Windows 10: Office 2016 & Office 365 Current Channel version 1611 build 7571.2109

I just got this for my stand alone (non-Office 365) Microsoft Office Professional Plus 32 bit, in which I've never used any MS account to sign in.

 

Is anyone having problems with Excel not having an undo/redo?

I'm on the Fast Ring, so I have 7668.2048.

And, of course, when I really, really, really need Excel, it's crapping out on me. Sometimes it won't even open a spreadsheet; just gives a blank screen.

 

I just went and checked, and since I am on the Office Insider builds, my current build is actually 7712.1000, and it has undo and redo working correctly.

Have you tried an Office repair?

 

No, and after I posted that, I remembered that I'm on the slow ring, not the fast ring. *Redface If I needed confirmation of that, you just did, with your Build number. *Eek

I'm dual booting Windows AU and Build 15007 and have the same Build of O365 on both partitions. I'm getting undo/redo on AU, but not in Build 15007.

I don't have time to clean install Build 15007, but I'm thinking that may be what it takes to get things right again. Build 15002 did a complete number on my system, and Build 15007 didn't solve any of the problems 15002 created. *Sad

 

Ah, well as long as you have a working Office install on AU, you are good then.

15002 was horrendous, 007 is not much better but I seem to have gotten all the kinks worked out.

Office 7712 had not given me an issue yet.

 

I read somewhere (memory's getting old; mine, that is) that there are issues with Excel, but can't find it again. *Sad And I can't remember for sure, but I think it was in relation to Windows 10. Oh, well, you're working well, so that means I should be too, even if I'm not.

 

My Office 2016 Professional Plus 32 bit, Desktop version, just got updated:

 

Thank you Joanne. *Smile

That appears to be an Office Insider build.

 

Thank you, Brink *Smile

Would you be so kind to tell me from where can you distinguish this, and if it is a Fast or a Slow Insider ring?

 

I just Googled the version number, and it came back as an Insider version.

I'm not an Insider to know for sure, but you should be able to click on File > Account, and see if you have an Office Insider tile available.

Office Insider details and FAQs

 

Normally it shows you in File --> Accounts, IIRC

 

Joanne, I'm pretty sure I'm on the Insider Slow Ring. I just saw your post and checked for updates. I was on 7668.2048, but it's updating. *Smile So, I'm pretty sure I'll be there with you in a few.

My Office 365 Pro Plus is courtesy of an MVP who has so many comp Office subscriptions that she was able to share with me.

Whoops, I have to shut down Outlook so I'd best run . . .

 

Thank you, Wynona, I hope your update went well *Smile

When, and if, you'll find some time, please post the version (build) number you got updated to.

In my Office 2016 Professional Plus 32 bit installation, I do not see anything called "Insider", neither something about "Fast" or "Slow" rings. This is why I have no clue. You can see a screenshot of how my expanded account screen looks like, in Outlook, in post #15 of this thread.

Perhaps I do not see that I am an Insider (?) because I have never logged in with my MS account? Dunno...

A few months ago I was using the 64 bit version of Office. Back then I recall seeing this "Insider" label in my account tab. Now, with the 32 bit, and especially after installing the Proofing Tools for my native language, I do not see anything. I am just getting updates.

There is absolutely no problem with my Office 2016, everything functions perfectly, always. I mean, it's not that I'm trying to resolve some issue *Smile
I'm just leaving all this information here. *Smile

 

That's interesting. If you ahve not logged into your Microsoft account for office, then it should not be pulling Insider builds down - after all, it needs to verify you are supposed to get Office Insdier Preview builds via your account.

Perhaps it is remembering your previous installation of 64bit office that 8was* an insider build....and thus continuing to download current insider builds for you.

 

As per normal, everything went as expected; nothing jumped up and bit me in the . . . *Smile

I'm up to 7668.2064.

I know that I saw it somewhere, but I've been all over "Manage Account" and didn't find anything showing that I'm an Insider either, or if I'm on the fast or slow ring; however, I know I signed up for it. I've been "previewing" Office 365 since August 2014; at that time it was required that we own a subscription before we could test, so I bought my first Pro Plus subscription from Amazon.com for $63.xx.

I gather you're not on the Windows 10 Insider Program? Since you don't log in with a MS account. I don't think though, that the Office Insider and Windows Insider Programs are "tied" together; mainly because you haven't logged in with a MS account. You seem to get your updates without that. *Smile

Although I started out with Pro Plus, it seems that I'm on Enterprise E3. Wow! The things we learn when someone asks a simple question. *What

Back when they closed most of Office 365 tests down on Yammer (I don't have a clue about what that was all about), they created new sites for those of us testing, but I could never get up to speed on those, so I no longer participated. They also "advertised" for people to sign up as Insiders. I suspect that somehow, that's what you did. I can tell ya, it wasn't easily done for those of us with a version higher than Home! For quite some time, with every new Build of Windows 10, I had to go into the Registry and change a particular line before my Insider status would be "honored" with new Builds.
