Microsoft Admits Office Crashes On ‘El Capitan’, No Fix Yet

Microsoft released an Office 2016 update on September 23 to address the incompatibility issues with El Capitan, but the issues have persisted. Indeed, this new variation of OS brings with it enhanced features of the much admirable Apple work for years.

An extensive thread that came from Microsoft’s Office for Mac support forum and a reporter’s own encounter with El Capitan indicate that there are problems with the newly-released operating system and it seems to affect Outlook, Word and Excel. “We are working on a fix for 2011, and for 2016, we are working closely with Apple to resolve this issue as soon as possible”, he said. “Unfortunately we do not have any timelines for either fix, please stay tuned and thank you for your understanding”.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s Office 2016 seems to be giving different kind of problems to the customers who are using it. For instance, some users see crashes only occasionally while some others were not able to open the Office 2016 tools at all.

During the beta testing period, crashes, as well as, issues in respect of Office 2016 were revealed, and they are remaining without any solution.

However, if you’re one of the many still running the older Office 2011 for Mac, you’re out of luck as Microsoft’s last-gen productivity apps aren’t supported for Split View. Users should download it for the 13 must be discovered tricks. We were quoted 3.5 hours initially but the actual process shaved two hours off that time.

El Capitan builds on the groundbreaking features and amazing design of OS X Yosemite, refining the Mac experience with updates to window management, built-in apps and Spotlight search, and performance improvements to make everyday activities – like launching and switching apps, opening PDFs and accessing email – faster and more responsive.

Chrome or Firefox users are familiar with the said feature. Other users claim that the problems with the apps were already happening in the earlier releases of El Capitan. As of late Friday, the thread had logged nearly 21,000 views and contained more than 200 messages, both extremely high numbers for the forum dedicated to Office for Mac 2016.
