The Mac Office suite pre 2016 won’t work as it requires 32 bit calls . These have finally been discontinued with Catalina which is pure 64 bit


Even 2016 version has 32 bit calls in the packages so is having issues.


Your options are to look at alternative office suites OR fork out for an office 365 subscription sorry to say’


Or go back to 10.14 or earlier
