14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently rolled out an update for the preview version of Office aimed at Mac computers, so insiders are recommended to update the software as soon as possible.
Version 15.20 doesn’t bring too many changes, but they’re still worth having, especially because the release notes also include fixes and stability improvements.
First and foremost, this new build comes with right-to-left language support, which means that Office 2016 for Mac now works with Arabic and Hebrew and offers both right-to-left layout and editing.
At the same time, the update brings better authoring and formatting, with Microsoft explaining that Outlook now offers more options when drafting messages, such as more fonts, colors, and list styles. Users are also allowed to insert links, edit photos, and enable AutoCorrect.
And last but not least, the new Office version brings archiving and de-cluttering options on Macs.
“Use the new Archive button on the ribbon to instantly move items stored in your Inbox or any other folder to an archive folder. The archived items remain accessible and can easily be restored to their original location,” Microsoft explains.
Keep in mind that this new release is exclusively addressed to members of the Office Insider program, so you won’t be able to install it on a stable computer. If you want to join the program, Microsoft has a list of instructions to get you started.
