Office 2016 is not working after updating to Sierra

Microsoft seems to be aware of the problem and is recommending those using Office for work not upgrade to Sierra. Great! But too late for me. They offer a workaround by turning off Autoupdate but mine was already off. Anybody found a fix yet?

This is old news. Microsoft has since updated the Office suite.

Do you have a link available to the office update?

If you are running Office 16 for Mac you can run the supplied Microsoft AutoUpdate app which will find and install the latest versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. It is located in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0. You can also just launch any of the Office apps and under Help select Check for Updates. This will launch the Microsoft AutoUpdate app too.

It works bro

thank you for solution

I have exact the same problem. But only when I want to print. I am using a Xerox printer Phaser 8560. They also haven't made drivers for OS Sierra.

Word and Excel close and give me the message you get, but after a while my papers come out of my printer.

I have to re-open word or excel and everything is OK.

But clearly the problem lies with office ! I am using a license for 5 mac's office and I pay every year !

They better fix this !!

Try reinstalling it. It'll be like you are getting it new for macOS Sierra.

Should I be worried that I don't have anything called 'managed preferences'?

Yes, I have had issues with Excel in particular not working properly anymore. I am now on 11.01 for OS and it is just worse.

I installed new IOS update and got a message saying my outlook is out of date. Now How do i update this as I cannot access it?

Are you talking about an iPhone or an iPad (devices that use IOS) or a Mac (which does not)

Microsoft support very helpful. I don't laced newest version and resolved the issue immediately. Shame Apple creates these problems.

Blaming another for ones own failings is depressingly common these days.

Thank you. And actually, Apple is usually very helpful. It is Microsoft who is not.

Apparently not. And if you think responding to statements that are wrongheaded, misinformed, and just plain wrong is being nasty then so be it.
