This article contains release notes for Insider builds of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access and Project for Windows desktop. Every week, we’ll highlight interesting new features, important fixes, and any significant issues we want you to know about. Note that we often roll out features (and sometimes even fixes) over a period of time to Insiders. This allows us to ensure that things are working smoothly before releasing the feature to a wider audience. So, if you don’t see something described below, not to worry. You'll get it eventually.
