Speaking of moving from Catalina…I had to move a user from Mojave up, and went right to Monterey. Like me, and my 2012 Mac Mini, we’ll just not.Ītleast those of us who can’t update, can move to OpenOffice or LibreOffice, the latter I use and support. I have to scramble to get some of my users off Catalina, and some can’t as their older hardware won’t support past Catalina.

I was told that Catalina support from Apple end’s this month, so this update information is likely related. Some of the supporting details in “ Why You Should Upgrade (On Your Own Terms)” (4 September 2015) may seem dated, but its key points are as valid now as they were 7 years ago. Upgrading is a pain, I know, but it’s a necessity of modern life. At some point, that may become a problem. If you continue to use Catalina, your Office apps will still work fine but won’t receive enhancements, bug fixes, or security updates. The October 2022 update (16.66) was the last build of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote for users running Catalina. macOS 12 Monterey and macOS 13 Ventura are fully supported. That applies to Office for Mac 2019, Office for Mac 2021, and Microsoft 365 (see “ Microsoft Rebranding Office to Microsoft 365,” 17 October 2022). Microsoft has announced that the company’s productivity suite will receive updates only if your Mac is running at least macOS 11 Big Sur. If you use Microsoft Office in macOS 10.15 Catalina, there’s yet another reason beyond the lack of Apple security updates to consider upgrading soon.
