  • When you save a document as a .pdf file in Word 2016, invisible table and text are displayed in the .pdf file.
    

  • When you use Word Automation Services to update fields, table-related formulas are reset to zero.
    

  • The Range.Revisionsproperty returns all documents revisions, but not for only the selected documents.
    

  • When you update a table of contents in Word 2016, Word 2016 may crash.
    

  • After you paste text-based OLE links to an email draft in Outlook 2016, the links are broken when you close and open the email message again in compose mode. Similarly, these links are broken in any mail someone has sent to you.
    

  • End-user-defined characters (EUDC) aren't displayed according to font settings.
