We already have the Windows 11 release date. It will arrive on October 5 and now we also know that another of the company’s iconic products, the office suite Office 2021, will arrive the same day to replace to the version that we have been using so far, Office 2019.
A long wait that Microsoft has put an end to by announcing that Office 2021 will hit the market coinciding with the arrival of Windows 11. An Office that is considered as the alternative to those who do not want to pay a subscription using office 365.
For those who do not want subscriptions
Dark Mode, now for real
Microsoft makes this announcement some time after arrival Office 2021 LTSC, an acronym for Long-Term Servicing Channel. This version of Office is the version with the highest level of implementation in the corporate environment and the version for all users inherits many of the tools that the LTSC version offers.
While waiting to be able to test any of these versions, an interesting detail is that It looks like Microsoft will release Office 2021 in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. In recent months there had been some rumor about the possibility that finally only the 64-bit version would arrive, but the truth is that there are still operating, surprising as it may seem, quite a few 32-bit systems, both in the home environment and in the home environment. professional. Thus, closing the doors of the new Office to these systems could mean leaving many users of the Microsoft suite without service.

We won’t see cloud-based features in Office 2021 or those that are improved through the use of artificial intelligence, which are reserved for Office 365 and the payment of a subscription. Leaving this aside, yes we will see some improvements.
Line Focus is here, a mode designed to eliminate distractions when navigating through a Word document. There is also a now improved Dark Mode or the XLOOKUP function, which aims to facilitate the search in Excel spreadsheets. These are the new functions that we will see:
- Focus Line in Word to avoid distractions similar to a reading mode.
- XLOOKUP function: Helps to find items in a table or range by row in an Excel spreadsheet.
- Dynamic Array Support – New functions in Excel that use dynamic arrays.
- Dark mode: All Office applications will include support for dark mode.
For now there are no more details, but it is expected that both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office will arrive with the aim of making the office suite compatible with as many computers as possible.
