   Microsoft Office 2011 14.2.4 and 2008 12.3.4

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Microsoft has released Microsoft [1]Office 2011 14.2.4 and [2]Office
   2008 12.3.4, with Office 2011 gaining Retina display support.
   Additionally, version 14.2.4 brings a number of improvements to
   Outlook, including the display of reminders for calendar events on all
   calendars (previously, reminders were only displayed in the default
   account's calendar). The update also changes the HTML syntax of new
   signatures to be compatible with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion and the latest
   version of WebKit, improves handling of partially downloaded messages,
   fixes a crash that occurred when some messages were moved via
   client-side rules, and more (see the [3]release notes for a complete
   rundown of changes). However, [4]Microsoft has heard that a 'small
   number of users' have been experiencing difficulty in updating to
   version 14.2.4, and the company is working with Apple to resolve the
   problem.

   The Office 2008 12.3.4 update gets a fix for an issue that crashed
   Excel after clicking Insert Object and then clicking to select the
   Display as icon check box in the Insert Object dialog box. It also
   includes unspecified improvements in stability, reliability, and
   performance. (Free updates as a [5]download from the Office for Mac Web
   site or through Microsoft AutoUpdate, 111 MB/218.4 MB)
