    There is no File tab in the Mac Office 2016 programs, nor will Alt+F [or any other keystroke] access the Ribbon. There are numerous differences between the Mac version & that provided for Windows. It may be worth the time to use Help> Excel Help to review the Tutorials & Videos. Comparable support is available from the Help menu for the other Office 2016 programs.

    If you still have any specific questions, don't hesitate to post a new message detailing the concern.

    What happens when you press ALT+F?

    Hi David,

    Please click on the Customize Quick Access Toolbar to check whether you can find it back.

    Hi Kevin,

    Forgot to mention it's the Mac version. Nothing happens with ALT (option) +F (or with F+ command or control).

    David.

    What is your current license? Is this a full license or a trial license?
