Office 2007 expires on 10 October 2017

Office 2007: The end comes. Microsoft announced that Microsoft's company support for Microsoft Office 2007 will expire at 10 October 2017.

Office 2007 was the first version of the office suite that brought the Ribbon interface (ribbon tools) instead of the classic toolbars and menus we knew. It was also the Office version that brought new Open Open XML, docx, pptx, and xlsx file formats.Office 2007

The program Office was released for the first time on 30 January 2007, and main support was completed on 9 October at 2012. So where is the time to end the extended product support that will expire on 10 October at 2017.

The end of life for a Microsoft product means that Microsoft will no longer release updates on the product. This includes security updates as well as any other form of update, for example, to resolve errors. In addition, Microsoft will no longer provide technical support for any issue that comes to its customers.

Microsoft published a list with of Office 2007 that will expire.

The preOffice 2007 like Word, Excel or PowerPoint will continue to work after support ends. On the other hand, Microsoft Outlook will not be able to connect to Office 365 mailboxes after October 10, 2017. This means that users using Outlook 2007 to send or receive Office 365 email users will no longer be able to do so.

The reason for this is that Microsoft willon RPC over HTTP in Office 365 on October 31, 2017.

On October 31, 2017, RPC over HTTP will be deprecated in Exchange Online and replaced with MAPI over HTTP, a modern protocol released in May 2014. This it will affect you if you are running Outlook 2007 because it will not work with MAPI over HTTP. To continue the email connection, Outlook 2007 clients should update to a newer version of Outlook or use Outlook on the web. This change may also affect you if you're using Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, and Outlook 2010, as you'll need to make sure you've installed the latest cumulative update for your version of Office.
