Office:Mac 2004 support has been extended

  • Article

In response to requests from our users, we have extended the Mainstream Support for Office 2004. It was originally scheduled to end on 13 October 2009. It will now end on 10 January 2012.

For users who rely on the VBA support that is found in Office 2004, this will allow a seamless transition from Office 2004 to the as-yet-unnamed version of Office:Mac. We haven't yet revealed a lot about the next version of Office:Mac, but we have shared that we are bringing back VBA in that release. The next version of Office:Mac will come out in time for holiday shopping in 2010.

Extending mainstream support means that we will continue to deliver all types of support for Office 2004, which includes security updates and fixing other non-security issues. Update Tuesdays won't just be for Office:Mac 2008!
