In August 2016, Microsoft released an automatic update that replaced the old 32-bit code of Office for the Mac with 64-bit code. There's nothing so startlingly new that it will get in the way of. That's because all of the suite's essential features work as they always did, though with added options and conveniences. Almost everything is improved, with a bright, spacious interface, yet the learning curve is almost flat. It took five years from Office 2011's release to get this latest Mac office suite, but it was well worth the wait. Microsoft Office 2016 for the Mac is the kind of upgrade I hope for but rarely get.
