I have just updated my Microsoft Office apps to version 16.61, and when I want to open Word documents from Outlook there is a pop-up saying Grant File Access --> additional permissions are required to access the following files. Previously there are no issues when opening documents from Outlook, only after updating the OS and Word did this occur.
I am running Big Sur on a Macbook Pro 13 M1.
Thanks in advance for the replies!
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.
Microsoft 365 for Mac apps that run natively on Macs with M1.

The current Office for Mac; Office 365 or Office 2019 (One-time purchase) are OK with Catalina/Big Sur/Monterey
To activate a Microsoft Office 365 subscription you simply enter the email address you used when you extended the subscription with Microsoft.
