To reactivate your Office applications, reconnect to the Internet.
If you don’t connect to the Internet at least every 31 days, your applications will go into reduced functionality mode, which means that you can view or print your documents but cannot edit the documents or create new ones. You should also connect to the Internet regularly to keep your version of Office up to date and benefit from automatic upgrades. Internet access is also required to access documents stored on OneDrive, unless you install the OneDrive desktop app. For Microsoft 365 plans, Internet access is also needed to manage your subscription account, for example to install Office on other PCs or to change billing options. Microsoft is rolling out fresh versions of its Office apps that work natively with Apple’s M1 chip, the powerhouse of the new Macbook Air, Macbook Pro and Mac Mini. However, Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of Office suites and all Microsoft 365 subscription plans. Microsoft Outlook is available in two different versions, MS Outlook 2019, as a part of MS Office Suite, and Office 365 Outlook, a subscription-based service. From all the tutorials I see the FILE tab. You don’t need to be connected to the Internet to use Office applications, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, because the applications are fully installed on your computer. I am struggling to find the FILE tab on my version of the application Microsoft Excel for Mac Version 16.32.
