   Microsoft Office 2016 15.25 and Office 2011 14.6.7

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Microsoft has issued version 15.25 of its [1]Office 2016 application
   suite, updating Excel, Outlook, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word to 64-bit
   applications for improved performance. Excel, PowerPoint, and Word now
   enable you to find and fix accessibility issues in documents by using
   the Accessibility Checker on the Review tab. In Outlook, a Calendar
   view bug is fixed to ensure the correct day and event are displayed,
   and a duplicate organizer has been removed from the schedule assistant
   view. Office 365 subscribers get a few new additions, including the
   capability to add an animated background image in PowerPoint, plus new
   simplified summary cards in travel confirmation and package delivery
   emails (requires a new or upgraded Outlook.com account).

   On the [2]security front, both Office 2016 and Office 2011, which
   Microsoft has updated to [3]version 14.6.7, once again resolve a memory
   corruption vulnerability (this time in Word), which could allow remote
   attackers to execute arbitrary code via a maliciously crafted file.
   ($149.99 for one-time purchase, free update through Microsoft
   AutoUpdate, [4]release notes, 10.10+)
