We downloaded and applied the 11.2.6 update to our copy of Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac with no problems. Only the two file noted were updated with the new version number--the applications carry 11.2.3 for Word, 11.2.4 for PowerPoint and 11.2.5 for Excel and Entourage. After several hours standard use of Word, PowerPoint and Excel, we found no new problems. We don't use Entourage. [Bill Fox]
