Microsoft Office 2016 For Mac Now Available
Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac was released back in October 2010 and now, almost 5 years later, we finally have a new office for Mac.
Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac was released last Friday and is now available in 139 countries and 16 languages for all Office 365 subscribers.
Office 365 Personal will cost you S$89/year for 1 PC or Mac & 1 Tablet while Office 365 Home will cost you $138/year for 5 PCs or Macs & 5 mobile devices/tablets.
The box version of Office 2016 for Mac will only be available in September 2015.
If you are already using Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, please uninstall it first before installing Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac. You can find the uninstall instructions from Microsoft Office Support website: Uninstall Office 2011 from a Mac. It is quite a tedious process. I wish Microsoft would come out with an uninstaller instead.
Word for Mac
Word’s powerful writing and reviewing tools make it easy to create great-looking documents. The new Design tab lets you easily apply designer-quality layouts, colors and fonts throughout your document. You can work on the same document simultaneously with your teammates and use threaded comments to have a conversation right next to the corresponding text.
Excel for Mac
The new Excel for Mac helps you visualize your information by recommending charts best suited for your data with chart previews. Familiar keyboard shortcuts, autocomplete and an improved formula builder save you time when creating spreadsheets or entering data. For deeper analysis, new PivotTable Slicers help you filter large volumes of data and discover patterns.
PowerPoint for Mac
PowerPoint’s improved Presenter View gives you full control when you present by showing you the current slide, next slide, speaker notes and a timer on your Mac screen, while the audience only sees your presentation on the big screen. The new animation pane helps you design and fine-tune animations, and the latest set of slide transitions add polish to your presentations.
Outlook for Mac
Managing your email, calendar, contacts and tasks has never been easier. The new Outlook for Mac has push mail support so your inbox is always up-to-date. The improved conversation view automatically organizes your inbox around threaded conversations, so you won’t have to hunt for related messages. And the new message preview shows you the first sentence of an email just below the subject line so you can quickly decide if you want to read it now or come back later.
OneNote for Mac
OneNote is the newest addition to Office for Mac. You can capture your ideas in digital notebooks and access them on any device. Find things quickly with the OneNote search engine that tracks your tags, indexes your typed notes and recognizes text in images and handwritten notes. Bold, italicize, underline or highlight notes, insert files, pictures and tables and organize your notes however you want. You can also share notebooks with friends, family or colleagues so everyone can work together on travel plans, household tasks or work projects.
