From one of the web article on this:
Microsoft whips out Office 2008 patch for Mac lovers
Microsoft has hastily applied a fix to the Mac version of Office 2008,
after the software giant introduced a glitch in the Open XML format
when it released Service Pack 2 for the suite.
The company noted yesterday that the 12.2.1 patch would get rid of
error messages that some Mac users were faced with when trying to open
various PC-created documents in Office 2008.
Customers had reported the following error message: “Microsoft Excel
cannot open the file. You may have to download the latest updates for
Office for Mac. Do you want to visit the Microsoft Web site for more
information?”
It had popped up when users tried to open some (though not all) OXML
file formats in the Office suite afterapplying Service Pack 2 to the
software.
