Microsoft has released a preview of Office 2016, which you can download from the Office Web site (a 2.66GB download) and install on any Mac that supports it. The latest version of Office offers an interface that is optimized for OS X Yosemite, bringing a flatter look, and better integrates Office with Microsoft’s cloud services. As with any new software suite, you might be wondering whether or not you can install and use it on your Mac.

The Office 2016 apps will be directly in your Applications folder, as opposed to a separate Office folder as with prior versions. Office 2016 will also not touch prior Office installations.
When installed, you will see your new Office Apps as separate applications within your Applications folder, instead of being enclosed in a separate Microsoft Office subdirectory. The installation will not overwrite any prior version of Office; however, do keep in mind that with multiple versions on your system, you will have more than one official handler for Office document formats. Therefore, you may inadvertently trigger one Office app to open when you intend a different one.
