   Microsoft Office 2011 14.5.6

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Microsoft has issued version 14.5.6 of its [1]Office 2011 suite to
   correct an Exchange syncing issue that bedeviled users who had migrated
   to OS X 10.11 El Capitan. In particular, a bug with Outlook caused
   unending hangs, making it impossible to download new email when running
   El Capitan. While Office 2011 has received a fix, Office 2016 users are
   still awaiting relief (and are being vocal about it in this
   [2]Microsoft Community thread) from repeated crashes suffered not just
   by Outlook but also by Word, Excel, and Powerpoint (as noted by this
   [3]Computerworld article). (Free update from the [4]Microsoft Download
   Center or through Microsoft AutoUpdate, 113 MB, [5]release notes,
   10.5.8+)
