Microsoft has released a new Office Insider Preview Build 14623.20002 for Windows users that registered in the Beta Channel of the Office Insider program. The new build adds notable fixes to Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint, but includes no new features. You can read the full official changelog below to know about what’s been fixed.
Changelog
Excel
Notable fixes
- We fixed an issue where importing a query, then selecting a range in the new worksheet and loading from that range, would cause the query editor to open with the wrong table name.
- We fixed an issue causing rendering errors when teleporting great distances in the grid (such as when using Ctrl + arrow key).
Outlook
Notable fixes
- We fixed an issue where the wrong end date for an all-day event was appearing in Calendar view.
- We fixed an issue where the Windows Explorer would close unexpectedly when doing a “File – Send-To – Mail Recipient.”
PowerPoint
Notable fixes
- We fixed an issue where a printout would be cut off (data loss) when the user changed a document in portrait orientation from a bigger paper size to a smaller paper size.
- We fixed an issue so the app will no longer prompt for a password to modify it if the user explicitly opens the file in read-only mode.
