Introducing Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac
Last month, Mac users heard the great news that Microsoft announced about Office 2016 for Mac being available now for Microsoft Office 365 customers. Users of Office 365 already know that it is designed for today’s cloud and mobile technology to make it easier for customers to work productively on multiple devices and between the three main platforms of Mac, Windows and Android. For Mac users today, the new Office 2016 will make switching between them even easier.
Office 2016 takes the Mac version up to the same level as the Windows one. Subscribers to Office 365 will discover that Office 2016 for Mac has a new addition, OneNote for Mac. Mac users recording their ideas into this digital notebook technology can reach them from any device and find things quickly using OneNote’s built-in search engine. OneNote projects can be shared with friends, family or colleagues, for real-time editing.
Microsoft Word for Mac 2016 also now facilitates real-time co-authoring of Word documents that are stored in the cloud on OneDrive, as part of the newest Office 2016 preview releases. To access this new feature, two or more people need to be running the latest preview and must give all co-authors permissions. When these users open the same Word document, they can co-edit it at the same time and will be able to view the cursor locations and edits made by each other as and when they happen, automatically.
In Office 2016 for Mac, Word also features new authoring and review tools, including a new Design tab that enables Mac users to manage layout. When several people are working on the same document, they can use threaded comments to have conversations alongside the relevant text. Microsoft Word 2016 also makes use of the Retina display on the Mac and documents can be explored using familiar touch-pad gestures such as pinch to zoom.
If you are a Mac user who already subscribes to Office 365 and you’d like to know more about getting Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac now, contact Premier Computer Services – it won’t be available mainstream until September.
