Resolved issues

Excel

• We fixed an issue that compiled VBA macros more often.
• Fixed an issue where large cell selection operations might fail in virtual machine environments.

Word

• Fixed an issue when the last key was released quickly, sometimes AutoComplete wouldn't perform.
• Fixed an issue where attempting to open an .odt files with a table would result in an error message, "Word found unreadable content. Do you want to recover this document".

Office Suite

• We fixed an issue in PowerPoint record window in case of audio or video hardware issue. In case either the audio or video hardware fails to provide picture or voice then we were waiting forever with an assumption that this should never happen when the initial communication with those devices are successful. The changes will no longer make that assumption and fail sooner, so that the user can toggle (off/on) the devices and try to record again.
• We fixed an issue that caused Mandatory Label warning bar to show even though the policy has Default label on it. The issue is for WXP documents in one drive sync folder in Win32. The fix checks if default label application was ever attempted.
