I'm thinking about getting MS Office Personal Edition for my MBA M1. Is there any issues that I should be aware of with MS Office 365 Personal Edition with the MBA M1 and Big Sur?
 
I have Office365 and it works with no problems that I've seen, but I've only used it VERY lightly on my M1 MBA. (I mainly use it on a Windows PC.)
 
I don't think I have the Personal Edition as my university provides it for all of us. My biggest complaint is when I'm doing cutting and pasting a lot of text, I get the spinning beach ball a lot and it keeps slowing down. I don't think this is a M1 issue because it largely only happens in MS Word. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks.
 
So far my office 365 works just fine on my M1 Pro. Office suites and with outlook onedrive works fine on mine .
