What's new and improved in Microsoft 365 Apps version 2212 (build 15928.20198)?

Feature updates

Microsoft Access

Enable code signing for your Microsoft Access databases and VBA programs:
With this version, current Microsoft Access database formats are supported via the Tools/Digital Signature command in the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Even if Trust Center settings dictate that only digitally signed code should be enabled, signing a database will still permit the VBA code contained in the database to be executed.

 

 

Microsoft Word

Assign tasks to your team members:
Without leaving Word, create and assign tasks. Simply enter a comment, @mention your team member, and check to Assign by pressing Ctrl + Enter. Your effort is over after your comment is turned into a task.

 

 

Resolved issues

Microsoft Excel

Microsoft resolved a problem that caused the application to abruptly close when you right-click on a chart and choose edit.

 

Microsoft Word

Microsoft has resolved a problem that could have caused users to encounter a dialogue box with the words "Contacting the Server" when trying to open a file. The company also fixed a problem where the ruler wouldn't work with the tab stop marker.
