Office 2016 Mac Not Working
Applies to: Azure Information Protection, Office 365
Support for Office 2016 for Mac will end on October 13, 2020. Rest assured that all your Office 2016 apps will continue to function—they won't disappear from your Mac, nor will you lose any data. But here's what the end of support means for you: You'll no longer receive Office 2016 for Mac software updates from Microsoft Update. Today I contacted Microsoft Support about may main problem, i.e. Not being able to read Times New Roman properly on my Mac with Word for Mac 2016. The support person did a remote connection with my Mac and uninstalled Office for Mac 2016 and then did a clean reinstall of it.

Use this information to determine what you need to do so that Office apps work with the Azure Rights Management service from Azure Information Protection.
Office 365 apps, Office 2019, Office 2016, and Office 2013
Because these later versions of Office provide built-in support for the Azure Rights Management service, no client computer configuration is required to support the information rights management (IRM) features for applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Outlook on the web.
All users have to do for these apps on Windows, is sign in to their Office applications with their Microsoft 365 credentials. They can then can protect files and emails, and use files and emails that have been protected by others.
User instructions for Office for Mac
Users who have Office for Mac must first verify their credentials before they can protect content. For example:
Open Outlook and create a profile by using your Microsoft 365 work or school account.
Create a new message and on the Options tab, select Permissions, and then select Verify Credentials. When prompted, specify your Microsoft 365 work or school account details again, and select Sign in.
This action downloads the Azure Rights Management templates and Verify Credentials is now replaced with options that include No Restrictions, Do Not Forward, and any Azure Rights Management templates that are published for your tenant.
You can now cancel this new message.
To protect an email message or a document: On the Options tab, select Permissions and choose an option or template that protects your email or document.

Office 2016 Mac Not Working Windows 7
For client computers to use the Azure Rights Management service with Office 2010, they must have the Azure Information Protection client. No further configuration is required other than users must sign in with their Microsoft 365 credentials and they can then protect files and use files that have been protected by others.
