February 10, 2015 update for Office 2013 (KB2920798)

Improvements and Fixes

• This update enables copy-protection for the Facebook contacts folder in Outlook 2013 so that it integrates better with the Facebook contacts sync feature of Office 365.

• This update provides you an informative message when you cannot open an Office document on a computer that has both Office 2013 Click-to-Run edition and Microsoft Installer (.msi)-based edition installed. The informative message may resembles following:

  Sorry, we can't perform this action. Incompatible Office products are installed on your machine. If you have an administrator, please contact them for help.

• Improves the usability of PowerPoint 2013 so that you will be able to record your inking actions when you record a slide show. Also, you will be able to insert a video recorded from the screen into the PowerPoint presentation. (This improvement is not available in Microsoft Office Home and Student 2013 RT)
  
  Note To enable this improvement, you must also have update KB2889846 for Office 2013 and update KB2920732 for PowerPoint 2013 installed.

• Fixes the following issues:

  • Assume that you create a shortcut in the Custom Office Templates folder, and the shortcut links to a folder that contains one or more templates. In this situation, when you try to create new documents based on these templates in an Office 2013 application, you cannot use the given templates. You may receive a file conversation for the shortcut or the following error message:

    We couldn't find any templates in this location.

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You sign in with your Microsoft account in Office 2013.

    • You enable the two-step verification feature for your Microsoft account.

    • The Account tab in the Office 2013 application has an Account Error message and a Fix Me button.

    In this scenario, the Fix Me button does not fix the account error.
     

  • You cannot update the certificate of a user who is in your Contacts folder in Outlook 2013.

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You configure Outlook 2013 to connect to the Internet though a proxy server that requires basic authentication.

    • You configure the AllowImageProxyAuth registry key to let Outlook download images as this requires proxy authentication.

    • You have update KB2863880 for Office 2013 or Office 2013 Service Pack 1 installed.

    In this scenario, you are not prompted for credentials. Additionally, the images cannot be downloaded and are displayed as red X instead.
