Meanwhile, just notice the install takes up 6.78GB of space on your computer.īefore you start the install, then, make sure you have that much disk space!Ī click on “Install”, a few additional clicks to accept a user license that you’re not going to read (we don’t!) and…Ĭlick “Close” and you’ll have Word 2016 launch, but with a few informational windows along the way, starting with this highlight of updated features and capabilities:Ĭlick on “Get started >” to proceed and Office actually starts up: It’s slightly disappointing that there’s no way to pick and choose which of the Microsoft Office 2016 tools you want to install - in your case, perhaps just Word, in our case, everything but Outlook - but that’s something that can hopefully be tweaked after installation. Let’s look at one thing, however: disk space required. If you’ve used the Mac for any length of time, you’re already familiar with this process. Once downloaded, the installer should pop right up and start: I found this download to move pretty quickly, but depending on connectivity, it might take you a few minutes to get the entire package. Sounds good! A click on “Install” and it’ll download the Office Installer: You can see that since I am already on a MacBook Pro, it’s default selected “Office 2016 for Mac” as the version to install. So impressive!īut let’s stay focused on the Mac side. Very nice improvement over the Mac license as completely separate from a Windows license.

To get started with the download, you can log in to the Office 365 site after you’ve received your license key (either from Amazon,, or from purchasing a license at the local retail store). That’s my disclosure too, in case you’re wondering. We were lucky here at AskDaveTaylor in that Microsoft sent us along a license key for testing and review purposes. Unlike previous years when it was priced at almost $500 for the entire suite of programs, Microsoft’s apparently rethought its pricing strategy too and you can get everything for $150 in the Home & Student download edition through, for example,.

The entire Microsoft Office 2016 suite for Mac includes Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Word and Outlook, though it sounds like you might only be looking for the word processor piece of that (Microsoft Word).
In fact, it’s a cross-platform release and is new for Windows systems too, along with iPad, Android and Windows tablet support and a completely different way of working with OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage system (that competes with iCloud, Apple’s cloud storage system). You’re correct that Microsoft has just released a completely new, completely redesigned version of its flagship product, Microsoft Office, for Mac systems.
