Microsoft 365 - What's it like on a Mac?

This is video one in our 3-part series where we look at what it's like to use Microsoft 365 on different devices. Today we look at Microsoft 365 running on macOS.

This is an overview of what you can expect - if you'd like to see a more detailed look at different apps, let us know in the comments!

The most downsides are "Find related messages" on outlook and the magic of the "alt"key that makes keyboard shortcuts so useful on every app specially excel, you could send an excel report by email in less than 10 seconds using few keys

I am pretty sure Excel misses some formulae and features on Mac.

Great review. Thank you. The deal breaker for me is the inability to insert or attach files to emails. It does allow me to attach an existing email to an email I am drafting, but no other files. All of which I can do with the Windows version. Am I wrong on this?

I tried VBA in Excel on mac. i created some VBA code and ran it but it found a bug. I ran the same code on a windows 10 machine in Excel and it worked beautifully. Not sure as to why this is, all references are the same, layout, etc. Kinda sucks.

Seriously? Word for Mac is much more limited than that. For example, you can't move headings around in the Navigator pane. That means it's useless for organising document structure. Word for Mac is so bad that I am going to sell my new Macbook Air and go back to a Windows laptop. Also, window management in MacOS is a joke.

I couldn't get small things like default calendar duration times to change. Other things too. the preference option sections seems very light unless im missing something

I have a MacBook Air and having problems with the MS 365 word application when it comes to exporting a pages document into word and then being able to use the editor. Even though I have English selected, it wants to underline every word and check the document in Italian. When I create a document directly into word on my Mac, I have no issue it’s only when I export out of pages into word that the volcano erupts.

How about macro in the excel? It works well?

[solitairemorales]

I have word but there in an embedded PDF so if i try and click it I get an error they say its due to having a mac but I cant find out why

[sbasuroy]

Would have been good to get a bit more detail re formula compatibility in excel

"I'm a Microsoft 365 expert, but I don't know how to use Excel"...🙄

Any chance you know why my Outlook emails on a Mac have long white spaces between messages and replies? I have to scroll down a lot before seeing the rest of the content. Is there a fix?

[yemimavirdiningtyas]

hi, thank you for the video. I'm new to Mac, with Ms Outlook can you copy an email and put it as an attachment to new email? Say I want to attached two emails from previous to new email. I can do it just copy and paste in Windows but not in Mac. Thank you.

I have subscription for MS Office for Windows for 5 users. Can I use one of those licences for Mac?

[hamid]

Which one has excellentt security? I mean which one is more safe ?

[keeloraz]

Wanted to see formula difference, shortcuts, vba

I have a MacBook Air and an active Microsoft 365 subscription but suddenly I was been asked to renew when there is still time before my subscription expires. Apple isn’t able to help me in this neither is Microsoft team. Now the apps are working just fine on my I phone but on MacBook it stopped. What can be the issue? It’s the same Apple ID . I am facing loads of issues since long, if anyone has experienced this please share how to solve this issue

But funny enough. Office 365 looks better and tuned for MAC than for Windows PCs

I am finding that Outlook has material differences where you cannot customize the lists on Mac that I can do on Windows. For example, the contacts / people. Am I missing something? Perhaps I need to a destined Office 365 Outlook analysis.

How well does Outlook work on the Mac? Can I use it to access my existing iCloud email, will all the folders be there with all the emails in the right places?

Also, can I add my iCloud email and a couple of other accounts, one via an ISP and some gmail accounts?
