Submit feedback. Thank you for your feedback! Privacy policy. Office and Microsoft are governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy , which requires customers to stay current as per the servicing and system requirements for the product or service.
These requirements include using Microsoft Apps on a Windows operating system that is currently in support. Using Microsoft Apps on older, unsupported operating systems may cause performance and reliability issues over time. Therefore, if your organization is using Microsoft Apps on devices running Windows 7, we strongly recommend your organization moves those devices to Windows 11 or Windows Even though Windows 7 is no longer supported, we've decided to continue to provide you with security updates for Microsoft Apps for the next three years, until January We're doing this to give you more time to make the transition from using Microsoft Apps on devices running Windows 7 to devices running a supported operating system, such as Windows 11 or Windows But, during that time, as long as the device is still running Windows 7, your installation of Microsoft Apps won't receive any new features updates.
Version is the last version of Microsoft Apps that you can install on devices running Windows 7. This means that if you want to continue to deploy and update Microsoft Apps on devices that are running Windows 7, you need to use Version If you try to install a newer version of Microsoft Apps, such as Version , on a device running Windows 7, you'll receive an error message.
You can't use those tools because Version is no longer available as a choice in the version drop-down list in those tools. To update an existing installation of Version , you can keep using the same management tools that you're currently using, such as the Office Deployment Tool or Configuration Manager.
Also, Microsoft Apps can remain on the same update channel as before. If Microsoft Apps is configured to get updates directly from the Office Content Delivery Network CDN on the internet, Microsoft Apps on devices running Windows 7 will be updated automatically to the most current release of Version for that update channel. If you use Configuration Manager and the Software Update management workflow to update installations of Microsoft Apps, we recommend that you create a separate collection for your Windows 7 devices.
Then, use a query rule to add members to the collection. On the second Tuesday of each month, a new update package for Version that is only for devices running Windows 7 will be made available in the Microsoft Update Catalog. When writing bit code, you can use the bit version of Office without any changes. However, when you write bit code, you should ensure that your code contains specific keywords and conditional compilation constants to ensure that the code is backward compatible with earlier version of Office, and that the correct code is being executed if you mix bit and bit code.
Visual Basic for Applications 7. The changes described in this article apply only to the bit versions of Office. Using the bit versions of Microsoft Office enable you to use solutions built in previous versions of Office without further modifications. By default, when you install a bit version of Office you cannot install the bit version alongside it. You must explicitly select the Microsoft Office bit version installation option.
Additionally, you must update address pointers and display window handles in user-defined types that are used by these statements. This is discussed in more detail in this article as well as compatibility issues between the bit and bit versions and suggested solutions.
Applications built with the bit versions of Office can reference larger address spaces than bit versions. This means you can use more physical memory for data than before, potentially reducing the overhead spent moving data in and out of physical memory.
In addition to referring specific locations known as pointers in physical memory, you can also use addresses to reference display window identifiers known as handles. The size in bytes of the pointer or handle depends on whether you're using a bit or bit system. If you want to run your existing solutions with the bit versions of Office, be aware of the following:.
Native bit processes in Office cannot load bit binaries. This is expected to be a common issue when you have existing Microsoft ActiveX controls and existing add-ins. VBA previously didn't have a pointer data type, so you had to use bit variables to store pointers and handles. These variables now truncate bit values returned by API calls when using Declare statements.
VBA 7 is available in both the bit and bit versions of Office. It provides two conditional compilation constants:. With certain exceptions, the macros in a document that work in the bit version of the application also work in the bit version. Existing bit ActiveX controls, are not compatible with the bit versions of Office. These controls were installed by bit versions of Office earlier than Office You'll need to find an alternative for your existing VBA solutions that use these controls when you migrate the code to the bit versions of Office.
The combination of VBA and type libraries gives you lots of functionality to create Office applications. However, sometimes you must communicate directly with the computer's operating system and other components, such as when you manage memory or processes, when working with UI elements linke windows and controls, or when modifying the Windows registry.
In these scenarios, your best option is to use one of the external functions that are embedded in DLL files. Microsoft provides a Win32API. However, these statements are for bit systems and must be converted to bit by using the information discussed later in this article. Existing Declare statements won't compile in bit VBA until they've been marked as safe for bit by using the PtrSafe attribute. The Office Code Compatibility Inspector user's guide is a useful tool to inspect the syntax of API Declare statements for the PtrSafe attribute, if needed, and the appropriate return type.
