  • We fixed an issue where the search results would get lost in the pivot table field list taskpane.
  • We fixed an issue where, in a multi-monitor setup, some data in dialog boxes was being hidden from the user when selecting cells.
  • We fixed an issue where, when you had a Microsoft Excel 97-2003 Worksheet object embedded inside another application (such as a Word document), using the Convert feature to convert it to a Microsoft Excel Worksheet (Office OpenXML) object didn’t complete the conversion until you opened the embedded object and made a change to it. The object is completely converted when using the Convert feature now.
