What's new and improved in Microsoft Office Version 2111 (Build 14609.20000)

Word

Improved Coauthoring Error Recovery Experience

We’ve developed an improved recovery experience to quickly restore users back to a connected state after experiencing coauthoring errors.

Notable fix

  • We fixed an issue where the app would stop responding when “at mentioning” (@mention) someone in a comment.

Excel

Notable fixes

  • We fixed an issue where the word “Column” disappeared from the Cell Format ribbon dropdown menu on mouse over.
  • We fixed an issue where localized characters were rendering too small in a worksheet tab (issue only present for users with the Fluent UI Coming Soon toggle enabled).
  • We fixed an issue related to a workbook with many custom views with Freeze Panes that was causing Excel to stop responding immediately after launch.
  • We fixed an issue where the user was seeing the Music data type button but the artists were not converting.
  • We fixed an issue where hitting the hot key “e” for Filter would conflict with Search on the context menu.

Outlook

Notable fixes

  • We fixed a sync failure that was occurring when generating a preview.
  • We fixed an issue where the app would stop responding when conducting a search.
  • We fixed an issue where default sensitivity labels were not getting applied on encrypted emails.
  • We fixed an issue where an invite would go out to attendees but would not be saved to the Organizer’s calendar.
  • We fixed an issue where an “Encrypt-Only” sensitivity label would not process for all UI languages except EN.
  • We fixed an issue that caused the Appointment quick view to be cropped when previewing meeting invitations.

Project

Notable fix

  • We fixed an issue where, when programmatically adding new tasks to a project via CSOM, the tasks might not be inserted at the correct location if the new task’s summary task is collapsed.

Office Suite

Notable fixes

  • We fixed an issue affecting the MSI Office 2007 catalyst detection logic, which was causing Visio and Project to be unintentionally removed.
  • We fixed an issue where corrupted SVGs in Office documents fail to render, showing a red X, by substituting an uncorrupted bitmap version of the image.
  • We fixed an issue where a “wdlor” + GUID query parameter could get added to the end of a link.
