Word Update Failed:

The latest versions such as Word 365 for Microsoft 365 subscriptions and Word 2021 and 2019 for perpetual licenses of Office have been updated to version 2208 (Build 15601.20088), including versions 2207 prior to August The following problems occur in the environment where the updated version distributed to is applied. office.com/myaccount


When inserting the character string wrapping of a figure with "square", the character string of the document will not wrap around one or both sides of the figure and the character string will not overlap with the figure and disappear under normal conditions.

If you apply the above updated version, if you place a figure with text wrapping set to "square", there is a problem with text wrapping in the document, and part of the text string is hidden under the shape and cannot be seen, A phenomenon occurs where the shapes do not wrap around to the right.

As an interim workaround, if you roll back the updated version of Office to version 2207 (build 15330.20264) delivered on July 18, text Column wrapping is normal behavior.

*After reverting, go to File > Account [Update Options] and set it to "Disable automatic updates".

 If the automatic update remains enabled, it will be updated to the latest state again, causing problems.

If a new update appears in the update history of Office, check the status of fixing the problem, and if it seems to be fixed, re-enable automatic updates and apply the latest version.

Update history for Microsoft 365 Apps (listed by date)

* You can also select and refer to the update history of the permanent version of Office 20xx in the left pane of the above page.

If you are using the latest version without rolling back the update, I think there will be no problem if you create and edit the character string of the figure by setting it to something other than "square".

However, I think that the text document that has already been created will need to be edited from time to time.

Behavior of tabs when shapes are placed in word In the above information, the question was asked as a problem when moving text strings with the Tab key, but the wrapping of text strings is "square". A problem also occurs if you drag a shape placed with to the inside of the document.

If you are having trouble using the above functions, I think it would be better to provide feedback on the details of the problem from File > Feedback > Report a Problem.

This is because the more feedback we receive, the faster we can fix it. office.com/setup
