• Office 2007 Service Pack 2 is up – avoid it for now

    Posted on April 29, 2009 at 04:48 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    If you’re feeling lucky, Microsoft just posted Office 2007 Service Pack 2 / KB 953195. It’s a massive update, with hundreds of fixes and a handful of improvements.

    For most of us, the main things we’ll notice are save as PDF support (which has always been available via a separate download; now it’s native) and many tweaks to Outlook and Excel. The one I look forward to the most is the promise that Outlook 2007 SP 2 “greatly reduces the number of scenarios in which you receive the following error message when you start Outlook: The data file ‘file name’ was not closed properly. This file is being checked for problems.” I see that message far too often.

    There’s nothing earth shattering in SP2. No need to install it now. Let the pioneers get the arrows in their backs first.

    UPDATE: There’s a thorough discussion of Office 2007 SP2 on the Office Sustained Engingeering blog. Thanks to MR for the heads-up.
