Office 2016 For Mac Support

  

Microsoft Office 2016 on a MAC makes it easier than previous versions to work with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files located in the Office 365 OneDrive for Business or SharePoint sites. These instructions show you how to obtain Office 2016 and start using it with Office 365.
Any Lesley user (not just those on a MAC) can download Office 2016 from the Office 365 website.

Office 2010 is one of the most popular versions of the venerable office suite. In fact, as recently as 2017, a survey showed it was in use among 83% of organizations around the world. In spite of that, Microsoft has officially ended support for Office 2010, as well as the corresponding Office 2016 for Mac. Today we mark the end of support for Office 2010 and Office 2016 for Mac. This means that we’ll no longer provide technical support, bug fixes, or security updates for these products, and organizations that continue to use them may face increased security risks and compliance issues over time.

Impact of using older Office clients to connect to Office 365 services

After October 13, 2020, ongoing investments to our cloud services will not take into account older Office clients. Over time, these Office clients may encounter performance or reliability issues. Organizations that use these older clients will almost certainly face an increased security risk and may find themselves out of compliance depending upon specific regional or industry requirements.

Therefore, administrators should update older Office clients to versions of Office supported for connecting to Office 365 services.

We provide various services to help you upgrade to subscription versions of the Office client. The following list provides some examples of resources that are available:

  • Microsoft FastTrack, for migration and deployment assistance from Microsoft experts.
  • App Assure, for assistance from Microsoft with application compatibility issues.
  • Deployment guide for Microsoft 365 Apps, for technical documentation.
  • Product lifecycle dashboard and upgrade readiness dashboard, for users of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (current branch).
  • Readiness Toolkit for Office add-ins and VBA, to help identify potential issues with add-ins and VBA macros used in your organization.
