Office 2016 update solves MS Excel crashes and more
The VSTO fix
KB4484392 addresses a crash problem that impacted users of Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). Microsoft describes the problem as follows:
WMF pasting
Update KB4484392 includes a printer dots per inch (DPI) improvement. It now lets you use DPI when you’re pasting WMF or Enhanced Metafile (EMF) to enhance text spacing. The added DPI support is optional, even though it’s enabled by default. To disable it, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice16.0Common. Then, assign 0 to the EnableMetafileReferenceDevice registry key.
Visio files with EMF graphics
If you cropped EMF graphics to fit on a Visio file, you’d get blurry printouts. This issue is no more with the update Office 2016 just received. However, the fix is optional in the sense that you can disable it.
Cropped EMF shapes
A bug would crop the sides, bottom, or top of copy-pasted EMF shapes.
PowerPoint 2016 issues
If you copied formatted text from MS Excel to PowerPoint, you’d lose the formatting. This bug is no more. Also fixed is an issue that caused PowerPoint 2016 to crash. The problem occurred if, when working with the Segmented Process SmartArt, the user pushed backspace multiple times to remove the node.
