Note about Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac

by | Aug 13, 2015 | Teaching and Learning

Microsoft has released it’s Office 2016 for Mac. It requires Mac OS X 10.10 (also called “Yosemite”). For the Fall 2015 semester, the University of Richmond will be supporting and using Office 2011 in classrooms and on faculty/staff computers. UR’s Information Services does not recommend installing Office 2016 on your home computer at this time. Testing has found several problems importing existing data (like e-mail from Outlook 2011), templates (like used in PowerPoint) and user settings.
