   Microsoft Office 2016 15.34 and Office 2011 14.7.4

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Microsoft has issued version 15.34 of its [1]Office 2016 application
   suite, adding the Dubai font family to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and
   Outlook. Supporting both Western European languages as well as the
   major languages that use the Arabic script, the font family consists of
   four styles ' Dubai Light, Dubai (regular), Dubai Medium and Dubai Bold
   (learn more from this [2]Microsoft support document). Word also adds
   two new backgrounds Twilight and Polar Night to Focus Mode, and Outlook
   now enables you to view your top 10 groups (as well as read and reply
   to group conversations) from the Groups folder.

   The OneNote note-keeping app also receives a redesigned user interface
   redesign that's aimed at simplifying navigation (especially for larger
   notebooks with more sections), as well as providing a consistent design
   across all supported devices (see this [3]Office blog post for more
   details).

   On the [4]security front, Microsoft has also issued version 14.7.4 of
   [5]Office 2011 to resolve critical vulnerabilities that could result in
   remote code execution if a maliciously crafted Office file were opened.
   ($149.99 for one-time purchase, free update through Microsoft
   AutoUpdate, [6]release notes, 10.10+)
