    MS Office 2016 for Mac works the way I expected and for the most part like it does on Windows. I primarily use it for Excel and Outlook, and have been pleased have not experienced any problems.

    I needed Microsoft Office for Mac for my Mac, and this version contains Outlook for Mac. Outlook for Mac is a great mail program, especially if one is used to using Outlook. You have to pay quite a premium to get a version of Office for Mac that includes Outlook, though.

    Had issues downloading the initial dmg file. Had to call Microsoft to get them to give me a different download link that I was able download the installer from. I guess the Microsoft servers are too busy this time of year. I was getting a message about "Sorry this is taking so long". Once downloaded the software installed fine and works fine.

    I decided on this product because of Outlook. I had heard that some Mac users were having compatibility issues and that was of great concern for me as I am a new Mac user as of a few months ago. So far, no issues and everything works great. I really appreciate Best Buy's price match. I would recommend this product

    I am along time user of Office on a PC, and was worried about how it would be on a Mac. No worries...it is just the same as I have always used.

    Microsoft is Microsoft

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Microsoft is one of the those things that you can't write a whole lot of negative stuff on. The software runs fine and there are no problems, yet. However, getting the actual program is way better than using OneDrive or Microsoft online. The program is more easily accessible and there are hardly any "bugs". The online stuff has a lot of "bugs" and after a while I just get tired and frustrated with it. I have to use it for school . So I am stuck with it. The actual program is way better. Other wise it works as intended.

    Works well except for Outlook Email

    Coming from PC to Apple Mac, all my previous emails were in Outlook. Outlook with this program on a MacBook puts emails into a .msg format and my years of previous emails would not open - completely useless. I had to purchase MSG viewer for $15 just to see previous emails. Excel and Word seem great.

    I purchased this verses the yearly renewal version because I have previously had the yearly renewable and had nothing but trouble. And the customer service was terrible. This way I own it, it works, and I do not have it is much more cost effective if you do the math.

    New Outlook Delivers, Excel Poorly Performs

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    If MS Outlook is important to your business, then Microsoft finally delivers a rock solid version for Mac. If you work with a lot of Excel spreadsheets, keep your older version of MS Office for Mac, because Excel still has some very basic bugs to work out.

    Microsoft Office is the de facto standard and the suite has only gotten better. Arrived 2 days early (+ to Best Buy). Enter product key, download and install. Piece of cake and you are up and running. I love Outlook so was waiting for Home & Business 2016!

    Office for Apple computers is an absolute must. And this go around is even better than the last. Easy to install, easy to use and a must if you use you Mac's for anything. Business/school related.

    I really enjoy having Microsoft Office for Mac on my laptop. Having Outlook really works well with having Comcast as my carrier for emails. Even in remote areas I pick up my emails on the go and I have this on my Apple Mac large screen. If you are a fan of Microsoft Office and have an Apple product you will love this product.
