    Microsoft Working on Fix for Office Bugs in OS X El Capitan
    -----------------------------------------------------------
    Since OS X El Capitan was released to the public last week, 
    Microsoft Office users have noticed some serious bugs when 
    attempting to use the software. MacRumors has received 
    multiple emails from people having issues with Office 2016, 
    and there are several threads about the problem on our 
    forums.

    Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint are crashing for many 
    Microsoft users who have installed Office 2016, and Office 
    2011 users are also noticing problems with Outlook.

    Microsoft is aware of the problems with its software and 
    has been responding to customer complaints. In a thread on 
    the Microsoft forums, Microsoft Program Manager Faisal 
    Jeelani said the company is working with Apple to resolve 
    the issues, but said there is no timeline for a fix. 
    Microsoft also gave Computerworld a similar statement:

       "We know that some users may be experiencing issues 
        with Office 2016 for Mac running on El Capitan," 
        the statement read. "We are actively investigating 
        the matter with Apple. Until there is a fix, we 
        recommend people install the latest updates to 
        Office 2016 for Mac using Microsoft AutoUpdate."

    Customers who are running Office 2016 are running into a 
    wide variety of problems. Some are seeing only occasional 
    crashes with the software, while others are unable to open 
    any Office 2016 apps at all. Many who use Outlook for email 
    are unable to access their inboxes, and this particular 
    issue affects both Office 2016 and Office 2011.

       "I even did a fresh install of El Cap and then 
        did a fresh install of 2015 Office. The whole 
        office suite just bounces when I try to load 
        a file. The programs freeze when using them 
        and then crazy. I just keep sending the crash 
        reports to Microsoft. I thought it was more
        widespread but apparently it is just me. I 
        uninstalled 2016 office and went back to 2011."

    Microsoft's first support replies came shortly after OS X 
    El Capitan was released, which means the company has been 
    working on a fix for several days now, but it is not clear
    when a patch might be released. Many customers on the 
    Microsoft forums are growing angry with the company 
    because Microsoft had several months to work out crashing 
    issues ahead of OS X El Capitan's release. Crashes and 
    Office 2016 problems were first reported during the beta 
    testing period but remain unresolved.


    Update: 
    A Microsoft spokesperson has told MacRumors that a fix is 
    in the works.

       "We know that some users of Office 2016 for 
        Mac are experiencing issues as a result of 
        upgrading to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. We 
        are actively working with Apple towards 
        resolution."
