I have been a Microsoft Office user for decades. I am glad Microsoft still offers this software as a client-based application that people can install on their machines locally. Recently, I have been considering upgrading my current version of Office to the latest Office 2021 version. However, I am getting confused by the difference between Office version versus the version number.
Unfortunately, on the Mac, Microsoft no longer appears to list the "Office version" when I go to Word/Powerpoint/Excel>About. Instead, I only find a version number (eg. 15.33). Is there a way to easily identify which "Office version" this is (eg. Office 2016 for Mac, Office 2019 for Mac, etc.)?
I did find a table on Wikipedia which lists "Office versions" along with "version numbers". However, for Mac, there seems to be a problem when it comes to Office 2016, 2019, and 2021 for Mac. Specifically, all three of these "Office versions" can correspond to version number 16! If all three of these Office versions for Mac can have a version number of 16, then how can an end-user accurately identify which "Office version" they have? Does Microsoft have a more comprehensive table somewhere that adds more clarity to the issue?
