Excel
See the big picture with Navigation pane
Gain a clearer view of complex workbooks with the new Navigation pane feature. The Navigation pane is a great way to better understand a workbook’s layout, view the different elements that make up the workbook, and navigate directly to those elements. To try out the feature, select the View tab and then choose the Navigation button to open the pane (or select the sequence Alt > C > K to open the pane from your keyboard).
Improved scrolling in sheets with large cells
When you are using a sheet with very large cells, sometimes the “snap to grid” functionality in Excel can make it harder to view the data you want. We’ve fixed this issue by making the scrolling much smoother—no more snapping to rows and columns. You’re now able to stop scrolling partially through a row or column, and Excel will not force the sheet to snap to the edges.
Notable fixes:
- We fixed an issue occurring when saving as XML data (.xml) from workbooks containing an XML map.
- We fixed an issue where scrolling with touch or a touchpad would revert back to the start of the spreadsheet.
Outlook
Answers: Improvements to Outlook Search
Outlook Search Answers is the latest development in search enhancement for Outlook, helping you find exactly what you’re looking for. Now it’s even easier to find the people, arquivos, and calendar events you want, with Outlook surfacing the best answer as a card at the top of the results. To try it out, just search on one of those content types in the Procurar box at the top of the Outlook window (making sure that “Current Mailbox” is selected as the search scope).
Notable fixes:
- We fixed an issue that caused emails re-sent by a different user to appear to have been sent by the original sender, in organizations where SendFromAliasEnabled is set to True.
- We fixed an issue that caused delegates trying to view forwarded meeting requests in their sent items folder to see the manager’s copy of the meeting rather than the delegate’s sent item.
- We made a change to allow administrators to disable Always On Logging on a per-process basis via group policy.
- We fixed an issue that caused users to be able to download protected voice mail files.
- We fixed an issue where some notifications in Outlook desktop were not actionable when Office was installed on Win Server 2016.

- We fixed an issue where, in certain situations, a user was unable to use Paste Special to paste chart content from Excel to PowerPoint.
Project
Notable fixes:

Outlook
Turn off Suggested Replies
Outlook makes it easy to reply faster to emails by offering short suggested replies for messages that can be answered with just a few words. Some users may not want to see this option, so it’s now possible to turn the feature off. To do so, selecione Arquivo > Options > Mail, go to the Replies and Forwards section, and clear the Show suggested replies check box.

Notable Fixes:
- We fixed an issue where added DropShadow properties on the search box caused the TitleBar to be too tall, creating layout bugs.
Word
Notable Fixes:

- We fixed an issue where a folder name not ending with “/” was being incorrectly interpreted by the URL parser.
Excel
Notable Fixes:
- We fixed an issue where localized function names will now be recognized when opening CSV files.
