Major Changes Hidden in Microsoft PowerPoint Update
PC Magazine
In this case the Mac version is not yet ready but Microsoft decided to go ahead with the Windows version since the actual attacks going on in the wild are all Windows-specific. The Mac version will follow when ready presumably. The second point is that Microsoft has removed support for “the very old PowerPoint 4 converter (PP4X322. DLL)” with the release of this update. This program and the formats it supports are more trouble than they’re worth it would seem and it’s years since they have been the default format on any supported version of PowerPoint. They provide a registry hack you can apply to re-enable PowerPoint 4 support in current products but they advise that you unapply the hack afterwards. Finally file converter support in ffice 2000 and ffice XP has been upgraded by back-porting the latest code from ffice 2003 into it.
