Microsoft finally moves Mac Office apps to 64-bit

"The Mac Office team has been working on the transition and we're currently preparing to release the Office apps in full 64-bit," the Office for Mac team announced in an undated post to a company blog.
At the same time, Microsoft issued updates to the Office 2016 applications -- Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Word -- to users registered with the Insider program, a preview deal that, like the Windows 10 Insider plan, lets Office users grab early builds.
