Can anyone find any details on this - such as some sore of changelog?

Ditto...... I just had the Microsoft AutoUpdate.app do its thing and all
applications, including Entourage were changes. Sure would like to know
what was sort of fixed?

Improvements

The improvements described below fix numerous security and stability issues
in Office 2004.
Improvements for Office 2004

* Stability is improved when you work with graphics that contain
embedded EPS data
This update fixes an issue that causes Office 2004 programs to quit
unexpectedly when you work with graphics that contain embedded Encapsulated
PostScript (EPS) data.
* Documents that use German Proofing Tools open correctly
This update fixes an issue for users of Mac OS X 10.4.6 that causes
Office 2004 programs to quit unexpectedly when users open documents that
contain German content. Users designate content as German by using the
Language command on the Tools menu.

Improvements for PowerPoint 2004

* Security is improved
This update fixes vulnerabilities in PowerPoint 2004 for Mac that an
attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer's memory with
malicious code.

Improvements for Entourage 2004

* Synchronization with Exchange mailboxes is improved
This update fixes a synchronization issue that occurs when Entourage
2004 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 SP2 are both used to access calendar
items in the same Exchange mailbox. The issue causes some calendar items to
not appear in the Entourage calendar.
* Stability is improved when you use SSL to connect to LDAP servers
This update fixes an issue that causes Entourage to quit unexpectedly
when it connects to some Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
servers via a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection.

Previously released improvements included in this update

This update includes all of the improvements released in all previous Office
2004 updates. For information about improvements in a previous update, see
the Read Me file for the update.

Thanks very much, Scott. Most helpful.

Entourage 11.2.4 works fine on my Dual G5 2.0 running OS 10.4.6.

Respectfully, Norm

It does NOT fix the daylight savings time problem (Event and computer time
zones do not match ... ) which is still incorrect. Events you create are
correct; events you import from other sources, especially iCal are displayed
incorrectly.
