PowerPoint

• The Title field in File > Info will no longer be filled in automatically when saving a file.
• Fixed an issue in PowerPoint where the digital signature of the VBA project wasn't being persisted after applying or changing sensitivity labels.
• Fixed an issue in PowerPoint where a document saved to a OneDrive sync location intermittently stopped working for users subject to a mandatory sensitivity labeling policy.

Visio

• We fixed an issue where Visio would stop responding if it was opened in a remote desktop session, and then the remote desktop session was closed and reopened.

Word

• Resolved an issue that prevented a file from opening for some documents.
• Resolved an issue where Document Mode would switch from "editing" to "viewing" if user enabled "Track Changes" and set "For Everyone".
• Resolved an issue where an email wouldn't fully render in the preview pane.
• Resolved an issue where watermarks in a document weren't being printed.
• Resolved an issue where "Restricted Editing" may not prevent editing after uploading a document to SharePoint and reopening.
• Resolved an issue when modifying styles that the "Style based on" entry would be blank.

Office Suite

• This fix preserves compatibility with certain rare proofing tool installation scenarios.
• Office 2016 proofing tools are offered for download via standalone per-language installers. Even if they may appear to function correctly, however, using these Office 2016 proofing tools together with later versions of Office is not supported.This fix prevents a crash in Word, Outlook, OneNote and PowerPoint caused by this unsupported installation scenario. Users are strongly recommended to uninstall the Office 2016 proofing tools if they are using a later version of Office and to install the appropriate Office language packs instead. Office language packs update automatically along with the version of Office they are paired with.
