Office upgrade problem

Upgraded to OS 15.3, Office 14.7.2 won't work. MS trying to force me to 365 purchase/Cloud, etc. How can I update to Office 16 instead?

Microsoft does not offer a free update from Office 2011 to 2016 or later.


If you have Office for Mac 2011 or earlier, you can either subscribe to Office 365 or you can make a one-time purchase. See: https://products.office.com/en-us/buy/compare-microsoft-office-products-for-mac?ms.officeurl=mac-compare-redir


Or the free Microsoft Office on the web: https://products.office.com/en-us/free-office-online-for-the-web


Or Google Docs: https://www.google.com/docs/about/


Other options include using the free and very good Libre Office https://www.libreoffice.org/


or Apple's Pages and Numbers
