Shaan Pruden, senior director of worldwide developer relations at Apple, says that when the company overhauled the App Store last year, it added the ability to roll several apps into a subscription package with the idea of bringing Microsoft Office into the fold. The package will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. But if you are using a plugin/add-on that is only available as Intel code, then it won’t be available when the app is running natively - in which case, you can choose to run the Intel version (via Rosetta) and get access to your plugin.That slow clap you hear spreading around the internet today could be due to the fact that Apple has finally added Microsoft Office to the Mac App Store. So why would you want to keep using Rosetta if the app is universal? Most of the time, you won’t. See also: If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac - Apple Support I am guessing that it has defaulted to Rosetta, because that’s what you were previously using (when the app was Intel-only), and the message is letting you know that you may want to switch it over to native operation (by un-checking that box on each Office app). So you can now choose which way you want it to open. I assume that you’re seeing this message because the previous version was Intel-only and the new (current) version is universal. There is a checkbox, “Open using Rosetta”, which is used to configure it. Select the app in the Finder and do a “get info”. If your app is “universal”, meaning it contains both Intel and ARM code, you can choose which way you want to run it. Similarly, if it is ARM-only, it will be run as native (again, because there’s no other option). If your app is Intel-only, it will automatically be run via Rosetta (because there’s no other option). “you can now disable the Rosetta emulator for Excel”. #1641: LastPass breached, Live Text aids recipe input, fix for failed MobileDeviceUpdater installs.#1642: How to identify phishing attacks, new iPhone and iPad passcode requirements.#1643: New Mac mini and MacBook Pro models, new second-gen HomePod, security-focused OS updates, industry layoffs.#1644: Explaining Mastodon and the Fediverse, HomePod Software 16.3 and tvOS 16.3, GoTo breach.#1645: AirPlay iPhone to Mac for remote video, Siri learns to restart iPhones, Apple's Q1 2023 financials.
