Whats the concensus on this now? Office 2016 working well on El Capitan 10.11.1? I was thinking to upgrade from Office 2011 - but have alot of projects on the go and don't want to lose time messing about with restores etc. Microsoft Office 2016 – Unmistakably Office, designed for Mac. The new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote provide the best of both worlds for Mac users – the familiar Office experience paired with the best of Mac. If you already use Office on a PC or iPad, you will find yourself right at home in Office 2016 for Mac. With the release of El Capitan (OS X 10.11) this week, some Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac users are reporting significant issues running the Mac version of Office on Apple's new OS. The Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan upgrade is available from the Self Service app in your Applications folder or Apple's App Store. For any questions on El Capitan or technical assistance with upgrading, please submit a request for assistance to the Partners IS Service Desk.
