Office XP SP2 English is out!

[Aaron]

Its here!

SP-2 includes new security updates that enhance the protection of Office Web components from hackers, and an Excel 2002 update that prevents the loss of digital signatures when auto-saving spreadsheets.

The service pack also include security updates already released, including those that prevent Word from running ActiveX controls when the user is using Word to edit e-mail messages and has configured Outlook to disable script.

It also provides additional protection against exploits in Excel, which could potentially run macros without warning.

On the stability front, SP-2 will include an update for Microsoft Word 2002 that corrects an issue in which the application may unexpectedly close when using a VBA macro to paste a graphic or shape; an update for PowerPoint 2002 that corrects the application from unexpectedly closing when clicking on a link to view a different slide in the slide sorter view; and an update for Outlook 2002 that stops the application from unexpectedly closing when a mail recipient from an e-mail message is added to the user's Contacts list.

If you already have the slipstreamed SP1 installed,just follow these instructions to install the SP2 admin version over the top;

Double click the oxpsp2a.exe and extract the two files to a folder.I named the folder C:\officeXPSP2

Now just double click the MAINSP2ff.msp file and SP2 will be installed.
