Microsoft AutoUpdate makes sure your copy of Office will always be up-to-date with. Office 2016 for Mac users lambaste Microsoft after upgrading to Apple's OS X El Capitan Unclear whether Microsoft or Apple is at fault for irregular crashes of Outlook, Excel and Word. Until there is a fix, we recommend people install the latest updates to Office 2016 for Mac using Microsoft AutoUpdate.” The Project Manager for Outlook, Faisal Jeelani, recently commented on a post on the company’s support forum. We are aware of the issue with Outlook 2011 on El Capitan and of Office 2016 on El Capitan.
Microsoft today released an update for Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, which fixes a significant Outlook bug that Office users ran into after upgrading to OS X El Capitan. After installing the new Apple operating system, many Outlook 2011 users found themselves unable to access their mail due to a syncing issue that caused the app to hang whenever it attempted to access the server.
- If you're one of the many people for whom El Capitan essentially killed Office 2016 for the Mac, you've finally got a fix. OS X 10.11.1 is out, and it appears to fix the problem.
- 2015-10-7 Microsoft has released the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update. In addition to the application improvements that are mentioned in this article, Office for Mac 2011 is now available as a subscription offering. For more information about subscriptions, see Frequently Asked Questions. This update has prerequisites.
- Sep 27, 2015 Office 2011 seems mostly OK for me with El Capitan (I don't use Outlook so haven't been affected by those problems), but Word seems sluggish on some documents, with spinning beach ball or 'application unresponsive' messages.
- I use the Apple Macbook with OSX El Capitan. I recently purchased Microsoft Office 2016 which crashes every 30-60 seconds on this OS. While Microsoft has stated that the latest patch fixes the problem, as many users have pointed out that is not true. Microsoft is not advising what the plan for the fix is or when it is coming.
Users were seeing a spinning Wait cursor whenever a sync was attempted and Outlook would become unresponsive, making it impossible to fetch new emails. The new 14.5.6 update should fix this problem for Outlook users who have installed OS X El Capitan and is a much better fix than Microsoft's previous workaround, which simply suggested users run OS X Yosemite.
Though Microsoft has fixed one major bug OS X El Capitan users are running into, there are still problems with Office 2016. Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint 2016 are crashing for many users, preventing them from being used with OS X El Capitan.

Microsoft has said that it is working on a fix for Office 2016, but it has not given a timeline for when users can expect the issues to be solved.
