Microsoft Office for Mac 16.18

Originally published at: https://tidbits.com/watchlist/microsoft-office-2016-16-18/

Adds animation trigger capability to PowerPoint and a new Ideas button to Excel that visualizes patterns in your data. ($149.99 new for one-time purchase, $99.99/$69.99 annual subscription options, free update).

Will it leave inserted images at their original resolution, or decrease them to 72dpi like the present purchased Word for Mac 16.16.3?

Interesting bug! I’ll have to check this when I get home from a conference.

I don’t think it’s a bug or even an “undocumented feature”. To date, if you want your images to remain at the original resolution, you have to buy an new computer and get Word for Microsoft, or buy the monthly-payment version of Word for Mac. If this new Office for Mac has what I want, I’ll buy it. If not, I’ll stick with what I have and try to find a open source WP program to re-paste all my 100+ photos into my manuscript.

Thanks for your help with this.
