Microsoft today released Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Office 2013. This update KB2817430, “improves security, performance, and stability” of Office 2013 and also contains roll up of all previous updates of the popular software suite.

“Office 2013 SP1 improves compatibility with Windows 8.1, Internet Explorer 11 and modern hardware, such as high-DPI devices and precision touchpads. It also provides new apps for Office capabilities and APIs for third-party developers. In addition, Office 2013 SP1 includes all of the monthly security updates that were released through January 2014, and all the Cumulative Updates that were released through December 2013. It also includes all of the previously unreleased fixes that include general product fixes, as well as improvements in stability, performance, and security,” Thurrott writes.

  1. Tried to install on Office Home and Student 2013, but got “There are no products affected by this package installed on this system”. 32-bit ver. Any idea?
