Microsoft Office 2016 (codenamed Office 16) is a version of the Microsoft Officeproductivity suite, succeeding both Office 2013 and Office for Mac 2011, and preceding Office 2019 for both platforms. It was released on macOS on July 9, 2015 and on Microsoft Windows on September 22, 2015 for Office 365 subscribers.[5][9][10] Mainstream support ends on October 13, 2020, and most editions have extended support up to October 14, 2025.[11] The perpetually licensed version on macOS and Windows was released on September 22, 2015.[12] Since its successor Office 2019 only supports Windows 10 or Windows Server 2019,[13] this is the last version of Microsoft Office compatible with Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016.

New features[edit]

Windows[edit]

New features in the Windows release include the ability to create, open, edit, and save files in the cloud straight from the desktop, a new search tool for commands available in Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook and Access named 'Tell Me', more 'Send As' options in Word and PowerPoint, and co-authoring in real time with users connected to Office Online.[14][15][16] Other smaller features include Insights, a feature powered by Bing to provide contextual information from the web, a Designer sidebar in PowerPoint to optimize the layout of slides, new chart types and templates in Excel (such as treemap, sunburst chart (also known as a ring chart), waterfall chart, box plot and histogram, and financial and calendar templates), new animations in PowerPoint (such as the Morph transition), the ability to insert online video in OneNote, and a data loss prevention feature in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.[15][16]

Microsoft Office 2016 is the first in the series to support the vector graphic format SVG.

Microsoft Office 2016 cannot coexist with Microsoft Office 2013 apps, but it can coexist with earlier versions of Microsoft Office, such as 2003, 2007, and 2010.[17] Microsoft requires that any 2013 versions be uninstalled, which it will offer to do automatically, before the 2016 versions can be installed.[18]

Despite not supporting Windows XP anymore, tooltips for various ribbon items (e.g. Paragraph, Font, Footnotes or Page Setup) still show screenshots of Office on Windows XP.

Mac[edit]

New features in the Mac release include an updated user interface that uses ribbons, full support for Retina Display, and new sharing features for Office documents.[10][19]

In Word, there is a new Design tab, an Insights feature, which is powered by Bing, and real-time co-authoring. In Excel, there is a Recommended Charts feature, and PivotTable Slicers. In PowerPoint, there are theme variants, which provide different color schemes for a theme. In Outlook, there is a Propose New Time feature, the ability to see calendars side by side, and a weather forecast in the calendar view.[19]

Outlook 2016 for Mac has very limited support for synchronization of collaboration services outside basic email.[20]

With version 15.25, Office for Mac transitioned from 32-bit to 64-bit by default.[21] Users that require a 32-bit version for compatibility reasons will be able to download the 15.25 version as a manual, one-time update from the Microsoft Office website.[22] All versions following 15.25 will be 64-bit only.[22] Office for Mac received Touch Bar support in an update on February 16, 2017, following the launch of the 2016 MacBook Pro models.

Editions[edit]

Traditional editions[edit]

As with previous versions, Office 2016 is made available in several distinct editions aimed towards different markets. All traditional editions of Microsoft Office 2016 contain Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote and are licensed for use on one computer.[23][24]

Five traditional editions of Office 2016 were released for Windows:

  • Home & Student: This retail suite includes the core applications only.[23]
  • Home & Business: This retail suite includes the core applications and Outlook.[23]
  • Standard: This suite, only available through volume licensing channels, includes the core applications, as well as Outlook and Publisher.[25]
  • Professional: This retail suite includes the core applications, as well as Outlook, Publisher and Access.[23] It uses the Windows Installer method for offline installation.
  • Professional Plus: This suite, only available through volume licensing channels, includes the core applications, as well as Outlook, Publisher, Access and Skype for Business.[25] It uses the Click-to-Run method for online installation.

Three traditional editions of Office 2016 were released for Mac:

  • Home & Student: This retail suite includes the core applications only.[24]
  • Home & Business: This retail suite includes the core applications and Outlook.[24]
  • Standard: This suite, only available through volume licensing channels, includes the core applications and Outlook.[25]

Office 365[edit]

The Office 365 subscription services, which were previously aimed towards business and enterprise users, were expanded for Office 2016 to include new plans aimed at home use. The subscriptions allow use of the Office 2016 applications by multiple users using a software as a service model. Different plans are available for Office 365, some of which also include value-added services, such as 1 TB of OneDrive storage and 60 Skype minutes per month on the Home Premium plan.

Design[edit]

Microsoft publisher reader for mac

The user interface design of Office 2016 for Windows is relatively unchanged from its predecessor, Microsoft Office 2013. It retains the flat design that was introduced along with the Metro design language, albeit with a few modifications to the layout, in order to conform with the design of Microsoft Office Mobile.[26] When Office 2016 was released, it came with three themes. The default theme, known as 'colorful', features a solid color on the top band of the ribbon, corresponding to the color of the Office application being used, for example, a solid dark blue is featured prominently in Microsoft Word. The theme had been described as useful in making the tab headings more distinct.[27] In addition, both the 'white' and 'dark grey' themes from Office 2013 are available as well, though no new backgrounds have been added, nor have any existing backgrounds been removed.[27] A fourth 'black' theme was added as part of an update in January 2016.[28] The update was not released to users of the traditional editions.[16]

Criticism[edit]

On November 13, 2018, a report initiated by the Government of the Netherlands showed that Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 365 do not comply with the GDPR, the European statute on privacy.[29] Additionally, the Document Recovery feature of MS Word has not worked reliably since Office 2007.[citation needed]

Publisher For Mac Download

If you don't have Publisher, Microsoft’s desktop publishing program, and a business associate sends you a Microsoft Publisher file, you have several options for opening it: convert it into a PDF for easy viewing or a DOC format for editing. Another option is to download a free trial copy of Publisher to view and edit the file.

Converting With Web Tools

1.

Point your Internet browser to free online conversion websites such as Zamzar, BCL’s PDF Online or PublishertoPDF.com (links in Resources). There are several steps to converting a PUB file into something readable on each site.

2.

Click the 'Browse' or 'Choose File' button to begin uploading the PUB file to your chosen site's Web server.

3.

Fill in the remaining steps, including giving an email address. An email is sent to you when the conversion process is completed. All the sites allow you to change a PUB file to a PDF document. On Zamzar, you can also convert the PUB file into a DOC, RTF or TXT file.

4.

Click the 'Upload' button on the site you chose to finish moving the PUB file to the server. Converting the PUB can take a few minutes or several hours, depending on the complexity of the file and the demands on the server.

5.

Open your email to see the instructions on how to download the converted file. Download the file, and then double-click on the filename to open it.

Download Trial Software

Microsoft Publisher Reader Downloads

1.

Point your Web browser to Microsoft’s Publisher page (link in Resources), and then click the “Try Free for 60 Days” button.

2.

Fill in your Windows Live ID or click the “Create Your Account” button. Fill in the onscreen fields. If you are creating an account, provide your address and phone number. Follow the instruction on the site to download the software. Once downloaded, an installation wizard starts.

3.

Follow the installation wizard's instructions to install Publisher to your computer. Once installed, click your PUB file to open it in the trial version of Publisher, where you can both view and edit it.

Tip

  • As an alternative, ask the PUB file sender to convert the file in his Publisher program before he sends it. He can change the file to a PDF or XPS file within Publisher before he sends it to you. Another alternative is for him to send the file as an HTML file via email. This is only a usable option if you have an HTML-enabled email program. For either of these options, you will still only be able to view the file, but not edit its contents.
