Office 2003 Service Pack 3 verfuegbar

Für mich ein wenig überraschend ist heute das Service Pack 3 für Office 2003 herausgekommen.


Es ist in verschiedenen Sprachen hier herunterladbar. Vor der Installation sollte *dringend* die Dokumentation dazu durchgelesen werden. Soweit ich auf die Schnelle herausfinden konnte, wurden zum Beispiel – ähnlich wie beim Service Pack 2 für Office XP – einige Sicherheitsfeatures eingeführt/verbessert. Der KB 938810 beschreibt Änderungen im Umgang mit verschiedenen Dateiformaten.


Hier noch ein paar weitere KB-Artikel:
