Hi,

Does anybody know when Microsoft plans on releasing a newer version of Microsoft Office for Mac?

One of my co-workers currently own the 2008 version and he's really unhappy with it. He has an excel file that's around 4MB in filesize, containing some 11,000 rows and a bunch of columns too and it's really slow to work with (he has a 1 year old MacBook Pro) and some times excel also "runs out of memory" it says and the application just freezes.

It should be updated properly etc, but I wonder if maybe a newer version more suited for Snow Leopard, might be released soon?
 
Okay, thanks.

I guess there's just something wrong with excel or the sheet, since it gives that "out of memory"-error and crashes.
 
Yes, we'll be getting Office 2010 (it's on a different schedule from the PC version). I can sympathize with the slowness - 2004 and 2001 ("Office X") are slow too. :( But there are already plenty of threads complaining about that. And don't even get me started on how much I hate Excel...

FWIW, Office 2001 and Office v.X were two different versions of the suite and were targeted at two different operating systems. Office 2001 was the last MacOS 9 version. Office v.X was the first MacOS X version of the Microsoft suite.
