Upgrading From Microsoft Office For Mac 2011 To 2016 Average ratng: 10,0/10 7619 reviews

I have Office for Mac 2011. Microsoft: “..Office for Mac 2011 will no longer be supported after October 10, 2017. This means that if you have a one-time purchase of an older version of Office or an existing Office 365 subscription, you'll want to think about upgrading to Office 2016.”

I have thousands of Word 2011 documents. If I keep Office for Mac 2011, am I in danger of having them all become corrupt? I’ve been reading lots of complaints hate Office 2016 - takes up lots of hard drive space, slow, etc. Suggestions? Thanks.

Apr 14, 2014  Office 365 is just Office on Windows, Office on Mac, Office on mobile, and Office on web. AFAIK there are no new features if you already have Office 2011 for Mac installed. Just download the OneDrive client from Mac App Store, and sync up your existing Office documents to make it accessible from Office for Web/iPad apps. Mar 06, 2017  Double-click the file that you downloaded in step 5 to place the Microsoft Office 2011 14.7.2 Update volume on your desktop, and then double-click the Microsoft Office 2011 14.7.2 Update volume to open it. This step might have been performed for you. Existing Office 2016 for Mac customers will be seamlessly upgraded to 64-bit versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote as part of the August product release (version 15.25). This affects customers of all license types: Retail, Office 365 Consumer, Office 365 Commercial, and Volume.

Applies to:Office for Mac, Office 2019 for Mac, Office 2016 for Mac

Apple has long encouraged application developers to adopt the 64-bit runtime environment, and we've been hearing from customers that 64-bit versions of Office for Mac are desirable to enable larger address spaces, better performance, and new innovative features. All releases of Office for Mac after August 22, 2016 are 64-bit only.

What does this change mean for me?

  • If you use Office for Mac but don't use any add-ins, you should be unaffected by this change.

  • If you use or develop add-ins in Office for Mac, you may need to update those add-ins to 64-bit.

I develop add-ins or write VBA for Office for Mac. What do I need to know?

  • The primary impact of this change is to compiled add-ins. Office add-ins (add-ins using the JavaScript-based APIs) are not impacted by this change.

  • The work required to update your add-ins for 64-bit will vary based on the code.

  • For example, any use of VBA's DECLARE statement to load external functions in compiled dynamic libraries will require that those libraries support 64-bit. The VBA code itself will continue to work as VBA is transitioned to 64-bit, but you'll need to update the external libraries.
