Microsoft Word For Mac Mac 64 Bit Upgrade

With today’s update, Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote are all 64-bit. With that upgrade, all of the apps have improved performance and stability, according to Microsoft. The company also says that 64-bit runtime enables “new innovative features.” While 64-bit runtime has been available for members of Microsoft’s “Office Insider” beta testers for a while now, this marks the first time that 64-bit is available to all users of the productivity suite. Microsoft notes that Office users who rely on add-ins while need to ensure that the add-ins are updated to support the 64-bit environment, which requires an update from the add-in developers. Those developers, however, have had the entire 64-bit beta period to make that change.

Customers who don’t use add-ins are unaffected. Apple back in 2013 after years of being exclusively 32-bit. Microsoft Office is for Mac as either a one-time purchase or with an Office 365 subscription.

The former option runs $149.99, while the latter runs $69.99 per year at its lowest tier.

Is the newest Office for MAC download version running natively as a 64-bit program? Or is it still 32-bit software that just happens to run on 64-bit operating systems? There is a big difference in speed.

Microsoft today release a new update for its Office 2016 for Mac apps, introducing small performance improvements, bug fixes, and 64-bit support across the Office lineup.

I think from searching online that it is still 32 bit software that has a version that runs on 64 bit computers. So still a slower version. But hard to tell. I called Microsoft sales, tech support, and tried two chat sessions with Microsoft but none of the Microsoft people speak English well enough to understand the question. Microsoft product support people are generally oblivious to Macintosh vs Windows.

Unfortunately, they try to impress by offering suggestions based on what they know about Microsoft Office for Windows and hope against hope that what they know also applies to Office for Mac. Most of the time that actually works OK, but for any technical stuff they simply don't have a clue and are too egotistic to tell you they don't know and could get back to you. Yes, I am sure that right now Office 2016 for Mac is 32-bit. You can find ways on line to actually verify this for yourself. If you want to be the first to get the 64-bit version when it comes out, in AutoUpdate click the box and join the 'insider' program. Personally, I am thinking it might be something that happens sooner rather than later.
