Microsoft releases Office 2019 for Mac preview

Microsoft started testing its Office 2019 apps for Windows business users back in April, and now its opening a new preview program for Mac users today. Like the Windows version, the Mac offering is designed for businesses that aren’t using Office 365 with all the latest features and updates. Microsoft typically updates Office 365, while these individual releases of Office are available for those hesitant to move to the cloud.

Office 2019 for Mac will include a roaming pencil case and ribbon customizations across all Office apps. Microsoft is also bringing focus mode to Word, alongside a new translator, and accessibility improvements. Morph transitions, SVG and 3D model support, play in-click sequence, and 4k video export are all coming to PowerPoint.

New funnel charts, 2D maps, and functions (CONCAT, TEXTJOIN, IFS, SWITCH) will be available in Excel. The focused inbox feature of Outlook mobile and desktop is also coming to the Mac version with Office 2019, alongside @ mentions, email templates, read and delivery receipts, and scheduled delivery of emails.
