Q: after Security update 2012-001 cannot save any Office 2004 file
I installed the Office 2012-001 Security Update on a MacBook Pro running Macos 10.6.8
After that, I opened an attached Excel file from an email (received with Entourage), I performed some formula changes and wanted to save the document with a different name. I saw some changes to the screen as if the File saving Window would appear, but instead the whole program crashed. I could not perform any further changes to the file, basically all of the menus were blank, including the Quit menu. I had to Force quit the program. I thought it was only Excel, but Word also behaves the same. I am able to open any Office file with the corresponding Pages-Numbers program and save the file in the appropriate Office format, but I cannot perform any changes using the Office programs. I am writing this question here on the Apple Support Communities because I am almost sure that this behavior happened after I installed the Security Update 2012-001. After reading some of the latest support questions, I performed a Permissions repair on the StartUp disk but nothing changed.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

I believe that this update from Apple should work. If you experience any issues, make sure to post them here and let me know, or let me know via educate-it.org. We released a new build of our installer package that contains more frameworks tied to the previous Rosetta break. Apple's should be based on our initial release so I am expecting some e-mails over the weekend that it didn't resolve all of the issues, but only time will tell. I would say run it and see if it works. I tested it on my MacBook Air and FileMaker Pro 7 opened right up and didn't crash on me so I would guess that it's working correctly.
