Issue that this hotfix package fixes

• You set a filter on a PivotTable. When you right-click a value inside the PivotTable and then click Additional actions, it takes several minutes for the Additional Actions menu and the Drillthrough item to be displayed if you are working in a wide area network (WAN) environment.
  
• You have a Microsoft Office Excel workbook that is connected to Reuters' virtual private network (VPN) to receive data. If you keep updating data in the workbook, Excel 2007 stops responding.
  
• Consider the following scenario. You insert a Microsoft Graph chart as an object in a PowerPoint 2007 presentation. Then you open the chart in Microsoft Graph. In this scenario, when you scroll the mouse wheel, the chart disappears. Additionally, the data changes are lost.
  
• You start a remote desktop connection to a computer that has 2007 Microsoft Office system installed. When you insert an Excel worksheet object into a 2007 Office program, the inserted object may look distorted, depending on the resolution ratio.
