I am really frustrated by this issue and other Office 2016 issues. I've given up and moved the user back to Office 2010. I too was experiencing the Excel white screen, blanking out the data/contents in any profile on the computer not just the primary users. This issue is hard to explain but Excel opens to a white screen without grid lines. Yes, you can install and use Office 2016 for Mac and Office for Mac 2011 at the same time. However, we recommend that you uninstall Office for Mac 2011 before you install the new version just to prevent any confusion. To uninstall Office for Mac 2011, follow the steps in Uninstall Office 2011 for Mac. How do I pin the Office app icons to the dock? Open any Microsoft Office 2016 application – this can be Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Access, Publisher and obviously Outlook. From the Navigation bar, select Account. Sign in to Microsoft by providing your login credentials (similar to the ones you might use for Outlook.com or OneDrive). Select a background and office theme. Start your Mac and immediately, press and hold the Shift key. Apple logo will appear (do not release the Shift key yet) Then you will see the login screen (now you may release the Shift key) and login your Mac. Now you are in safe mode. Does flickering still happens? If flickering does not happen, restart your Mac regularly (without pressing any keys).
