What's new in this version: Microsoft Office 2016 16.63
Feature updates:
Excel:
- Improved support for auto-complete lists with screen readers: When you're entering a function name, Excel suggests functions that match what you've typed. We've added support so that screen readers like VoiceOver can read the function names as you navigate up or down the list with arrow keys.
- Speeding up Formula entry: Excel has sped up entering a formula in a cell noticeably by reducing memory usage, making more efficient use of allocated memory, and optimizing redrawing. These optimizations are more noticeable on devices with slower Memory or slower CPU-Memory throughput as well as for larger cell ranges.
Outlook:
- SMIME as a MIP Label: This new capability allows organizations that have already deployed a functional S/MIME infrastructure to provide a more consistent end-user experience by using a standard Microsoft Information Protection label for all their classification and protection needs.
