Does Microsoft Office 2016 For Mac Have Macros

Posted : admin On 03.04.2020

2015-10-20  Unlike VB macros in Office for Mac 2011, VB macros in Office 2016 for Mac don’t have access to external files by default. The Office 2016 for Mac apps are sandboxed and so they lack the required permissions to access external files. 2018-5-24  Hi Microsoft. Would like to ask does Excel for Mac 2016 has Macro? And does the way or user experience to use Excel 2016 for Mac is the same as it is on Windows PC? Or any difference? I want to make sure Excel for Mac 2016 is identical in the way using it as if it is on Windows PC, before purchasing. Hope to see your answers soon. Nov 21, 2016 I haven’t had any problems using the Mac version of Excel 2016. I don’t create many macros myself, but I do regularly open files (created by others) with macros, and they all work fine.
