Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac


 * For the PC version, see Microsoft Office 2016.

Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac  has new features in the Mac release, including an updated user interface that uses ribbons, full support for Retina display, and new sharing features for Office documents.

New features
In Word, there is a new Design tab, an Insights feature, which is powered by Bing, and real-time co-authoring. In Excel, there is a Recommended Charts feature, and PivotTable Slicers. In PowerPoint, there are theme variants, which provide different color schemes for a theme. In Outlook, there is a Propose New Time feature, the ability to see calendars side by side, and a weather forecast in the calendar view.

Outlook 2016 for Mac has very limited support for synchronization of collaboration services outside basic email.

With version 15.25, Office for Mac transitioned from 32-bit to 64-bit by default. Users that require a 32-bit version for compatibility reasons will be able to download the 15.25 version as a manual, one-time update from the Microsoft Office website. All versions following 15.25 will be 64-bit only. Office for Mac received Touch Bar support in an update on February 16, 2017, following the launch of the 2016 MacBook Pro models.

Support
Support ended for this version on October 13, 2020 as Office for Mac doesn't have extended support unlike its Windows counterparts.
