Issues that this update fixes

  • Assume that you open a presentation, zoom the view to a large zoom factor (for example 400%) and then scroll away from the center of the slide and select a shape. When you run the Selection.Unselect method, PowerPoint may scroll to the center of the slide.
  • After you install this update, the Shape.Type method returns msoContentApp for a content app.
  • When you open many slides that contain images in PowerPoint 2013, PowerPoint may display red X placeholders instead of the images. Additionally, you may experience data loss when you save the presentation.
  • Assume that you co-author a presentation with other users at the same time. When you both make some changes to the same image, and then you save the presentation, you may find a duplicate image, or the presentation may be corrupted and the save operation fails. Additionally, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
    Microsoft Office cannot open this file because some parts are missing or invalid.
     
  • Assume that you open a PowerPoint presentation that is synced by OneDrive for Business, or by another cloud storage client. When you save the presentation, one of the following problems may occur:
    • The presentation becomes read-only and the save operation fails.
    • Images are lost.
  • Insertion and playback of YouTube videos does not work in PowerPoint 2013 RT.
