Office problem since Security update - swf - 02-02-2012
Macbook 2.4 running 10.6.8
Ran the latest security update last night. Have old Office for Mac v.X on this machine running under Rosetta. Since the update, whenever I change or create anything in Word or Powerpoint and try to save the document, all the icons in the application toolbar gray out and becomes unresponsive. I have to Force Quit to close. This is occurring on another Macbook that has v.X after the update.
Is there any way to eliminate that update? I have a bootable backup that was done prior to the update, but is a couple of days old, thus does not have the most current files. (I know I should backup more frequently, but in this case it's a good thing I didn't). I've tried booting from the backup and Office works fine. So I have to conclude that it is the update that killed Office v.X.
Since I am not a huge Word or Powerpoint user, this version has served me well for a long time. Would prefer not to have to update to 2011, but I will if I have to.

Did you try repairing permissions after the update?

Repaired permissions. Still no joy!

Yes, but enquiring minds NEED to know how to fix the problem... or are we to assume that is still a work in progress?

Wow! That is pretty bad. I usually wait for a while before updating, Make Macintouch the last place you go before updating!
