Microsoft said via a company blog Wednesday that Service Pack 2 of Office 2007 will ship between February and April of next year.
The software maker had already said that SP2 will introduce support for the Open Document Format used by Office's chief competitor, OpenOffice.org, the Portable Document Format created by Adobe Systems, and its own XML Paper Specification that is meant to compete with PDF.
The Office Sustained Engineering blog confirmed those features, and some others: A more reliable calendar and faster performance for Outlook 2007; Improvements to Excel 2007's charting; Enabling Object Model support for charts in PowerPoint 2007 and Word 2007; An uninstallation tool for Office 2007 service packs; Improvements to server editions of Office 2007.
