   Adam C. Engst

   Microsoft has released [1]Office 2011 14.2.5 and [2]Office 2008 12.3.5,
   largely to resolve [3]four privately reported vulnerabilities in
   Microsoft Excel that could allow remote code execution if the user were
   to open a specially crafted Excel spreadsheet. Also receiving attention
   is [4]Outlook 2011, which gets fixes that address problems with
   automatic configuration with Outlook.com accounts, importing data from
   PST files, recognizing and expanding distribution lists, moving
   messages in Gmail accounts, and the loss of spaces with content pasted
   in from Word or replying to messages generated in Windows Outlook. If
   you have troubles updating, be sure to check the [5]Known Issues page,
   which addresses common problems. (Free updates [6]via the Office for
   Mac Web site or through Microsoft AutoUpdate, 102 MB/218 MB)
