Collectively tagged as „Microsoft 365 for Mac Apps,“ the company’s core Office productivity applications have been updated for Apple’s new ARM-based laptops.
Microsoft on Tuesday released native versions of its core Office productivity applications for Apple’s new ARM-based notebooks. Collectively tagged as Microsoft 365 for Mac Apps — formerly labeled Office 365 ProPlus — the flagship applications Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word have been updated so that they run on the Apple Silicon-powered MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac Mini without requiring translation. On systems powered by Apple’s new M1 system-on-a-chip, macOS 11 — aka Big Sur — uses the Rosetta 2 technology to run existing Intel-based applications.
