Microsoft to release preview version of Office 2021 for Mac, Office LTSC
American multinational technology conglomerate Microsoft will be
releasing a preview version of its upcoming Office 2021 for the Mac and Office
LTSC this week.
According to The Verge, while Office LTSC (Long-Term Servicing
Channel) will be designed for commercial customers, both versions will be
perpetual versions of Office that won't rely on subscriptions or the cloud.
Microsoft had
announced its plans for Office 2021 back in February, and a Windows version as
well, which won't be available in preview, but will be released later this
year.
Office 2021 for Mac will support both Apple Silicon and
Intel-based Macs and will require at least 4GB of RAM and 10GB of storage
space. It's designed to be a static release of Office, but during the preview,
there will be monthly updates that could include new features. Once Office 2021
for Mac is final and released, no new features will be added.
Its current improvements include:
- Line Focus, this feature removes distractions to let Word users
move through a document line by line.
- XLOOKUP, an Excel feature that lets you find things in a table
or range by row.
- Dynamic array support in Excel, which has new functions for
dynamic arrays in spreadsheets.
- Record a slide show with narration in PowerPoint.
As per The Verge', Microsoft's Office LTSC variant will also
include things like dark mode support, accessibility improvements, and the same
Dynamic Arrays and XLOOKUP features found in Excel 2021 for Mac. Office 2021
for Windows will include similar features.
