Have not seen anything public info but will Softmaker drop the universal binary slice out of their deliverables?
We have an older ( 2021 ) Intel based MacBook Pro running on Sequoia and I do not want to get coerced into MS Office 365 .
I am also concerned about color printers but that is a seperate issue and cheaper for SOHO color inkjets. Better quality can be obtained by printing on internet , waiting and paying for it each time, I suppose

Thank you for posting your query. SoftMaker Office for Mac currently supports both Intel and Apple-silicon Macs, including macOS Sequoia. You can find the current requirements here.

Apple’s change gives developers the option to stop providing Intel builds; it does not require them to. I can’t promise what future releases will support this, but this policy change does not affect Intel support in the current version.
