I've had no problems with High Sierra and Office for Mac 2016.

Also see the following from Microsoft Office support for macOS 10.13 High Sierra - Office Support

As of September 25, 2017, macOS 10.13 High Sierra is publically available for all Mac users to install. Office 2016 for Mac is fully supported on High Sierra. For the best experience, we recommend you update Office to version 15.38 or later.

Wow, Larry, I'm surprised as I'm also trying to use Office 2011 for Mac.


I just upgraded to High Sierra and although Outlook and Excel APPEAR to be working, for the moment, PowerPoint and Word are certainly not working for me. I can't open old Word/PPT documents correctly or type a new doc. VERY annoying for me and I'm concerned about corruption for my Excel and Outlook files. 😠

Hi Larry, I used Office 2011 and switched to Office 365 on High Sierra. Everything works perfectly on High Sierra and the look and feel is quite an improvement. I would certainly suggest to switch! Macros work much better and the ribbon is much more what I was used to as I have to work with Office 2013 and now 365 on Windows pc’s at work. Compatibility is finally also much better between Office 2016/365 on the Mac and PC. No problems there anymore....


To my knowledge, the difference between Office 2016 and Office 365 is that you get future updates to all new versions as long as you have a subscription with Office 365 and also space in the cloud for working, sharing and colaborating online. I have a subscription for 5 computer licenses where I can install all Office 2016 applications and can highly suggest this; as my wife can tax deduct this subscription 😉
