Office for Mac running macOS Catalina
If you have Office 2011 for Mac or before WILL NOT run, For Catalina Office 2016 for Mac needs to be v15.35 or later.

Big Sur compatibility—Microsoft recently announced that it was officially ending support for Office 2016 for Mac on October 13, 2020. Apple Silicon compatibility in Office 2016 is questionable. Office 2019 no issues.
The current Office for Mac; Office 365 or Office 2019 (One-time purchase) are OK with Catalina/Big Sur
To activate a Microsoft Office 365 subscription you simply enter the email address you used when you extended the subscription with Microsoft.
