FEATURES
Office 2016 features for macOS
PDF in Word
Open text-based PDFs for editing and then save them in Word or PDF format.
Video from a presentation
Share a PowerPoint slideshow as MP4 or WMV with recorded narration. Viewers can watch it in a video player even without PowerPoint.
Document review
Accept and reject revisions, combining changes from several copies. This mode helps agree on a shared text and separately check which changes each participant proposed.
Find commands with "Tell me what you want to do"
Describe an action in the Tell Me field to find the relevant tool. This is useful for rarely used commands whose position on the ribbon is unfamiliar.
New Excel charts
Use waterfall, histogram and other added chart types. They help show the contribution of individual amounts, value distributions and data structure.
Collaboration in Word
When a document is stored in a supported cloud location, coauthors can work on it simultaneously. This applies to Word 2016 and requires a suitable connection and account.
Consistent material formatting
Use themes and styles for consistent fonts, colors and headings. Shared formatting tools help you prepare matching documents and presentations for a project.

Questions and answers
Is a direct installer available for Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac?
Enabled downloads lead directly to verified installer files. — Use an enabled Download button for Mac to retrieve the matching English installer directly from the official publisher. Check the selected product and license before installation. Account, store and guide pages are not offered as downloads.
Will Office 2016 work on a Mac running OS X Mavericks 10.9?
Requires OS X 10.10+ — No. The historical minimum requirement for Office 2016 for Mac is OS X Yosemite 10.10. You should not install this release on Mavericks 10.9; move to a compatible system and remember that support for Office 2016 ended long ago.
Why does the downloaded Office 2016 for Mac not update beyond 16.16.27?
Latest build 16.16.27 — 16.16.27 is the final release branch of Office 2016 for Mac. Since support ended in October 2020, this release no longer receives regular updates or security fixes; newer versions of Office require a different license.
How do I choose the right Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac option for Mac?
Use the installation path for your actual device and license. — Check the official system requirements, platform, edition and architecture before installation. On Windows, confirm compatibility with existing Office apps and add-ins. Windows installation media cannot be installed on macOS or mobile devices.
Will Outlook work after downloading Office 2016 Home & Student for Mac?
Outlook depends on the edition — No: Home & Student 2016 for Mac does not include rights to Outlook. Microsoft lists Outlook for Home & Business and applicable volume licenses, so check your edition before downloading and activating.
