A small collection of non-security patches for Microsoft Office in September 2018.
As usual, all these updates should come to you automatically. Non-subscriber / perpetual licence users can download individual patches if necessary but auto-update should handle it for you.
Outlook 2016
The update for Microsoft Outlook 2016 introduces the following improvements:
- Fixes a crash in Outlook 2016 when switching from Mail to Calendar while running a screen reader.
- Click here to view more on Microsoft Exchange link was not displayed for folders that don’t sync all content on systems with multiple Exchange accounts that share credentials.
- Outlook 2016 may only try the primary Exchange Web Service endpoint even if multiple are configured.
- BCC recipients were not displayed in Outlook EML files with BCC recipients.
- Translation improvements for the Spanish and Czech versions of Outlook 2016.
Patching the patch
KB4022233 is a fix for an earlier bug fix. “If you filter data for a chart with a data time axis by unselecting a data label in the Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels area in the Select Data Source dialog box, some other data labels in the chart other than the unselected one may disappear. ”
It’s an example of how complicated software patching can be. This bug occurred after installing KB4018387, which itself was a bug fix caused by a security bug patch. Everyone involved hopes this is the end of the chain <sigh>.
Office 2016
KB3114853 is a tiny feature improvement. ” Assume that you have more than one shape on a chart in a chart sheet. With this update, you can format as many shapes at the same time as you select by using the Format Ribbon. ”
KB4032237 – “Assume that you receive an Information Rights Management (IRM) protected email message and it contains an attachment. When you save the attachment to a disk, it can’t be saved.”
