The Protect Document command is on both the Tools menu and the Review tab вЂ“ but the Restrict Permission tool from the Review tab is on the File menu instead.Similarly, the commands from the View tab are split between the View and Window menus.This gives menu fans the option of minimising the ribbon and ignoring it, but there are a few things ribbon users will have to go look for in the menu. You get both a Table menu and a set of Table commands on the Insert tab of the ribbon in Word 2016, and the Tools menu and Review tab have almost the same set of commands вЂ“ but not quite. If anything, Office 2016 is almost too much of a Mac application, because instead of putting everything on the ribbon the way Office does on Windows, it both splits and duplicates features between the ribbon and the menus.ThatвЂ™s not just the file management tools on the File menu where youвЂ™d expect them (thereвЂ™s a File menu in Office 2013 too, which has the options for each program, whereas Office 2016 keeps Preferences on the Apple menu where Mac users will look for them). Powerpoint for Windows is part of the Microsoft 365 suite (formerly known as Office.At any rate, all the features sit inside a true Mac interface, from the Retina graphics and high resolution document themes to the familiar scroll bounce.

Windows users will be envious, especially since Microsoft stripped out the OneDrive integration in the Office 2016 dialogs on Windows in a recent update.OneDrive, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint are all in the Open and Save dialogs (and just as on Windows, Add a Service doesnвЂ™t list any other cloud services, particularly not iCloud). Not only does it show you your OneDrive folders by default in the Open and Save dialogs (and the multiple columns of macOS continue to be the best way to handle lots of nested folders), but you can see files and folders that have been shared with you right in the same dialog.That makes collaboration far simpler вЂ“ on Windows, you have to start in the OneDrive website rather than being able to open a document someone has shared directly in Word or Excel. Unless weвЂ™re talking about using iCloudвЂ¦Office 2016 for Mac does the best job weвЂ™ve seen so far of integrating OneDrive вЂ“ better than Office 2013 or even Windows 8.1. (If youвЂ™re having difficulty tracking down a command, use the search bar on the Help menu and it will pop up the menu you need with the command highlighted a handy option from Office Online.)Microsoft is thinking more of Mac users than visiting Windows users, but itвЂ™s also far easier to switch between the Windows, macOS and iPad versions of Office without having to hunt for how to do things.

The menu also shows you who youвЂ™ve already shared a document with and what they can do to it.With OneDrive, the document sharing is seamless and the colleague you share the document with doesnвЂ™t even have to sign in. Click the вЂhead-plusвЂ™ icon and you can invite people by email to view or edit your document, get a copy of a link (again, that can be for just viewing or editing as well) or email your document as an attachment (in its original file format or as a PDF). In Office 2016 for Mac theyвЂ™re right in front of you, in the title bar of each application. Still, as with ribbons and menus you get the Office experience where thatвЂ™s appropriate and the standard Mac experience the rest of the time.That Office experience pushes you towards saving documents in OneDrive (and OneDrive for Business and SharePoint) so you can use the new document sharing and improved shared editing features.On Windows, Office puts the sharing options in the File menu. Documents youвЂ™ve opened from websites show up in the Recent Documents list, which includes documents from cloud services that youвЂ™ve edited on other computers but there isnвЂ™t a central place to look back at them.If you want to open or save a document on your Mac, or on a network or external drive, click the On My Mac button in the dialog to switch to a standard macOS file dialog (although thereвЂ™s an Online Locations button to get back to the cloud file dialog).Perhaps confusingly, the On My Mac dialog is the way you can save and open iCloud files вЂ“ thatвЂ™s the same as any other Mac application, so it makes sense that Microsoft hasnвЂ™t tried to duplicate it, but it makes AppleвЂ™s cloud service feel less integrated than OneDrive, which feels odd on a Mac.
