How can I install Office 365 on MacOS Monterey?

Hello Antonio Taliberti,

Microsoft 365 for Mac, Office 2024 for Mac, and Office 2021 for Mac are supported only in the three latest versions of Apple macOS.

As of September 2024, the three latest major releases are macOS Sequoia, macOS Sonoma, and macOS Ventura.

Refer to Upgrade macOS to continue receiving Microsoft 365 and Office for Mac updates - Microsoft Support

Office for Mac version 16.88 is the last version that will work on macOS Monterey. If you need to use Microsoft 365 applications on Monterey , you can download and install older versions of Office.

You can click on the following link to download and install version 16.88 of the Office suite: https://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/C1297A47-86C4-4C1F-97FA-950631F94777/MacAutoupdate/Microsoft_365_and_Office_16.88.24081116_BusinessPro_Installer.pkg

By the way, the download link for the previous version of Office comes from this site: Update history for Office for Mac - Office release notes | Microsoft Learn

If the installation is successful, you will need to disable automatic Office updates:

• Open an Office application (such as Word) and click Help menu > Check for Updates to open the MAU first.
• Right-click the MAU in the Dock and click Options > Show in Finder.
• Right-click the MAU file and click Move to Trash to uninstall it. (Note: You will need to quit MAU before you can uninstall it.

The above may be the solution, but the downside is that it will make it impossible to receive Office updates, so if you need to get long term feature updates with security updates, you need to use the latest versions of the three macOS.

I hope this is useful and please feel free to ask any questions.

Hi Antonio,

I'm glad to know that Microsoft 365 is now successfully installed!

However, the new problem is that OneDrive cannot be installed, as with Microsoft 365, the new version of OneDrive for Mac only supports macOS 13+, so consider downloading the old version of OneDrive for Mac as well.

The number 24.151.0728.0003, which stands for the OneDrive version number, was released in August 2024, so you can download it first to see if you can install it.

If that doesn't work, consider downloading an earlier version by replacing 24.151.0728.0003 in the link above with the version number you see in the release notes below.

Dear Ian

I succeded to install Microsoft 365 version 16.88.on my Mac, but Onedrive was not included.

The installer available from Onedrive page shows the mensagem 'impossible to install in this location'. But It does not allows me to choose a different one.
