It is the first Tuesday of July 2018 and that means it is Microsoft Office Patch Day; more precisely, it is Office non-security patch day as this happens on the first Tuesday of any month while security updates for Office are delivered a week later on the second Tuesday of the month.
Check out last month’s updates as well if you have not already.
Microsoft released updates for Office 2010, 2013 and 2016 today. These updates are only provided for the MSI installer version of Microsoft Office and not for Click-to-run editions such as Office 365.
Updates are available for direct download on the Microsoft Download Center or through Microsoft Update.
Just follow the links to Microsoft’s support website. You find downloads links for 32-bit and 64-bit versions on the page.
Office 2010
Just one update for the PowerPoint 2010 application of Office 2010. The update requires the Microsoft Office 2010 Service Pack 2.

Office 2013
Microsoft released four non-security updates for Office 2013 in July 2018. Updates are for Excel, Outlook, and Office in general.
KB4022244 — Excel 2013 update that fixes a rare crash that may occur when you copy a cell with unknown metadata, paste it on the same cell, and then undo the operation.
KB4018378 — The update fixes a pages disappearing issue when you use repeat as header row at the top of each page on a row in the table properties of a multipage table, and set the text direction for the header row to vertical, and insert a footnote to a cell in the header row. Wonder how they found out about that in first place.
