[OSX-Users] Re: Office 2016 - avoid on El Capitan (or don't upgrade)

[Jules Field]

And, lo and behold, this morning El Capitan 10.11.1 update is available.
2nd item in the fix list is:
     - Improves compatibility with Microsoft Office 2016

So let's see if they've sorted it between them...

Cheers,
Jules.

Might need 10.11.1 to really get it back off the ground again.
