Office 2016 for Mac, now yes

In September of last year Microsoft launched Office 2016 for Mac that, as many of you will remember, gave certain problems coinciding with the arrival of OS X El Capitan. However, at Microsoft they have managed to do their job and solve those inconveniences that we already talked about in Applelizados and now, it is the Office we want on our Mac. For this reason, today I am going to tell you some of the most outstanding features and functions that allow us to affirm that Office continues to be the office suite par excellence.

Why Office 2016 for Mac is the Office we deserve

Office 2016 for Mac has brought us a redesigned, new and modern interface that fits much better with that minimalist and flat style that Apple already introduced in its mobile devices with iOS 7 and that later transferred to Mac with the Yosemite version. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook have been designed, or rather, redesigned, so that we aesthetically want to have and use them on our Mac, including support for the Retina display. But in reality, its external design wouldn't be so important if it weren't for its features and functionalities.

The "cloud" is now more prominent than ever. With his OneDrive integration, now we can access our work from any device, Mac, iPhone or iPad, PC or Android device, and at any time, and continue where we left off, without wasting a single second of our time.

Also, the redesigned ribbon-like menu is similar in both Office for Mac as in its version for iPad or for Windows, and this makes it much easier for us to find that function or tool that we need at that precise moment. The experience is similar where we have Office applications installed, and that makes us much more productive and avoids wasting time and frustration. We can start an article like this on our Mac, add an idea to it that has come to us later from our iPad, and finish it on the office PC, and we will not find a difference, we will have the feeling of being using the same software, and this is great.

Another approach that has been significantly enhanced in Office 2016 for Mac is collaborative work; We can share documents and be co-author of them, as well as write and respond to comments made by other members of our work team; We can work simultaneously on documents and discuss the work that is being carried out in front of us.
