1. Ms Office 2019 For Mac Release Date
2. Is Office 2019 Out
3. Windows Office 2019 Release Date

The beta of Office 2019 for Mac is meant for volume license customers who intend to run the 'perpetual' version of the suite, not Office 365 subscribers.

We don’t have a Microsoft Office 2019 release date yet. Historically, new Office versions were released anytime from half a year in advance (Office 2000 in June 1999) up until the last quarter of the name-giving year (Office 2003 in October 2003). Microsoft Office for Mac just got its first major update in years. Previews of the 2019 edition have been appearing for months, but the wait for the full version is over. It brings loads of new. Office 2019 for Mac, however, will continue to come with an improved version of the existing OneNote package, but for Windows, only Windows 10 users will be allowed to install the productivity suite. As a onetime release, Office 2019 will not receive future feature updates. However, it’s an upgrade from Microsoft Office 2016 with many next-gen features. Here are the new features that Mac users will get to enjoy with Microsoft Office 2019. Powerful data analysis. Microsoft Excel still reigns supreme when it comes to data management and analysis.

Six weeks after shipping a preview of Office 2019 to commercial customers running Windows, Microsoft this week followed with a beta for the Mac edition of the application suite.

'Office 2019 for Mac ... is set to ship alongside Office 2019 for Windows in the second half of 2018.,' wrote Jared Spataro, the Microsoft executive in charge of Office's product marketing, in a June 12 post to a company blog.

The vague release window of 'second half of 2018' is as granular as Microsoft will get at this point.

Like the preview offered to Windows users in April, the beta of Office 2019 for Mac is meant for volume license customers who intend to run the 'perpetual' version of the suite, not the applications provided to Office 365 subscribers.

Ms Office 2019 For Mac Release Date

Office 365 subscribers have no reason to bother beta testing Office 2019 on Mac or Windows in any case: They've already seen what it will offer.

The perpetually-licensed Office 2019 will be built from the changes that have accumulated in Office 365's core, Office 365 ProPlus, over the last three years.

But for those still running Office for Mac sans a 365 sub, the beta will sport new tools and functionality, including customisable top-of-the-window 'ribbons,' email delivery scheduling and Excel funnel charts.

Is Office 2019 Out

The process of registering for the Office 2019 for Mac beta is identical to the steps Windows users took to get their preview.

The 2GB-sized preview installer and associated documentation for the bundle - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote - can be downloaded from the Microsoft Collaborate portal.

According to information elsewhere, Office 2019 for Mac, including the preview, will be supported on the 'two most recent versions of macOS' at any point in time.

That means the beta of Office 2019 for Mac will be supported with security patches and other bug fixes on macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and 10.12 (Sierra).

Windows Office 2019 Release Date

If the production-grade version of the suite ships after Apple has refreshed macOS this fall, Office 2019 for Mac will be supported on macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and 10.13 (High Sierra). 'For the best experience, use the latest version of any operating system,' Microsoft urged.

Office 2019 for Mac and its predecessor, Office 2016 for Mac, cannot be run concurrently, the Redmond, Wash. firm added.

Microsoft has not set a release date for a more broadly-distributed Office 2019 for Mac beta available to the general public.
