And it should be noted that it’s unlikely you’ll see support for these features in any future versions of Office, as, according to Microsoft, Yosemite’s autosave feature and OneDrive don’t play well together. Office now supports Yosemite’s native full-screen mode, but does not support Yosemite’s native auto-save features nor does it support renaming, moving, tagging, or locking documents using the document title bar. The aim of this feature is to help eliminate that public perception by proactively responding to reported issues. He acknowledged that there is a public perception that any feedback of this sort gets sent directly to the bit bucket, but he assured me that he sees “telemetry reports” from these submissions on a daily basis. True story: The Microsoft rep I spoke with said that this feature is no joke. It’s designed to let you tell Microsoft about the things you do or don’t love about a particular product. According to the rep I spoke with, this isn’t a beta-only feature that will disappear once the product ships. Microsoft has also added a new “Help Improve Office?” button to the ribbon, which you can use to send feedback. If you want a little more workspace, the ribbon can be hidden with a single click on the currently active tab or by clicking a small arrow appearing at the ribbon’s far right side. The feedback form isn’t going to disappear in the final release.

Looking at the Windows and Mac versions side-by-side I’d say that’s accurate, although, to my somewhat biased eye, Office 2016 is easier on the eyes.
To that end, Microsoft has updated the “ribbon,” that tabbed toolbar running across the top of every Office document, so it looks like Office 2013 for Windows, and according to Microsoft, the user interface is now the same across all versions. All the apps designed to work with Microsoft’s OneDrive services, including OneDrive for Business and private SharePoints, and are optimized for retina displays.Īccording to Microsoft, Office 2016 is designed to unify the look and feel of the applications across all platforms, so that no matter where you use Office-Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Web-the way you work remains the same. The suite requires that your Mac is running Yosemite and, while the interface remains familiar, every application has a softer Yosemite-like look and feel.
The Office 2016 Preview updates all five apps in Microsoft’s office suite: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook. Save it for the review, pal! I know who you are…) (Hey you! Yeah, you! I see your finger poised over the comments section ready to chew me out for schilling for Microsoft.

So, while I’ll take a deep dive First Look at the Office for Mac 2016 Preview, I’ll save any critical assessments for the final release. This is a Preview (née beta) release and, thus, this is not a review. The ribbon does a great job of unifying the Office experience across platforms.
