Office for Mac 2016 is now available to Office 365 subscribers, bringing OS X-optimised features to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote applications.
A preview version of the office suite has been available since March, with participants from the trial influencing the final versions of the applications, which are similar to the PC and iPad editions, but with the Mac’s full screen support, multi-touch gestures and full Retina display capabilities.
“Mac preview participants provided us with over 100,000 pieces of feedback. Based on this feedback, we released seven updates in four months with significant improvements in performance and stability. We also added features like improved Mail Merge in Word, Propose New Time in Outlook and support for External Data Connections in Excel.”
“And the best news is that Office for Mac will continue to see ongoing improvements over time. We plan to release updates and new features for Office 365 customers at least once per quarter.”
Office for Mac 2016 is available immediately to anyone with an Office 365 personal or business subscription and will be available for a one-time purchase from September.
Microsoft has released new Office apps for Android tablets and smartphones, iPad and iPhone in recent months, with touch-first applications for Windows Phone also made available.
