Issues Fixed by Service Pack 1 (SP1) in the Office 2010 Desktop Applications

Microsoft has released SP1 for office 2010 with a whole bunch of fixes. Here is the detailed list of fixes for your easy reference from MS article: Description of Office 2010 SP1 

 

Notes    

1. Service Pack 1 includes a rollup of all Cumulative Updates released through April 2011 and all Public Updates released through June 2011. They are not included in the list below, which is specific to changes that are shipping for the first time in SP1.

2. Because we relied on experts of each product to write the text below, the phrasing throughout the table is not 100% consistent. Some of the text simply describes a problem that was fixed by SP1, while other text describes the problem and the new behavior after installing SP1. When reading the list below, please keep in mind that, despite the individual phrasing of each description, all of the issues listed should be fixed in SP1.

3. In addition to the fixes listed below, SP1 contains additional changes which are less visible, but improve various aspects of the product. This includes reducing the number of crashes, improving security, and fixing other issues that were deemed to be too specific to include in this list.
