Hello, this is Christopher Budd. Very quickly, I wanted to let you know that we’ve just re-released MS07-002 for Excel 2000 only.

However, after release we discovered that the security update did not correctly process the phonetic information that is embedded in files that are created by using Excel in the Korean, Chinese, or Japanese executable mode.
