When will the 64-bit process be available?

When will the 64-bit process be available for my MacBook Pro. I need to update my Microsoft Word program. Any suggestions?

The current version of Office is 64-bit. It is available through an Office 365 subscription or as a one-time purchase. See: https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products-for-mac?ms.officeurl=mac-compare-redir


Also note that Office has been 64-bit for several years. See: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3187505/office-2016-for-mac-64-bit-upgrade


You can continue to run 32 bit programs until macOS Catalina is released this Fall and if you don't install Catalina then you can continue to run them beyond that.
