Whats the concensus on this now? Office 2016 working well on El Capitan 10.11.1? I was thinking to upgrade from Office 2011 - but have alot of projects on the go and don't want to lose time messing about with restores etc. OFFICE 2016 and El Capitan are totally unusable together. 2011 OFFICE is fine. I just deleted 2016 OFFICE and reinstalled 2011. I was plagued with constant crashes on opening files in the entire suite of programs, saving files and printing files but 2011 OFFICE works just fine. It is kinda annoying but not the end of the world. The newest version of Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac will have some users pulling their hair out, however, as those who have upgraded to El Capitan have reported frequent crashes, according to PCWorld. Microsoft Office 2016 – Unmistakably Office, designed for Mac. The new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote provide the best of both worlds for Mac users – the familiar Office experience paired with the best of Mac. If you already use Office on a PC or iPad, you will find yourself right at home in Office 2016 for Mac. Office 2016 works fine on the GM. However, Outlook 2011 crashes on launch just like it did on the betas. My company hasn't updated their exchange servers to 2010 or newer so I can't use office 2016! I am using Outlook for Windows under Parallels and that works great but not a good solution for the MacBook 12-inch as it uses a lot of resources.
