Google tells me there's a page on the microsoft site but when you click on it the page is "no longer available".
It's annoying me now as 2016 Word has stopped working but every .docx document I click on tries to open with the latest version. I have office 2011 so want to revert everything back to that. When I remove Office 2016 I also want to be sure I don't bugger up my previous version.
I am on 3g internet so don't really want to download big files to repair the 2016 so I can uninstall it.
Can someone give me a step by step (read idiots guide)as to how to get rid of it safely?
Many thanks.
Assuming that you have an up to date copy of 2011 on install media, you're going to need a decent net connection to download the point upgrades from that version (they are about 350MB each).
Once you have a decent net connection get a copy of App Delete from the web and drag and drop office 2016 onto it (possible one programmes at a time, so Excel, then Word etc). This should remove all the gunk that Microsoft install in out of the way places to make the programmes work.
Then fire up office first run in the 2011 folder and you should be good to go.
Then run the updater and stand back.
Would it work to just tell OS X which application to use to open .docx files?
Here's a how-to if you don't know: right click on a .docx file in Finder and select 'Get Info' from the drop-down menu. In the box that opens, scroll down to 'Open With' (under comments box) and select Word 2011. You'll also have the option to 'Change All'. Agree to that and OS X will open all other .docx files with Word 2011.
