The new Office 2016 for Mac includes updated versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook-and the moment you open any one of the apps, you'll immediately feel the difference. The new apps offer full retina display support with thousands of retina-optimized graphics, full screen view for native immersive experiences, and even little Mac affordances like scroll bounce. It's unmistakably Office - but thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the unique features of the Mac. Office 2016 for Mac is powered by the cloud so you can access your documents anytime, anywhere, and on any device. You will receive regular updates automatically until the official release in the second half of 2015.

Some idiosyncrasies and omissions remain to be addressed, but it’ll do for now. The return of Visual Basic, the Ribbon interface and new collaboration features will make many users look again at Excel on the Mac. The omission of a few features already seen in Excel 2010 for Windows, however, is an all too familiar annoyance. Once you get past the disorienting user interface changes, it's less compromised and more usable. Collaboration is also facilitated by a long overdue revamp of the Protection options, which lets you dictate exactly what users can and can't do with locked cells.ĭespite a lack of revolutionary innovations, this upgrade revitalises Excel as a Mac app. Sadly, it doesn't work on iOS devices, although you can view documents. The Web App can display charts and other graphical formatting, but doesn't let you create them from scratch, and omits the Formula Builder, among other features.
