Microsoft has announced an update to Office 2016 for Mac Preview.

Similar to our recent announcements of universal Office apps for Windows 10 and Office for Android tablet, Office 2016 for Mac shares an unmistakably Office experience–but it is also thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the unique features of the Mac. The new apps offer full retina display support with thousands of retina-optimized graphics, full screen view for native immersive experiences, and even little Mac affordances like scroll bounce.

This update provides the following fixes and improvements.

Outlook
● Networking improvements for Exchange accounts
● New "Propose New Time" feature: Meeting attendees can propose a new time for a meeting, and meeting organizers can view and modify meeting proposals and send updates.

● New search feature for online document templates
● Proofing tools: New "custom dictionary" and "exclude dictionary" support
