Microsoft has fixed a known issue causing Office applications like Word and Excel to crash when working with cloud documents.
The complete list of affected Office apps includes Excel for Microsoft 365, Word for Microsoft 365, and PowerPoint for Microsoft 365.
"Word, Excel, and PowerPoint might close unexpectedly when opening, closing, saving, uploading, or downloading cloud files in Office Version 2205," the company described the issue on its support website.
Microsoft says the Microsoft 365 issue has been addressed in Office Version 2206 Build 16.0.15330.
"Excel for Microsoft 365 might experience performance problems or stop responding when switching between worksheets of an existing file containing a PivotTable to which a filter has been applied," Microsoft explained.
Microsoft also provides a workaround for Office 2021 or Office 2019 customers who will not be provided with a fix.
