  • Translates some terms in multiple languages to make sure that the meaning is accurate.
  • Update the requirement set to the current version for Web Add-ins in Outlook 2016.
  • Contains fixes for the following nonsecurity issues:

     
    • Attachments are rearranged, deleted, duplicated, or corrupted.
    • When you try to download attachments in an IRM protected email message offline in Outlook 2013, you receive the following error message:
      Sorry, something went wrong opening Information Rights Management protected content. The network location cannot be reached.
      This issue occurs after you install October 13, 2015, update for Office 2013 (KB3054941).
    • Administrator can use the Group Policy to block running any macro in the files that are download from the Internet in Office 2013 applications. This feature is same as in Office 2016 applications. See the following articles for more information:
    • When you try to print a document in the envelope paper size and the landscape orientation in Word 2013, the printing is blocked and the document is set as the letter page size in the spooler file.
    • The track changes bar may not appear in the correct position in Word 2013.
    • Assume that you preview a Word document in the preview pane in Windows Explorer. When you print a document that contains comments in Word 2013 during this time, the comments are not printed.
    • It takes a long time to run a macro to implement some revisions in Word 2013.
    • Assume that you formatted text as right-to-left in Word 2010 using the built-in RtlRun macro, and that this text contains text in Latin characters. When you open the document in Word 2013, the text is displayed with the letters in reverse order. For example, "txeT" instead of "Text."
    • Recipients on email sent programmatically in Outlook 2013 aren't added to the users nickname cache. Therefore, when you manually try to send another email message to the same recipients, you won't get any suggestion for those recipients' names. This update enables users to turn on the ability for recipients to be added to the nickname cache when email message is sent programmatically. See KB3115397 for more information.
    • When you create an email message by using an Outlook template (.oft) in online mode in Outlook 2013, German of French extended characters aren't displayed correctly and garbled characters are displayed.
    • When you paste a mailto link that has an embedded hyperlink in an email message in Outlook 2013, the hyperlink isn't clickable.
    • When you drag-and-drop a folder (C) between two other folders  (A, B) which have sub-folders, folder C will be nested into folder A as a subfolder instead of being inserted between A and B at their same level.
    • When you mark a task as completed in Outlook 2013, you receive the following error message:
      We need to know who to send this to. Make sure you enter at least one name.
      This issue occurs after you install December 8, 2015, update for Outlook 2013 (KB3114349).
    • If Outlook 2013 crashes after you send an email message while the email message is still in the Outbox folder, the email message is lost and can't be found.
    • After failing an initial logon, a subsequent retry may cause the following message to be incorrectly displayed:
      The Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook.
    • Assume that you add a second Exchange account to an existing profile in Outlook 2013 while it's running, and select a different sync slider setting. After you restart Outlook 2013, the sync slider setting of the new account is reset to the default.
    • Folders may disappear from the favorites list in Outlook 2013. This issue occurs if you implement the DisableCrossAccountCopy policy.
    • After the MAPI over HTTP transport protocol is disabled for some Exchange topologies, some online archive mailbox can't be opened any longer in Outlook 2013.
    • In an ADAL authentication enabled environment, you can't create a profile for Outlook 2013 through Control Panel.
    • After you enable the I am currently giving a presentation option in the Presentation Settings dialog box, Outlook 2013 will not be able to authenticate and will enter a Need Password state.
    • You can't open Mail in Control Panel if you have Outlook 2013 Click-to-Run installed.
    • Assume that you have a Project .mpp file that's stored in a SharePoint document library. When you click the file name, the project opens but you don't see a banner that offers you the ability to edit or check out the project. Instead, the project may keep in a read-only state and you can't save or check in changes.
    • When you try to reply or forward an email message that contains a linked image, Outlook 2016 freezes before the image is displayed.
    • Some unnecessary network traffic occurs during AutoDiscover in Outlook 2016.
    • When you mark a task as completed in Outlook 2016, you receive the following error message:
      We need to know who to send this to. Make sure you enter at least one name.
    • When you use a .prf file to set an IMAP profile in Outlook 2016, authentication dialog box isn't displayed. Therefore, emails can't be synchronized and you can't send email messages.
    • When you paste a mailto link that has an embedded hyperlink in an email message in Outlook 2016, the hyperlink isn't clickable.
    • When you create an email message by using an Outlook template (.oft) in online mode in Outlook 2016, German of French extended characters aren't displayed correctly and garbled characters are displayed.
    • When you send digitally signed email messages in a 64-bit version of Outlook 2016, you receive the following error message:

    • If Outlook 2016 crashes after you send an email message while the email message is still in the Outbox folder, the email message is lost and can't be found.
    • After you enable the I am currently giving a presentation option in the Presentation Settings dialog box, Outlook 2016 will not be able to authenticate and will enter a Need Password state.

    • When you convert a document that has basic line shapes that have different line widths to a PDF or XPS file in Word 2016, the basic line shapes are displayed as having the same width.
    • When you try to reply or forward an email message that contains a linked image, Outlook 2016 freezes before the image is displayed.
    • It takes a long time to run a macro to implement some revisions in Word 2016.
