Office v.X bugs

I've been using Office v.X for a week now, and overall I'm very happy with it. I have encountered several issues with it:

- Links from PowerPoint documents to local HTML files do not work properly. When you click through, IE is launched, but the document is not displayed. The only work around I've found is to put the HTML documents in the sites folder and access them via Web sharing using http://127.0.0.1/~username
- Spell check is very slow in all Office apps - it takes as long as 30 seconds for the red underlining to appear or disappear. This was almost instantaneous in the previous release.
- The buttons on the toolbar in Entourage sometimes mysteriously appear highlighted for no apparent reason
- File names are restricted to the old 32 characters

Considering the work that must have been involved in porting to OS X, Microsoft have done an excellent job, but I am suprise they released it with this many bugs. Has anyone else encountered problems with Office v.X?

yes

I have noticed some of the same problems. The spell check and the vanishing buttons. It still need a little work but over all I would agree.. its not bad. I have not done any real work in Powerpoint so I cant report anything.
