Introduction: How to Install Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac for Free
Microsoft has put out the free download of Office 2016 for Mac public preview, without any Office 365 subscription required. The new software includes support for Retina displays, iCloud syncing, and looks like the versions of Office currently available on Windows and mobile.
You can begin the free download here.
Step 1: Download the Install
Once you download the 2.6GB file to your downloads folder, click on the Office Preview Package to get started. You will be guided through the necessary steps to install this software.
Tip: I had to upgrade my OS X because you can't install Office for Mac with any version of OS X below 10.10. To see my tutorial on how to upgrade your OS X go here.
I also had some internet interruptions on my initial download to my downloads folder and had a hard time opening the package because it did not download the full 2.6GB. Make sure that you fully downloaded the package.
Step 2: Read and Agree to Licensing Agreement
The software license agreement comes in many languages, this one in English. Once you read the agreement, you will have scrolled to the bottom. Click continue to agree.
Step 3: Agree to the License Agreement to Begin Installation
You will then be prompted to agree. Once you do you will select what users of your computer will have access to the software to select the destination for install. You will need 5.62GB of free space to install. Select and click continue.

Windows10 for mac. Apple users are about to get some of the new features and functionality on their Mac that PC users have been enjoying in Microsoft's Office 365 office productivity suite – plus a few special Mac-only features.
Microsoft is now offering the Office 2016 preview as a free download with no Office 365 subscription required. When the software is ready for launch, it will be available at no cost to existing Office 365 customers. Office 365 is Microsoft's subscription model for its Office suite, which includes updates, a license for multiple devices and 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage.
'Similar to our recent announcements of universal Office apps for Windows 10 and Office for Android tablet, Office 2016 for Mac shares an unmistakably Office experience–but it is also thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the unique features of the Mac,' said Kirk Koenigsbauer, corporate vice-president for Microsoft's Office 365 Client Apps and Services team, in a blog post. 'The new apps offer full retina display support with thousands of retina-optimized graphics, full screen view for native immersive experiences, and even little Mac affordances like scroll bounce.'
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook have all been update for Office 2016 for Mac, with a modernized user experience and an updated version of Office's now ubiquitous feature ribbon, as well as a refreshed task pane and new themes and styles for those that like to work with templates.
Among the updates by product:
- Word has a new design tab for managing layout colours and fonts across a document, the navigation helps refine document structure and threaded comments allow for a more collaborative editing process.
- Excel features enhancements to charts and graphs, mew keyboard shortcuts and data entry features such as formula builder and autocomplete, and support for Excel 2013 for sharing of files between Mac and Windows. A new Analysis toolpack also offers a diverse array of common statistical functions.
- PowerPoint has a new presenter view that lets you see your notes, the next slide and a timer on your Mac while only projecting the presentation slide to the big screen.
- Outlook now features push mail support, an improved conversation view with threading and a beefier preview so you can decide if you really want or need to open that message.
- OneNote also features a user interface updated for the modern Mac.
