   Microsoft Office 2016 15.18

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Microsoft has issued version 15.18 of its [1]Office 2016 suite with a
   couple of security patches as well as several minor improvements to
   individual apps. The update adds support for Full Screen view in
   Outlook (as well as improves searching for meeting rooms), adds the
   capability to save PDF files to flash drives from Word, and improves
   the selection pane in Excel and PowerPoint. According to this
   [2]security bulletin, the update also patches critical vulnerabilities
   within Excel, Word, and PowerPoint that could allow remote code
   execution if a user opens a specially crafted Office file. ($149.99 for
   one-time purchase, free update through Microsoft AutoUpdate, [3]release
   notes, 10.10+)
