Apple has announced that Microsoft Office 365 for the first time is available on the Mac App Store, thus making it easier for Mac users to download Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and the whole suite of Microsoft’s popular apps. Users can also purchase a subscription for Office 365 from within the apps.
Office 365 for Mac has been designed specifically for Mac to support features like Dark Mode and Continuity Camera in macOS, as well as the MacBook Pro Touch Bar and Mac’s Trackpad. With Office 365 on the Mac App Store, these apps can now be easily distributed to employees using Apple Business Manager. Office 365 provides experiences tailored to the Mac and macOS including OneDrive Files on Demand support on the MacBook Pro. And it’s connected to the cloud, so you can access your content from any device.
