ok, thanks again

i'll experiment

I occasionally use very large Word files, and scrolling speed in Word 2004 is horrible even after the Service Pack. However, for most other (smaller) files, I find Word 2004 has improved after the SP.
