But this destroys support for 32-bit add-ons. Now Microsoft released the support article <a href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/en-us\/article\/Error-messages-after-updating-to-Office-for-Mac-64-bit-b62d842c-b099-434f-af65-96cb03c03242?ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-US&amp;ad=US\" target=\"_blank\">Error messages after updating to Office for Mac 64-bit<\/a>. User experiencing the following issues after upgrading to 64-bit.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>When you launch Application, you receive an error message that reads: \"<i>Compile error in hidden module: '&lt;name&gt;'<\/i>.\" <\/p>\n<p>This error commonly occurs when an add-in's code is incompatible with the current version, platform, or architecture of Office 2016 for Mac.<\/p>\n<li>\n<p>Inside an Office 2016 for Mac application, you see the add-in buttons are greyed out.<\/p>\n<li>\n<p>Inside an Office 2016 for Mac application, your add-in buttons are missing from the ribbon.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This applies to Excel 2016 for Mac, Outlook 2016 for Mac, and PowerPoint 2016 for Mac. An add-on that may be causes problems is Adobe PDF Maker&nbsp; The partial solution is to turn off add-ons or a rollback to 32-bit Office for Mac 2016.
