Donna,
I have certainly used Word 2016 on the Macintosh with no major issues. I have
not tried anything complex however. Office 2016 has both Macintosh style menus
and also a ribbon, I believe there are more options embedded in the ribbon,
though the ribbon is not as keyboard interactive as it is on Windows. You have
to interact with the ribbon, select the category from the top row, then move
down and interact one more time to get to all the controls there. I expect that
one could use the item chooser in two quickly get to a ribbon item, but I have
only tried that in Outlook where even in my 2016 15 inch Mac Book Pro I escape
out of the item chooser before it brings up a list of items because it is too
slow.. (500 messages in inbox)
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
