Microsoft Office 2021 for offline ‘MS app’ usage introduced, coming later this year

Microsoft, with an aim to let people use its Office apps offline, has introduced the new version of MS Office, called the Microsoft Office 2021.

It will be available for both Windows and Mac users in the second half of this year. This is when more details regarding the new version of the Microsoft software will be revealed.
