If you’re an Office 2007 user you should just go download SP2, install it and enjoy. However, if you want to understand the goodness that comes with SP2, read on… OK, so what’s a “Service Pack?”
Once a product makes it out into “the wild,” which is one way of referring to the real world of users, we start hearing about work we could have done better. We actively look for reports, official and unofficial, of problems with the product. We’re looking for bugs and design issues, that are affecting users and need to be fixed. And we start working on fixing these problems in the current release even as we’re working on the next release. is work has to be done very carefully. Every change that we make has the potential of creating a new problem. Well discuss that process in an upcoming post, but for now we’ll just say that the changes we do make in a service pack are focused on problems that affect the success of our users,

Hands on with Office 2007 SP2
Yes, that’s all great news,
office Professional Plus serial key, but it still probably leaves you, the PowerPoint user, wondering… What About PowerPoint… Specifically?
As mentioned earlier, we’ll follow this post with a couple of additional drill-downs into some of the meatier changes, and a bit about the process we used to determine what changes would make it into SP2. For now, let’s review some of the more important PowerPoint improvements. File Save
Smarter picture compression in PowerPoint’s XML file format (.PPTX) now saves up to 90% faster than before when the presentation contains a lot of pictures.
Steadier Zoom While Editing
Some commands,
office Home And Student serial key, such as deleting the selected object when zoomed in would cause the slide view to snap to the center of the slide. Now the zoomed-in slide view does not move on its own. Overlaps
Some third-party printer drivers could provide bad information, causing PowerPoint to misalign text. We now detect this situation and reference an alternate set of settings for text layout in these cases, preserving proper text spacing. Preview
PowerPoint is now compatible with the Vista file preview commands. Exports
Images exported from PowerPoint when the optional registration key ExportBitmapResolution was used, could be saved corrupt or cropped. This is now fixed, and the setting produces a good bitmap.
Slide Thumbnail Highlighting and effects used to indicate when the mouse was over a slide thumbnail, and when the thumbnail was actually selected could occasionally become confused and might indicate a slide was selected when it was not. These are now clear now and update properly. to .PPT with Styled Title Text
Some of the new text formatting in PowerPoint 2007 has to be represented as a picture when saved to the older .PPT format. However, a few cases would cause both a picture and styled text to be saved into the file when it appeared in a title placeholder, giving the text a jumbled or blurred look. We now detect the situation properly and use the one correct method for these cases. changes
Many additional fixes: International spell check errors Printing with multiple masters Fixes for Ricoh Aficio 1022/1027/1032 PCL6 and PCL5e printer drivers A Lot to Recommend SP2 for You
You can review all the changes for PowerPoint and the rest of Office 2007 in the Microsoft Help and Support Knowledge Base article 953195. We hope you’ll agree that this is well worth your time and effort to install. Set up automatic updates if you haven’t already, to keep up to date now and in the future.
Enjoy
Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 2. We made it for you.
