For some reasons Microsoft AutoUpdate keeps prompting me to install this update, even after I finished installing the update.

Office 2011 14.3.6 Update

Microsoft releases Office 2011 14.3.6 Update on Tuesday July 16, 2013.

This update provides the latest improvements in Office for Mac 2011. These include the following:

  • Message sending in Microsoft Outlook for Mac
    This update fixes an issue in which Outlook repeatedly tried to send messages that exceeded certain server-side size limits from the Outbox. Now, messages that exceed these size limits are put in the local Drafts folder after three unsuccessful attempts to send the messages.
  • Syncing a folder from which lots of messages were deleted in Outlook for Mac
    This update fixes an issue in which syncing a folder from which many messages were deleted on another client frequently caused Microsoft Outlook for Mac to freeze.
  • Saving files to a Server Message Block (SMB) share in Microsoft Word for Mac
    This update fixes an issue that causes Word to be unable to save files to an SMB share.

Upcoming Rambles: Microsoft Office 2011

After a few weeks of waiting, the official release of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac arrived on my desk. I decided to refrain from installing Office 2011 until I had the ADATA S559 SandForce SSD in the MacBook Pro. That was Wednesday and Thursday. As of this writing, I have barely used Office 11 on this MacBook Pro. So, I’m not gonna even try writing any sort of reviews. Instead I’ll be writing some facts about it.

There are numerous versions of Microsoft Office 2011:

  • Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Business 2011
  • Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011
  • Microsoft Office for Mac Academic 2011

Note: The screenshot was taken after Office 2011 was already installed on the system. The second time the installer runs, it says “Upgrade” on the install.

Core applications included in Microsoft Office 2011:

  • Microsoft Word
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft PowerPoint
  • Microsoft Outlook (not available in Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Student 2011)

Other applications:

  • Microsoft Messenger
  • Microsoft Communicator
  • Remote Desktop Connection for Mac

Thanks to the SSD on the MacBook Pro, any Office 2011 applications launched almost instantly. So at this time I can’t really comment much about it. In a week time I’ll find out more.
