can I get a new MS office suit 64 Bit that is compatable with MacOS Catalina version 10.15.7

can I get a new MS office suit 64 Bit that is compatable with MacOS Catalina version 10.15.7 ?

when I switched to Catalina my MS office, excel , word and powerpoint no longer would open or work. They each had a circle with a line through it covering the app. What do I have to do to upgrade to a 64 bit version that will work with Catalina?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

That would depend on exactly what version of Office you have.


Microsoft offers an update for Office 2016 to be 64 bit, you can apply for free.

If you are running an earlier version than that, then you would need to purchase a newer version of Office from Microsoft that works on Catalina.
