Security Update Feb 2 2012 Kills save option in Word 04

Road kill

Most likely because you "Manually" downloaded the update and also probably downloaded it AFTER apple posted Version 1.1 on there download site so this is why you did not get hit.. The other people who let "Auto Update" download the update before apple posted version 1.1 were the ones who had the nightmares like I did.

Not so, different computer. My Macbook Pro got the original update and was the one that never showed the "good" one later with manual runs of Software Update. My Mac Pro somehow managed to never see the "bad" update. Happily, after getting clued in here about the "new" (but same-named) update, I was able to download the fixed update and it installed without fuss on the MBP.

I still think that a company with a financial surplus like Apples' has little excuse for such a messy process. They can easily afford to be better, especially since they want to show the Windows world just how much nicer it is over here. I certainly wouldn't switch back! It's just a bit sad to see Apple not trying as hard as they should.

I agree... Apple really showed poor example of saving many individuals like me a **** of a nightmare and many hours and days of fustration. And all they had to do was mention the newer update versus the old one and how it was a fix for many issues and problems for those who did not realize what happen to their computers. I mean seriously what does it take to merely write a couple of sentences in the description of the securities update page to mention it and save so many such grief and hassles? especially since it was Apples fault? To me that shows a lack of good plain common sense...
