Word 2004 Crashing Bug Squashed

Despite being hard at work on Office 2008 for a Macworld Expo release, Microsoft has just made available the Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.9 Update, which solves a crashing bug in Word 2004 when you try to print a document. The update is a 2.5 MB download and requires that you have already installed the 11.3.8 update (a 9.1 MB download), which eliminated a buffer overflow in Word 2004. If you haven’t been keeping up with all the Office updates, I recommend using the Microsoft AutoUpdate
utility to get each one in turn, since each requires the previous one.
