  • This update adds support for Javanese Script.

    Display text cannot span more than one line!

  • After you enable and disable Split window for a document that has an ActiveX control in Word 2016, Word 2016 crashes.
  • Word 2016 may crash if a list item begins with a diacritic, and the list uses a space (instead of a tab) for indentation.
  • After you compare or combine two versions of a document that are coauthored by different coauthors in Word 2016, all OLE objects are marked as changed.
  • Autocorrect changes incorrect characters in the presence of diacritic in Word 2016.
  • Sometimes Word 2016 shows numbers incorrectly when the Numeral setting is set to Context in the Word Option dialog box.
  • When you scroll through a document that has an ActiveX control in Word 2016, the ActiveX control is switched to design mode.
  • The Send as PDF function is unavailable in Reading mode in SharePoint Server 2016.
  • Some symbol characters are changed to "1" unexpectedly in the following scenarios:
