   Microsoft Office 2011 14.3.2 and 2008 12.3.6

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Microsoft has released [1]Office 2011 14.3.2 and [2]Office 2008 12.3.6,
   both of which address a security vulnerability that could 'allow
   information disclosure if a user opens a specially crafted email
   message.' According to the [3]security bulletin on Microsoft's Web
   site, the updates ensure that both versions of Microsoft Office for Mac
   require user consent to download content from external sources.
   Additionally, the Office 2011 14.3.2 update includes [4]several fixes,
   primarily aimed at Outlook. It squashes a bug that didn't save BCC
   recipients in Gmail IMAP draft messages, fixes an issue where messages
   were undeliverable if addressed to contacts that were created in x500
   format, ensures that contractions aren't marked as spelling errors, and
   fixes a problem with the Offline Address Book that wouldn't update for
   some Office 365 users. The update also improves stability when using
   Track Changes and scrolling through a large Word document and fixes a
   problem with artifacts appearing during slide show transitions in
   PowerPoint. (Free updates [5]via the Office for Mac Web site or through
   Microsoft AutoUpdate, 113 MB/210 MB)
