Microsoft Office updates for the Mac fix critical issues and improve security.

If you are having problems with any Office program, the first solution is to check for and install updates.

This wikiHow teaches you how to check for updates in Microsoft Excel on a Windows or Mac computer. If updates are available, Excel will download and install them as needed. Keep in mind that Excel, like most Microsoft Office products, will usually update itself automatically. If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

How to Check for Updates

1. Open MS Word (or any Office program), click on the Help menu, and choose Check for Updates
   
2. In the Microsoft Auto Update window, select Automatically check for updates weekly, then click Check for Updates.
3. This window will show the latest update (or updates). There may be several updates to install.
