Office 365 for Mac, compared to Office for Mac 2016

Thank you in advance.  Background: on my MBP 2014, I installed initially Office 2011 and well just a bit awkward it was great.  About a month ago, with the release, I'm subscribed to Office 365 personal (including Outlook) for Mac (~$70/yr).  Functions are acceptable for good, really no complaints.  I'm a professor and psychologist and count on my desk intensively. So, a more personal and technical question:

(1) what are the essential differences in the professional features 365 vs 2016 products (Office in the box)?

(2) I recently discovered that I have access to Office for Mac 2016 family and professional that I can get through a MS discount at $9.99 per year.  This is a "local installation" and includes the Office suite basic as above.  I'm a fool to pay $70 to 365 when I can get _presumptively_ the equivalent of Office for Mac 2016 for $10?

Vive and TY!

I can't speak for Mac versions, but I'm familiar with versions of Windows. Subscription Office 365 service is an annual payment, but as long as you're subscribed, the software will continue to be updated behind the scenes. I am as well, Professor in business technology, and we have students here at the College use Office 365. They get the version of the University, which is the same as Office Professional, and they can get a subscription to 4 years for a reduced price. That started with the Windows version of office 2013, and now they get the upgrade to Office 2016. Have you checked with your TI University Department to see if you have access to the software through the University and Microsoft volume licensing? Who can usually net you have the full professional version for little or no cost.

DOE this office for Mac 2016 Home and Business provide you with all the software you need? Many lesser versions contain no Outlook or Access, but if they contain all the software you use and that you need, then it should be an easy decision.

  • Microsoft Office Mac 2016 - worth it?

    Hello world!

    I recently bought a Mac and the need for the Office Suite. I downloaded the trial of 2016, the today, 01/27/16, and so far, I do not feel the questions that everyone seemed to have. However, any questions I read everything, was posted October 2015 or earlier. I'm not finding any recent data. What I find the latter, are items that Microsoft has fixed stability problems.

    I have the Mac end of 2015 Macbook Pro 15 inch model running OS X El Capitan and I've just updated to 10.11.3.

    My question is - is there an improvement in version Mac 2016 Office since last year, where it would be useful to do? Or I regret buying and should save my money and try to find a Suite of Office 2011 Mac?

    I don't think it is. Where the reason why I use LibreOffice.

  • Problem, create a PDF file by dragging a doc on Acrobat file, after installing Office Mac 2016

    We have recently installed Office 2016 on a couple of Macs at work. We have XI of Acrobat Pro installed, and the other has the version of Creative Suite (Acrobat Pro DC) subscription. After you have installed Office 2016, we have two different problems when trying to create a PDF file from a doc or docx file by dragging the Word on Acrobat file (which we always used to do before, without any problems):

    1. on the computer with Acrobat Pro XI, drag the Acrobat doc file try to open Word 2016 with Acrobat, but then gives an error (cannot open Word) and the process stops. Do drag directly on doc file Word can open without error, and drag a PDF Acrobat file opens without error. We have tried to reinstall Microsoft Office and Acrobat and of course restarting the computer, but without success - the problem persists. Before installing Office 2016, the conversion would happen almost immediately, without the word being opened in the background.

    2. on computer 2, it's a different problem. The process works, but when you drag the file doc on Acrobat Pro DC, it begins to convert, but then he said that additional permissions are required to access the files (the way it gives looks like: private/var/folders/hn/vpyjby8d7r34y68chxfx9mpc0000gn/T/Acr175842024411136-91550.tmp) I have to then click on "Select" and grant access to the folder. It wouldn't be a problem if this were to be done once, but she does whenever I try to convert a doc in this way file (the path is always the same, but the .tmp file is always different). I thought it may be a permissions problem - do a read the information on file shows (/ T /) read & write access to me and "no access" for "everyone." I tried to settle temporarily "read and write" access to "everyone", but that did not help. Is there another way to give access to the applications in a folder without having to manually grant whenever an action?

    Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer a solution to these two problems!

    Integration between older versions of Acrobat (11 and earlier versions) and office 2016 will not be forthcoming. You need Acrobat DC for that integration. Sorry!

  • Outlook for Mac 2016 Question - not color the backgrounds of emails - no response from MS

    Can I add background color to an e-mail message in outlook 2016 for mac? As a solid green or yellow, for example? I can't in 2011 using the tab options. Which is available in 2016 to Outlook for Mac?

    No indication of support for MS and Google comes to nothing... Maybe some poor soul like me uses MS Outlook 2016 and knows.

    I'm still in 2011 (as part of 365) but have a client who pays me a lot of $$$ but is visually impaired and needs a dark background and a red font. Don't want to upgrade until I know the answer.

    Any response - mucho appreciated!
