Office' 16 Special - Mac Users

Microsoft has also brought a new version of the suite to the Mac, finally, after Mac users have been left with the 2011 edition for the last half decade. Office 2016 for Mac includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and also Outlook for Mac and an updated version of the free OneNote for Mac app, and it's out now( even released ahead of the Windows version). Yes, Mac users get the suite first, which is certainly something of a statement from Microsoft – namely that Apple users are important to them.
Office 2016 for Mac has witnessed the introduction of a range of new features designed for Apple's computers, including full support for Retina Displays and multi-touch gestures, plus the user interface has been overhauled and brought up to date as was badly needed, delivering the ribbons and task panes of the Windows Office applications – though it still sticks firmly with the Yosemite look, of course.
New Rights Management Services are present in the suite, allowing you to set documents to expire after a certain date, or prevent an email from being forwarded anywhere else (as with Windows). Office 2016 for Mac also very neatly bakes OneDrive into the mix for Mac users.
Word on the Mac boasts a ton of new design and collaboration options, with Excel offering an improved formula builder and deeper analysis capabilities with new PivotTable slicers. PowerPoint has an improved Presenter View and new animation pane, with Outlook having push mail support and an improved conversation view to keep your threaded messages better organised.
Office 2016 for Mac has been honed by over 100,000 pieces of feedback which were submitted over four months of the preview program, during which time there were seven updates to the suite. You can expect regular updates going forward as well, with Microsoft having promised new features and release updates at least once every quarter.
The only drawback, perhaps – there will be something of a learning curve for Mac Office stalwarts, but no pain, no gain, as they say…
