That is why news and updates are always well received by the user, and an improvement never hurts..
One of the most anticipated releases for all office suite users is Office 2019, which Microsoft has given us the opportunity to try all the benefits and new features added in this new office suite. Office 2019 Preview for Mac is focused on seeing how it is possible to implement this new version since one of its novelties is that it will be delivered through Office volume licensing especially for the corporate segment.
By downloading and installing Office 2019 Preview for macOS, we will be acquiring the Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and OneDrive applications, with the difference that OneNote and OneDrive are the same versions that are available in Office 2016 for Mac and in the case of Skype for Business for Mac is not included in this suite..
