Language Interface Packs for Office 2007 are available for Basque, Galician, Malay, Bengali

We talked about the Tatar Language Interface Pack (LIP) for Office 2007 a few weeks ago. Since then, other LIPs for Office 2007 have been released. LIPs enable users to work in a localized environment and traditionally include a spell-checker for that language. So if you are looking for spellers for Basque (700,000 speakers), Galician (3 million speakers), Malay (7 million speakers), or Bengali (released last week, 230 million speakers), or if you want to see your UI in one of these languages, check out the Microsoft Local Language Program web site or click on the name of the language in this sentence to freely download the corresponding LIP with its speller.

Word users threatened by new attack

Microsoft has issued a warning that cyber criminals could advantage of an unpatched flaw in Windows to install malicious software on a victim's PC. The reported attack, now under investigation by Microsoft, involves a malicious Word document, but there may be other ways of exploiting the flaw, the company said.
"Do not open or save Word files that you receive from untrusted sources or that you receive unexpectedly from trusted sources," according to a Microsoft security advisory. The flaw lies in the Jet Database Engine that is used by a number of products including Microsoft Access. Microsoft is investigating whether other programs may also be exploited in this type of attack. Although this kind of unpatched, "zero day" attack is always cause for concern, Microsoft downplayed the risk.
