 * Office 2016 proofing tools are offered for download via standalone

   however, using these Office 2016 proofing tools together with later versions
   of Office is not supported.This fix prevents a crash in Word, Outlook,
   OneNote and PowerPoint caused by this unsupported installation scenario.
   Users are recommended to uninstall the Office 2016 proofing tools if they are
   using a later version of Office and to install the appropriate Office
   language packs instead. Office language packs update automatically along with
   the version of Office they are paired with.

   rules. When a workbook is opened this feature merges those fragmented
   conditional formatting rules that are identical, within a contiguous range of

   or Duplicate, Gradients, etc. and rules in PivotTables.

   built-in sensitivity labels in Microsoft 365 Apps, admins can specify a

RESOLVED ISSUES


ACCESS

 * When a table with an Attachment or multi-valued field is selected, launching
   the Report, Label, or Query Wizard could cause Access to become unresponsive.
   This update fixes the issue so that these wizards work correctly again with
   all tables.

 * We fixed a recent regression where some users were unable to use
   DoCmd.TransferText with existing import/export specifications.

 * This update fixes an issue that could cause memory leaks when iterating over
   DAO recordsets in VBA code in Excel.


EXCEL

 * We fixed an issue when editing a newly created file a business bar label
   didn't upload correctly.

 * We fixed an issue in Excel for images contained in filtered or hidden cells.


OUTLOOK

 * This change enables the Every Meeting Online option for third party meeting
   applications.

 * We fixed an issue where Outlook can sometimes close unexpectedly when
   right-clicking on an app in the new app bar.

 * We fixed an issue that caused users to be unable to load linked images when
   replying to or forwarding a message.


PROJECT

 * We fixed an issue where projects that worked properly before can no longer be
   opened. In this circumstance, Project closed unexpectedly.

 * We fixed an issue where the message "This project contains links to one or
   more data sources that may be unsafe and have been disabled. Would you like
   to enable these data sources? Only do this if you trust the source of the
   file." may appear when opening a project. The message appears even when the
   project doesn't have any active paste-links. Additionally, no active embedded
   objects are found in Gantt type views.

 * We fixed an issue for when assignment timephased actual cost values were
   viewed and reported on. The sum of these values may not have been equal to
   the scalar value (the value you see in a sheet view). As the timescale
   granularity went from very detailed such as daily to less detailed such as
   yearly, the differences between the summed and scalar values could be
   significant.


WORD

 * We fixed an issue causing an intermittent stop responding in Word.

 * We fixed an issue where user was unable to copy rows of a table from older
   versions in Version History to the current version.

 * We fixed an issue where Outlook couldn't open a message that was sent using
   Outlook on the web and contained a comment that was copied from Word.

Version 2207 (Build 15427.20194)


FEATURE UPDATES


EXCEL

 * Optimized Excel recalculation on devices with constrained resources: On
   resource-constrained devices (two cores or less and eight gigabytes of RAM or
   less), Excel has now by default made recalculation more optimal by running
   calculation on a single thread. In most cases, users should see noticeably
   faster calculation on these devices. Note that in some cases that require
   compute-intensive calculation, users may want to consider overriding this
   default by setting Number of calculation threads to “2.” For more details,
   see the Formulas section of the Advanced Options page on the Microsoft
   Support site.


OUTLOOK

 * Use suggested replies in Outlook: When you receive an email message that can
   be answered by a short response, Outlook can suggest three responses you can
   use to reply with just a couple of clicks. Learn more See details in blog
   post

 * Turn off Suggested Replies: Outlook makes it easy to reply faster to emails
   by offering short suggested replies for messages that can be answered with
   just a few words. Some users may not want to see this option, so it's now
   possible to turn the feature off. To do so, select File > Options > Mail, go
   to the Replies and Forwards section, and clear the Show suggested replies
   check box.

 * Dictation toolbar redesigned for efficiency, cleaner look: The Office
   dictation toolbar has been redesigned, featuring new visuals, a more
   responsive user interface, and a smaller size to stay out of the way of what
   matters—your content! See details in blog post

 * New location for Outlook modules and apps: We updated how you switch between
   Mail, Calendar, People, and other apps. Now your Outlook experience is more
   consistent with other Microsoft 365 products like Teams and Office.com.


WORD

 * Typing with your voice just got easier: It's now easier to see what you're
   typing with the new low-profile Dictation toolbar located at the side of your
   screen. Plus, new animations help you make sure that every word is getting
   captured. See details in blog post


OFFICE SUITE

 * Add SketchUp files to Office creations: SketchUp is a popular 3D graphics
   program that makes it easy to create shareable conceptual designs, such as
   fully textured architectural models and other graphics used in industrial
   design, product design, and civil and mechanical engineering. Now, for the
   first time, SketchUp graphics (.skp files) can be integrated into your
   creations in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook! See details in blog post
