Work Detail |
Microsoft has issued version 15.25 of its Office 2016 application suite, updating Excel, Outlook, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word to 64-bit applications for improved performance. Excel, PowerPoint, and Word now enable you to find and fix accessibility issues in documents by using the Accessibility Checker on the Review tab. In Outlook, a Calendar view bug is fixed to ensure the correct day and event are displayed, and a duplicate organizer has been removed from the schedule assistant view. Office 365 subscribers get a few new additions, including the capability to add an animated background image in PowerPoint, plus new simplified summary cards in travel confirmation and package delivery emails (requires a new or upgraded Outlook.com account). On the security front, both Office 2016 and Office 2011, which Microsoft has updated to version 14.6.7, once again resolve a memory corruption vulnerability (this time in Word), which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a maliciously crafted file.
