MICROSOFT OFFICE 2016 V15.14
[VOLUME LICENCED][NO ACTIVATION REQUIRED!]
MICROSOFT OFFICE MAC 2016 V15.14.0, GIVES YOU POWER AND FLEXIBILITY TO GET THINGS DONE VIRTUALLY FROM ANYWHERE. FIND THE RIGHT OFFICE FOR YOU.
Microsoft has announced the release of the preliminary version of the office suite Office 2016 for the Mac. The new Office for Mac is the first major upgrade package Microsoft Office applications on the platform OS X since the release version of Office 2011. The new version of the program includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook, and also brings a lot of new features, including support for high-resolution displays Retina and full-screen applications. The main focus of her made on standardization and better integration with cloud-based service OneDrive.
Office suite Office 2016 for Mac has inherited many elements from the version of Office for Windows, and mobile client applications Office, which debuted last year. Updates to the tape, which is a new arranges tools and formatting functions, completely redesigned user interface based on the latest functionality of computers Mac, new themes and styles. There is even a new design theme in the spirit of Yosemite, which to the best advantage of features such as support for full-screen applications, OS X.
System requirements:
- Mac computer with an Intel processor
- Mac OS X version 10.10
- Recommended 1 GB of RAM
- 5,62 GB of free hard disk space
- Hard disk formatting such as HFS + (also known as Mac OS Extended or HFS Plus)
- A monitor with 1280×800 resolution or higher
- Recommended Safari 7
Essentially, Office 2016 brings the Mac version up to the same level as the Windows release, both in terms of the user interface and features. So, you’re getting a redesigned ribbon toolbar that looks far cleaner and which makes it a little easier to find what you’re looking for.
I’ve never been a big fan of the ribbon in the Windows version. You still have to do far too much hunting around for features you know exist but can’t locate – and on the Mac, there’s still the issue that it looks a little out of place. But I’m certain that I’ll get used to it over time; there’s absolutely no doubt that it’s a huge improvement on the old version.
Critically, Microsoft’s office suite no longer looks like it fell out of the 1980s, with full support for Retina screens and a look that’s consistent across all the key applications. With Office 2016, OS X users finally have a modern office suite that looks the part.
More specifically, the apps have a brighter look overall than before. If you choose the “colorful” option during setup, the area above the ribbon toolbar in each app will match each application’s signature colour: green for Excel, dark blue for Word, red for PowerPoint, light blue for Outlook and purple for OneNote.

But despite that, there’s a pleasing sense of minimalism at work here. The ribbon, as well as being reorganised, takes up less space than before, and the menus have a flatter, more modern appearance. And now that the icons are less packed together and have been redesigned, everything looks less cluttered than before.
Multitouch and OneDrive support
Office 2016 for Mac is about more than just looks, however. There’s improved support for multitouch touchpad gestures, for instance: you can now pinch to zoom in to documents, presentations and spreadsheets – to focus in on a detail or to get an overview – and scrolling and zooming animations are smoother as well.
On that front, at least, Office for 2016 is superior to the Windows version. In fact, Windows as a whole has never quite got to grips with seamless, responsive touchpad gestures in the way that OS X has.
And there are some other, small differences between Office on the Mac that contribute to a superior overall experience to the Windows version. The main one is that the confusingly muddled File menu, dubbed Backstage by Microsoft – in which the entire application window is hijacked by the Save, Open, Print preview and Settings menus – is not in evidence here.
For me, that’s a good thing. Backstage has always felt jarring, in the way it rides roughshod over OS paradigms established following years of careful development. Why should Office have a completely different way of opening and saving files to every other application on the platform? It may be the future, but it isn’t one that I’m particularly fond of.
Here, thankfully, files are opened and saved using a much simpler dialog box. In my opinion it feels much less befuddling, and it manages to integrate Microsoft’s cloud storage system, OneDrive, at least as well as Backstage does. It could do with a search box, though – and, disappointingly, there’s no third-party cloud integration as yet. So no Dropbox or Google Drive.
The big question is, for those who have moved away to other offerings, is there enough in the latest version to justify subscribing? The answer is that it depends on your outlook (if you’ll pardon the pun). There’s no doubt that Office 2016 for Mac is a huge improvement. It looks more attractive, it’s easier to use than before and has more features than ever before.
But if you’re not interested in the latest UI gewgaws and a handful of features that may or may not be of use, then you’re better off sticking to what you have. Google Docs most certainly does the collaboration bit better, while iWork covers most basic needs perfectly adequately.
