  • Access to any book available only for US citizens (instructions)
  • Searching for hidden pages (not indexed by Google Books)

MS Office 2007 SP2 begins to Support Open Document and PDF

At last, Microsoft has released the much-anticipated SP2 update for Office 2007, and it’s currently available from the Microsoft Download Center.

The 290Mb download includes more than 600 fixes and improvements. Two key additions include support for the Open Document formats in Word (.odt), Excel (.ods), and Powerpoint (.odp) and the option to save as PDF in all applications. In my limited testing, PDF output was very true to the Word and Excel originals.

Excel’s charting mechanism has been been retooled, as has chart integration with other Office applications. Digital Inspiration notes several improvements to Outlook, including better IMAP and RSS support and faster startup, searching, and synchronization. Microsoft also touts general performance gains and better quality print output across the entire suite.

For a detailed look at what Office 2007 SP2 is all about, check the Office Sustained Engineering blog post. There’s also a good roundup on Microsoft Support.
