Windows 10: Office Document layout/margins overflow on Office 2016 + Win 10

The issue is specific to Office 2016 on Win 10 (Office 2016 on Win 7, no problem, Office 2010 on Win 10, no problem). Certain documents (reported by a user who receives documents with Japanese text, haven't seen it happen with others) have the layout messed up, a 2 page Word doc gets spread over 4 pages, and I've been given some sample powerpoint slides which have text overflowing the end of the slide.

Word doc was originally in Legacy 2003 format, I did manage to make this particular document display correctly by saving it in .docx format, then enabling compatibility changes via vba, setting to 2010 compatibility and enabling "Use printer metrics to lay out document" based on what I read here: BUG!! Word 2016 fails to print margins correctly / messes - Microsoft Community

The other sample file I received was a .pptx - haven't been able to find corresponding compatibility options in Powerpoint.

Wouldn't be quite so annoying if they didn't both display perfectly in Windows 7.

How do I find /see ALL updates installed (Win 10)?

I had not set my updates to include Microsoft products, so the updates for Word 2016 and Excel 2016 were not installed. I was not aware of this setting, so I opened Word 2016 and updated via Create a new document > Files > Account > Update Options > Update
Now. It kept spinning and spinning as it downloaded and never seemed to quit. So, eventually, I closed the Word 2016 window. Then a dialogue box popped up that said that it was installing the updates. I went back to Word 2016 > Create a new document >
Files > Account > Update Options > Update Now and the message came back that Office 2016 was up to date.

However, I would like to see if those Office files were actually installed and what files they were. There is a list of Office 2016 updates (going back to the time I installed Office 2016). I just want to see what has been installed for Office 2016 since
then.

These Office Updates (if installed via one of the Office applications)
do not show up in Settings > Update and Security > Update History.

Neither do they show up under Control Panel> Programs > Programs and Features > Installed Updates as they would in Windows 7 or Vista.

So, how is it possible to find these Office 2016 updates on my Windows 10 machine??

 

MS indic language input tools, not working, windows 10

Hi, i'm using office 2016, after upgrading my OS win 8.1 to Win 10, come to know that mine MS indic languahe input tools (Hindi, Punajbi) stopped working, means keyboard layout changed. I want to get that old layout that i type in roman and it will be
written in hindi or punjabi. pleaase help me to sort out. thanks in advance.

 

Turns out it was some sort of font substitution issue. I noticed the fonts in Word/Powerpoint weren't present in the Windows font dir. Copied them over from another Win 7 machine, suddenly everything looks fine.

Not sure why Office 2010 did a better job of it than 2016, I couldn't really pick if there was a difference in the Japanese characters before and after the font, only that the page layout was stuffed...
