MacOS – How To Remove Individual Office 2016 for OS X Applications

Office 2016 for Mac has a stable release available for Office 365 subscribers. It'll be available as a standalone purchase at some unspecified date in September. Until then, it looks like Microsoft has taken their beta down. What you could do is wait as long as you can bear to live without Office and then sign up for a free trial of Office 365, and then unsubscribe and buy Office 2016 once it comes out in September.

This worked for me:

You may wish to update your Normal template as well. To do so:

• Open the Normal.dotm template (Note: You MUST navigate to the Normal template using the File menu in Word, and choose "Open". Don't try it from the Finder or you will make a copy of Normal each time.)
• Close all other documents (this is important...if you don't, Word holds a hidden instance of the old version open).
• Change the paper size.
• Add and remove a space from the text (to force Word to save the document)
• Save the Normal template. (If Word prompts you for a file name, you did not open the file correctly and you now have a copy that is not a template. Cancel out and start again...)
• Close Word.

Should be good when you re-open.
