    Dear alex collin
    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum.
    Based on the information you provided, I understand that you are attempting to download Office 365 version 16.88.

    According to my research, you can find compatible Office 365 versions at the following link:
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-for-mac
    Please note the following important considerations:

    • License Removal: Before installation, it is recommended to run the license removal tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/remove-office-license-files-on-a-mac-b032c0f6-a431-4dad-83a9-6b727c03b193.
    • System Compatibility: If you are unable to download from the link above, you may try the Mac App Store. However, ensure that your system is running macOS Monterey 12.7.6.
    • Version Support: Office 365 version 16.88 is the final update compatible with macOS Monterey 12.7.6. Newer versions, such as 16.90, require macOS 13 or later.
    • Known Issues: Outlook 16.88 may encounter critical issues on macOS Monterey, including system crashes, inability to move emails, and lack of support for mail rules.
    • Alternative Versions: If you experience errors after installation, you may consider using an earlier version such as 16.43 or 16.59.

    I hope this information proves helpful. Should you need further assistance or encounter any additional issues, please feel free to share. I am always ready to support you.
