- I have Office for Mac 2011. Microsoft: “.Office for Mac 2011 will no longer be supported after October 10, 2017. This means that if you have a one-time purchase of an older version of Office or an existing Office 365 subscription, you'll want to think about upgrading to Office 2016.” I have thousands of Word 2011 documents.

If you haven’t updated to Office 2016, plan to run this update from Self Service at a time of your preference. This software update will be optional through Fall 2018, then all staff will be expected to complete the update by December 31, 2018. In January 2019, Office 2011 will automatically be replaced by Office 2016 on any remaining computers that have not received the update.
