Without notice Microsoft today announced an update to the beta version o preview of Office 2016 for Mac, it comes just over a month after it was first released, now with an even more modern look and new features. In this update, Word has been the program of the entire suite that has received more new features, as well as OneNote has remained practically as it was.
The updates that have been carried out are mainly focused on the user interface, where we are now shown a more colorful top bar and an equally more stylized bottom bar for Word, Excel and PowerPoint. As I said, Outlook and OneNote have not received any kind of "visual" update.
Let's focus on the new version of Word, which has been the most retouched in this update and it has received quite a few performance improvements. User information settings are now placed in the preferences in the style of the preferences panel in OS X, it also includes support for the most popular Word keyboard shortcuts as well as improved support for VoiceOver in addition to other performance improvements and fixes of mistakes. New features include "custom dictionary", support for "exclude dictionary", a new search function for online document templates, and a new macro recording function.
On the other hand, Outlook includes improvements in network management for Exchange accounts, bug fixes and a new feature called "Propose new time"That is, specific meeting attendees can propose a new time for that meeting, and meeting organizers can view the proposed time and modify the proposals, and then resend the updated time to all other attendees if necessary.
For its part, Excel includes a new analysis tool "ToolPack", a new feature called "Solver" and improved support for VoiceOver in addition to the classic bug fixes. Finally, PowerPoint also received improved VoiceOver support and known bug fixes. The Office 2016 preview is freely available to all Mac users with OS X Yosemite. Microsoft has plans to officially launch the program in the second half of 2015.
How do I update? 🙂
Hello, I don't know if it happens to someone else, but with the latest Word update, with the mouse I can't copy, cut or paste. I would like to know if there is any solution for this. Thank you.
