Microsoft Office 365 apps are now available in the Mac App Store
You can get Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and other Office 365 apps and use your current subscription with them.
At the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference keynote ( go.macworld.com/ ky18) last year, Apple introduced a revamped App Store app. During that unveiling, it was revealed that the apps in Microsoft Office 365 would be coming to the Mac App Store “later this year.” Well, it didn’t happen in 2018, but if the company meant within a year of WWDC, then it’s on time—microsoft Office 365 is now available in the Mac App Store.
The Office 365 apps are available from the Mac App Store with a free one-month trial. The full Office 365 bundle includes six apps: Excel, Powerpoint, Onedrive, Onenote, Outlook, and Word, though you can download individual apps. Once the free trial is over, the subscription price for the six-app bundle is $69.99. If you already have an Office 365 subscription, you can use it.
