Hard disk: 24 MB of available hard disk space.

The following improvements fix numerous security and stability issues in Office 2004.
Previously, setting the AutoRecover folder location (Word menu, Preferences command, File Locations) to a location inside a FileVault-protected home folder did not work. This has been fixed. FileVault is an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 128-bit keys that secures your home folder by automatically encrypting the contents. For more information about FileVault, see Apple Help.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now support an additional level of security that affects macros that open other Office documents containing macros. You can use the Application.AutomationSecurity property to set the level of security desired. For more information about the Application.AutomationSecurity property, see Knowledge Base (KB) article KB 886633 at http://support.microsoft.com.
In some cases, a font change did not take effect when you used the Font menu. This happened when the WYSIWYG font and style menus check box was cleared in Preferences (on the Word menu, click Preferences, and then click the General tab) and then the Font menu was used to change the font of text in a document. This problem has been fixed. The text now changes to the font that you select in the Font menu.
Previously, the Compatibility Report in Word erroneously reported the following:
Swiss German proofing tools are not installed.
This problem has been fixed. Text marked as Swiss German text is proofed using the German proofing tools, which are installed by default. The Compatibility Report no longer reports this issue.
Previously, when you double-clicked a word to select it, and then dragged the selection to include more words, Word sometimes selected the preceding word in addition to the words you selected. This problem has been fixed. Word no longer selects the word preceding the word you select.
When you play a movie in a slide show, performance is improved, resulting in movies playing more smoothly in most cases.
Compatibility with fonts is improved, resulting in better overall appearance of fonts. Font compatibility includes Open Type fonts, symbol fonts, and fonts used in presentations created in other versions of PowerPoint.
When you drag an object on your slide and the ruler is turned on, the object now remains in the position where you put it.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint now support an additional level of security that affects macros that open other Office documents containing macros. You can use the Application.AutomationSecurity property to set the level of security desired. For more information about the Application.AutomationSecurity property, see Knowledge Base (KB) article KB 886633 at http://support.microsoft.com.

When a connection error occurs and an error log entry is generated, the Entourage icon will no longer bounce in the Dock.
In some cases, messages sent from Entourage did not appear in the Info Bar as "Sent" when you viewed them in Microsoft Outlook. This has been fixed. Now, when a message is sent from Entourage, the Info Bar shows the message as "Sent" when you view it in Microsoft Outlook.
Previously, connecting to the Internet by using an internal modem could cause problems. Entourage attempted to connect to another internal modem or Infrared Data Association (IrDA) wireless device after it made a Point-to-Point (PPP) connection to an external modem. This problem has been fixed. Entourage now connects to the Internet by using the current connection.
Sending e-mail messages by using SSL connections sometimes caused problems. In some cases, the message was not sent. This problem has been fixed.
Attaching pictures from iPhoto to e-mail messages sometimes caused problems. In some cases, a file with the file name Attachment (PlayerPro document).669 was attached instead. This problem has been fixed.
Accessing your Microsoft User Data folder from a network volume sometimes caused problems. In some cases, when you attempted to access the folder, the following messages appeared:
This problem has been fixed.
In some cases, keyboard shortcuts in Adobe CS products were not available when Entourage was open on your computer. This problem has been fixed. Keyboard shortcuts are now available in Adobe CS products when Entourage is open on your computer.
Entourage could not connect to Domino IMAP servers that use double-backslash "\\" as a directory separator. This problem has been fixed.
Entourage 2004 now allows Exchange delegate access over SSL.
Connection to a POP account when using Entourage sometimes caused problems. In some cases, Entourage did not detect that the server had closed the connection. This problem has been fixed.
Remote Desktop Connection Client 1.0.3 for Mac provides improved stability when you minimize the client window and when you copy and paste data from the client window to Macintosh applications. Stability is also improved for users of Mac OS X 10.3 and later, and when Remote Desktop Connection Client is used on Macintosh computers with PowerPC G5 processors.
