Office 2016 for Mac allows users to access files across all their devices running Office by signing in with their Office sign-in credentials. The suite includes full support for retina displays and is built to be 'cloud connected,' so it's tightly integrated with OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint and Office 365. The updated Mac suite includes a newly designed Ribbon that's similar in formatting and organization to the Office for Windows Ribbon.

Microsoft's goal with Office 2016 for Mac is to make it look and feel more like Office for Windows (and other Office suite flavors), while not losing the styling that makes the suite feel like it's built for Mac OS X, said Eric Wilfrid, director of Office product marketing. (The Windows version has been in private testing for several months.) Officials said they'd have more news to share soon about opening up the Office 2016 for Windows suite publicly. That's likely to be several months ahead of the Office 2016 for Windows release in the second half of 2015. The final preview build will continue to function for roughly a month after Office 2016 for Mac becomes generally available, sometime this summer, officials said. Every new preview build will expire roughly 60 days after it's posted.

Microsoft plans to deliver regular updates to the preview, and will let testers know via a notification from the Office for Mac Auto-Update tool. The Office for Mac 2016 preview is available for download from Microsoft's preview site, and can be run alongside Office for Mac 2011. On Thursday, the company is delivering refreshed public previews of those two apps in addition to the first public previews of the 2016 versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and is making all five apps available to anyone running Yosemite (Mac OS 10.10). Microsoft already has updated OneNote and Outlook (available in limited preview form) available for the Mac. Microsoft says its goal is to make the software look and feel more like Office for Windows, while not losing the styling that makes the suite feel like it's built for Mac OS X.ДЇive years after rolling out Office 2011 for Mac, Microsoft has made a first public preview of its successor, Office 2016 for Mac, available to testers for download.
