11.05.2003 - Outlook 2003 Critical Update: November 11, 2003 (828041)

Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Office 2003. This update fixes a problem that occurs when you try to open or to save a Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 file, a Microsoft Office Word 2003 file, or a Microsoft Office Excel 2003 file that includes an OfficeArt shape that was previously modified and saved in an earlier version of Microsoft Office. When a PowerPoint 2003 file, a Word 2003 file, or a Excel 2003 file is opened in an earlier version of Office, empty "complex" properties may be introduced into the file and a bit may be changed in the file record that describes these properties. Earlier version of Office will ignore this bit value but when this bit value is detected in Office 2003, you may experience the following symptoms: The document may not open completely. The document may be corrupted. The document may open but with missing content. You might receive an error message. - Download Office 2003 update (Direct Link) - Download Office 2003 update - Administrative Version (Direct Link) - View Microsoft Knowledgebase Article - Q828041 - Visit Microsoft Office Home
