Hi folks - thanks for those who worked with our CSS folks to help us find the issue (we think that it's a date handling bug - you can confirm by temporarily setting your regional settings to the US style of ‘MM/DD/yy.’)

We're working on a fix for this - as per usual I can't give you an exact date but it should go out in one of the next couple of monthly updates. 

Sorry for the inconvenience here - we are a global company and we have a large number of international tests as well as extensive internal & global dogfood so no idea how we missed this one :-(

    Thanks Radu (and other folks on the thread) - we're working on this issue right now. Apologies for the pain, I'd thought we'd got this one nailed but apparently not.

    Can those of you with ongoing problems share the version of your client? (Go to "File"/"Account" and it's on the right hand side like: 16.0.xxxx.xxxx)

    I'll update as soon as I have more information.

    Appreciate your patience with this and we'll get something out as soon as we can.

    This was fixed a long time ago and is working with dd-MMM-yyyy on both my PC and Notebook.

    Those that are still experiencing this issue should check that Office updates are enabled.

    If updates are turned off then of course you will see this issue.  

    Version here is 16.0.6965.2053

    My problem was that when I installed 2016, the file extensions were not associated with 2016, instead were still associated with an older version. Once I set the default program to be 2016, it worked.
