Seeing these posts, I wonder what kind of work MR posters do. I unfortunately produce documents that may be sent to others to edit. I have to often make presentations on someone else's conference room computer which is not often a Mac. If you live and work in an insular world where you don't have to interact with other businesses or non-Mac users then maybe these alternatives are possible. For me, not using Office would be such a pain in the ass that regardless of how poor the software is, I have to use it because it is THE business document format. Lol only on this forum would meaningless hate-for-non-Apple-company be so popular. I'm a huge user of Apple products, but have you tried to use Numbers?

For students and families who want classic Office apps installed on one Windows 10 PC or Mac for use at home or school. Classic versions of Office apps including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

I know they're re-adding functionality over time, but to use it now for anything even remotely professional is a waste of time. In this case you get what you pay for. Save your breath.

In order to score as many 'fanboy brownie points' as possible, some posters will slash anything Microsoft, Google, Samsung and Android at every possible opportunity. Professional haters:rolleyes.

Microsoft Office 2016 for the Mac is the kind of upgrade I hope for but rarely get. It took five years from Office 2011's release to get this latest Mac office suite, but it was well worth the wait. Almost everything is improved, with a bright, spacious interface, yet the learning curve is almost flat. That's because all of the suite's essential features work as they always did, though with added options and conveniences. There's nothing so startlingly new that it will get in the way of. In August 2016, Microsoft released an automatic update that replaced the old 32-bit code of Office for the Mac with 64-bit code. The 64-bit version starts up faster, but otherwise it looks and acts like the earlier code, which was already an Editors' Choice for office suites.

Payment Options Microsoft managed to make using Office for the Mac easy for anyone familiar with Office for Windows, while also integrating it more closely than ever into the OS X ecosystem. Subscribers can download Office 2016 for as little as $6.99 per month for one license, or $69.99 per year. If you prefer the traditional buy-once-use-forever model, Office Home and Business will run you $229.99 for one license.

A stripped-down Office Home and Student is also available for a $149.99 one-time fee. The main difference in Home and Student is that it does not include Outlook or Access.

If you can't afford even the $6.99 per month, you might try the free, but you'll be sacrificing some polish and capabilities by doing so. Improved Everything Office 2016 looks and acts better than Office 2011—and it closely resembles. The ribbon interface is redesigned, with the same flat look as the Windows version and the Office mobile apps. The Mac version features a modern task-pane interface for selecting text styles, building formulas, and similar features. Long-term Windows users will rejoice that Windows key assignments, such as Ctrl-O for Open and Ctrl-F for Find, now also work in the Mac version. Gmail setting for outlook 2011 mac.
