The difference is that Office 365 users get new and updated features while Office 2019 is fixed and doesn’t get updated features. That means both Office 365 for Mac and Office 2019 for Mac users share common code.

These customers moved to the same code base as Office 2019 for Mac. The code base for the product changed depending on the version of MacOS being used. What happened back in September 2018?īack in September 2018 there was a mostly hidden switch in Office 365 for Mac software. But no updates, because those updates need the more recent Mac OS. If your computer has 10.11 (El Capitan) or earlier, Office 365 for Mac will still work and get Microsoft’s mainstream support. The ‘subscription’ Office 365 for Mac available now needs the MacOS released in the last two years. Office 365 for Mac needs Mojave, Sierra or High Sierra In short: Office 365 for Mac gives you the latest features and updates if you have the latest MacOS (Mojave 10.14) or the two before (10.13 High Sierra or 10.12 Sierra). The situation appears confusing, so we’ll try to break it down for you. Microsoft has a blog post might be accurate, but it doesn’t exactly shine with clarity. Some Office 365 for Mac users might not be getting the latest and greatest features. Office 365 for Mac users might well be confused about compatibility with their MacOS. Don’t be put off: they still work correctly.Thanks for joining us! You'll get a welcome message in a few moments. The only remaining glitch is that Sierra 10.12 often shows folder aliases as if they were documents. You may also find that, once an old app has accessed your iCloud Drive via aliases, it then decides to add iCloud Drive to your list of favourites! With those aliases in place in Documents, you can now open and save to files on your iCloud Drive in Office 2011 and most other older apps, just as if the aliased folder was on your internal drive. Move that alias into your local Documents folder: because that will remove the alias from iCloud Drive, you’ll see a warning that the aliases will be deleted. Select each, and use the contextual menu (or any other method) to make an alias to the folder. Let’s say we have two folders in our iCloud Drive named Excel and Word, to contain documents shared with other Macs or iOS devices using the same iCloud account. Sierra’s file open and save dialogs should include your iCloud Drive in the list of favourites on the left (as shown above), but Office 2011 and many other older apps may not give direct access to files in your iCloud Drive. This is not a heart-warming experience, but it gets by.

However, the cursor keys do function normally, so you can use them to traverse folders and files.

Negotiating file open and save dialogs in Office 2011 apps running under Sierra is kludgy: trackpad controls move the pointer, but the pointer doesn’t let you navigate the folder and file view within the dialog. But you have to pay the subscription to Microsoft, as well as paying Apple for your iCloud storage.

Couple them with the iOS versions, and you can use iCloud for all your shared Office tasks. If you fancy paying a monthly subscription and upgrading to Office 365, its component apps do work well now with iCloud Drive. There are plenty of apps, like Microsoft Word 2011 and the other components of Office 2011, which work quite well still in Sierra, but whose file open and save dialogs don’t work properly, and which don’t give access to iCloud Drive.
