Microsoft to Stop Supporting Office 2016 for Mac in October <https://www.macrumors.com/2020/08/03/microsoft-stop-supporting-office-2016-october/>

"Connecting to Office 365 services using Office 2016 for Mac isn't
supported after October 13, 2020. That's because Office 2016
for Mac reaches end of support on that date."

If you're an apologist, please at least _read_ the cite before brazenly refuting every fact about Apple that you simply don't appear to like.

1. I remember way back when Mac versions of Word and Excel were actually
almost useful and not over-bloatedly full of awful gimmickry and bugs. :-(

2. Please do NOT reply to Arlen Holder's posts. He's a stupid anti-Apple
troll. Just ignore everything posted that braindead cretin ... better
yet, add the idiot to your newsreader's killfile / filter like those
of us with common sense have already done (until the moron changes
his name yet again, like all idiot trolls do).

Ditto. Hence, why I still prefer and use old versions even if unsupported.

The last good version of Word was 5.1, and it is untenable on a modern machine and cannot produce documents any modern user can work with.

Wow, from 90s according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft_Office. I
still remember the DOS version during the early 90s. I was jealous of those GUI word
processors. I remember getting one (forgot its name) on my Apple //c after seeing it in
action in my junir high schools' computer lab even though it was slow compared to
Macs.

What do you use these days? I use old 2007 SR3 and LibreOffice v7.0 (just came out
yesterday!) in my decade old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC. 2011 in mac OS Mojave
v10.14.6. LibreOffice v5.2.7 in my 12 years old Debian Jessie v8 PC.

For the permanent record, adults will notice EXACTLY what YourName says!

*I love when Type III apologists like Your Name posts what he thinks!*
o Because they prove that I'm correct that they _hate_ facts about Apple!

What apologists _hate_ is that I always speak facts, verbatim, about Apple.
o Apologists hate what Apple is so much they deny all facts they don't like.

Apologists like Your Name are literally _afraid_ of facts, in fact...
o They routinely killfile anyone who speaks verbatim facts about Apple.

Facts are extremely _dangerous_ to completely imaginary belief systems.
o Type III apologist implore everyone to _ignore_ all facts about Apple.

On the very *very* rare occasions I need a word processor I use Pages.
On the very *very* rare occasions I need to open an Open Office file I
go download the latest version of OO or Libre Office, open the file, and
then pretty shortly after that I delete Open Office/Libre Office.

The only reason I keep Pages around is because my invoice template is in
Pages.

The last time I needed a real word processor that I needed to produce
real output on (that is to say, something more complicated than a
letter) I used BBEdit and LaTeX. I produced a document that looked like
it had come from a professional print shop that had never heard of MS
Word. The footnotes where a dead give-away that I'd done something
beyond the recipients ability to replicate.
