Apple updates OS X El Capitan to 10.11.1 with fix for Office 2016 crashes

From InfoWorld: Apple today released OS X 10.11.1, the first update for its El Capitan operating system, and implied that the refresh includes a fix for the crash problems that users of Microsoft's Office 2016 for Mac have reported for months.

Among the notations listed in Apple's accompanying update description was one that stated, "Improves compatibility with Microsoft Office 2016."

Other items on the list ranged from improved reliability when upgrading to El Capitan to resolutions for issues within Mail, the OS's built-in email client.

But the changes to El Capitan related to Office 2016 for Mac were what users of the suite have been waiting for.

Microsoft has taken a shellacking on its Office 2016 for Mac support discussion forum since Sept. 30, the day Apple released El Capitan. But reports of trouble running Excel, OneNote, Outlook and PowerPoint on the new OS X began in mid summer, just a day after Microsoft shipped the suite and Apple issued the first public beta of 10.11.
