Zourous Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 It doesn't look like they offer any more different colour schemes to choose from. I'm sure MS could have easily done it, but as usual they are in a different world. I'm sticking to 2010, as I like to see what is on the screen
FN-GM Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Why haven't they released it with the usual patches?
Arthur Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I'm sticking to 2010, as I like to see what is on the screen The dark gray theme is alright. Why haven't they released it with the usual patches? SP1 shows up in Windows Microsoft Update. Edited February 26, 2014 by Arthur
zag Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Yeh still got the horrible light colour schemes. Its a real downgrade interface from 2010 sadly. I have to use the Dark Gray theme as well, just so I'm not blinded lol Won't be rolling this out to any normal users, its a real dud. Only good thing is PDF editing and I can just get people to send it to me to do. EDIT: Hmm "no products effected by this install found on your system" Edited February 26, 2014 by zag
FN-GM Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 SP1 shows up in Windows Microsoft Update. I always though they where the same thing!
Arthur Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 it's a real dud. You would say that though! Only good thing is PDF editing That's not the only good thing. I always thought they were the same thing! Windows Update is just for Windows updates. Office updates are downloaded from Microsoft Update.
free780 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I don't get why ms dont do a sp2 for win 7 when they do it for office.
Arthur Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 I don't get why ms don't do a sp2 for win 7 when they do it for office. There wouldn't be any point now that MS has moved to a yearly release cycle for Windows. i.e. Windows 7 SP2 = Windows 8 Windows 7 SP3 = Windows 8.1 Windows 7 SP4 = Windows 9
free780 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 So they dont have to support it as long. Though doing a build and capture takes a day now.
laserblazer Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Is there any identification that SP1 is installed? I've installed it manually on a server and I can't see any difference. If I go into "About Word" it doesn't say SP1 anywhere. Edit: Just seen SkyDrive has changed to OneDrive so something's happened. Edited February 27, 2014 by laserblazer
Arthur Posted February 27, 2014 Author Posted February 27, 2014 Is there any identification that SP1 is installed? There is... How to tell if you have SP1 installed In order to determine if SP1 is installed for Office 2013 or a related product, look for the program version in the list of installed programs in the Programs and Features control panel. If SP1 is installed, the version will be 15.0.4569.1506 or higher. Additionally, if you've installed the SP1 update for an MSI product, SP1 will be listed in Installed Updates in that same control panel. 2

nickbro Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 It isn't but it is in the Microsoft Update catalogue, just import the update from there
AngryTechnician Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 It came through automatically on mine. Are you synchronising the Service Packs update classification?
Arthur Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 The SP1 slipstreamed version of Office 2013 was released a few days ago to VLSC should anyone need it. Announcing availability of slipstreamed Office 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013 with SP1 1
snagrat Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Is it actually slipstreamed or are the update files just in the update folder? If that's the case I can create my own slipstream version without having to download it again....
Arthur Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Is it actually slipstreamed or are the update files just in the update folder? The 'Updates' folder is empty. SP1 is properly slipstreamed.
