Office 2007 Service Pack 2 due in spring '09

It includes support for ODF, PDF and others

(Computerworld) Microsoft Corp. said via a company blog today that Service Pack 2 (SP2) 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 (ODF) used by Office's chief competitor, OpenOffice.org; the Portable Document Format (PDF) created by Adobe Systems Inc.; and its own XML Paper Specification (XPS), which 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

This is in contrast to SP1 of Office 2007, released last December, which mostly provided bug fixes rather than new features.
