INTRODUCTION

Microsoft has released an update for the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Microsoft Office 2010 File Validation. This update provides the latest fixes for the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Office 2010 File Validation. Additionally, this update contains stability and performance improvements.

Note This file can also be installed on Microsoft Office 2003 and on the 2007 Microsoft Office system.

This update also fixes the following known issue:

Workbooks that are stored in a network location open slower in Excel 2003 after you install MS11-021 and the Office File Validation (OFV) Add-in for Office. The decrease in performance depends on the size of the workbook and the bandwidth of the network. Excel 2003 may stop responding in some scenarios.

Note You can install MS11-021 and the OFV Add-in for Office through the following Knowledge Base article:
