November 6, 2018, update for Office 2016 (KB4461505)

This article describes update 4461505 for Microsoft Office 2016 that was released on November 6, 2018.

Be aware that the update on the Microsoft Download Center applies to the Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition of Office 2016. It doesn't apply to the Office 2016 Click-to-Run editions, such as Microsoft Office 365 Home. (How to determine?)

This update fixes the following issues:

• The custom dictionary cannot be set through Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The macro command runs, but the default dictionary is not changed.
• When you save a file that contains an embedded .emf file as a PDF file, a few lines in the .emf file may be displayed incorrectly in the PDF file.
• Assume that a macro enabled file is added to a SharePoint document library that contains a lookup field. When you open the macro enabled file and go to File->Infor->Show Details, the Show Details button doesn't work and the lookup field can't be updated.
