Summary

This article describes the issues that are fixed in the Microsoft Office 2010 hotfix package that is dated December 10, 2013.

INTRODUCTION

Issues that this hotfix package fixes

  • Assume that you format a paragraph by using a custom style that derives properties from another custom style in Word 2010. When you paste some plain text into the paragraph, the paragraph does not keep the style.

  • When you use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to change the protection type or the protection password of a document in Word 2010, the protection setting is not changed as expected.

  • Assume that you create a document using a template that contains a linked object such as a linked Excel chart in Word 2010. When you select No in the Do you want to update this document with the data from the linked files dialog box, the linked object is updated unexpectedly.

  • When you use the Application.ActivePrinter property that contains a printer name without considering case sensitive in Word 2010, you receive the following error message:

    Run-time error '5216':"There is a printer error."

  • You cannot open an embedded Word document that contains a floating embedded OLE object. For example, when you try to open an embedded Word document from an Excel workbook, you receive the following error message:

    Microsoft Excel can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly. Would you like to repair this feature now?
