Microsoft recently rolled out a long list of Patch Tuesday updates to Microsoft Office 2016, 2013, 2010, and Office 2007. As a quick reminder, Office 2007 took its last breath this October as Microsoft ended support for this tool.

These updates improve system resource usage in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, improve translations, fixes PowerPoint freezes and crashes and add many security improvements for the many Microsoft Office vulnerabilities. The most severe of these issues could even allow remote code execution when users open a specially created Office file.

Without further ado, here is the complete list of the latest Microsoft Office updates.
