Don't waste your time & money on this upgrade.
Just finished returning the two Home & Business licenses I purchased. Thank goodness for Amazon's easy return policy. I figured I'd upgrade to this new Office Mac 2016 because,well they have not released a version for the Mac in 5 years. What could go wrong, I reasoned. They've had 5 years to work on this new version, It must be significantly better, right? WRONG. Its not better, in fact, its way worse. Why? THEY GOT RID OF THE RIBBON CUSTOMIZATION! What in the world were they thinking? And if thats not bad enough, there are very few options provided on the ribbon now. So they took away a bunch of functionality and provided you with NO WAY to put it back. Here's an example of why this is so bad: In outlook, I hate the preview pane so I turn it off. No problem, you can do that in the new version too. But once the preview pane is gone there is now no way to go to next/previous message. That's right, those little up/down arrows in the upper right corner of the 2011 version - gone now with now way to put them back. So now I have to close the current message and click on the next. Not efficient at all, not to mention very annoying. Thankfully, the uninstall of Office 2016 is easy, and it did not wipe out my Office 2011, so I'm back in business with the older version. But shame on you Microsoft, you managed to screw up the only MS product I care about ( or used to care about).
