Interesting, the site implies that it should automatically pick up the updates and bring things to the 64 bit mode without having to do anything other than run the updates. What's kinda weird, is for me, Word is probably the one piece that I've ever had luck with running on Sierra, but when I go in and run the auto-update program from inside word, the only piece it tries to download (after updating autoupdate) is the patch for word, which brings it to a version number that's now higher than 15.25, which is apparently where they made that change. But it makes no effort at all to download patches for the rest of the suite that's installed, which is probably why I'm running into this issue so much. I've seen this behaviour with the patch download on a number of machines - word is the only thing that gets updated. I haven't been able to find a way to run their autoupdate utility outside of from inside one of the office applications either, to see if that would then cause them all to update. Working on trying to manually download that patch referenced and see how things update after that.
