[OSX-Users] Office 2016 for Mac now available

[Julian Field]

Folks,

You can now get your paws on Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac.
Compatibility with the PC version has improved quite a bit. All the nice 
menus are all still there.

There are 2 different versions available.

1. The "Standard" version (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, as far as I 
know) which you can install on any University-owned machine. It does not 
require any licence code or activation key, download it from here:
http://www.software.ecs.soton.ac.uk/Staff%20%26%20PGR/Microsoft/mac/

2. The "Professional Plus" (also contains OneNote) which you can install 
on your *own* machines, including home computers. This will activate 
itself. You should start here, login with your iSolutions 
username/password and then click on the words "Office 365" at the top:
    http://go.soton.ac.uk/365login

*BIG NOTE:* This will not touch your installation of Office 2011 or any 
other previous version. If you want to remove 2011, I *strongly* 
recommend you do so BEFORE installing 2016, as the removal process is 
completely manual and much more difficult if both versions are present. 
Microsoft's list of steps are here:

If you still have Office 2008 installed, then I would remove that first 
too. The steps are here:
