With this latest update, Office 2016 for Mac is making the permanent switch to 64-bit support which Microsoft says will boost performance and allow for new features. Apple's desktop operating system has been 64-bit for a while now, but Windows still allows users to to choose between 32- and 64-bit versions. The update is rolling out to those who are running Microsoft's productivity suite on OS X.
Microsoft announced in April that it would make the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit for Office 2016 for Mac.
