Word v.X version number...

[Carnac]

I am using Panther 10.3.1 and Office v.X. I have installed the 10.1.5
updater.

All of my Office applications show version 10.1.5 in their get info
window, execpt for Word - it still shows version 10.1.4.

Is this correct? Are other people seeing the same thing?

On a somewhat seperate notd, I sure wish that MS would put version
number in the "About Word" dialog and not just by a get info from the
application itself.

It is correct. 10.1.4 is what you see after upgrading to 10.1.5 And
yes, with the blithering flakiness of the upgrade process, you would
think that they would go to a bit more trouble to reassure you that the
upgrade succeeded.

Same thing. Except now my word crashes at startup, but not excel or powerpoint

I see the same. I assume the 10.1.5 updater does not update Word.

Hear, hear!

Yeah, we have been asking for the version number in Word/About for some
time. Guess what? A little bird tells me that it might be in the next
version

Two little birds in 48 hours! My, your taking up ornithology with such
gusto is certainly having spin-offs around here, John!
