* Description of issue: is the current translation "形式" for Format correct?
* Steps to reproduce your issue: launch any of Office for Mac application, and see the menu bar
* Insider Build number: 16.9 (171212)
* Platform: Mac
* Screenshot of the issue:

* Current translation: "形式"
* Suggested translation: "書式" or "フォーマット"
* English text (if known): Format
* Reason why you feel the current translation should change: the translation was "書式" in older version of Mac Office (I don't remember what version was) and why/when it's changed. Also, I'm not sure if "書式" even is correct since some specific terms (not sure if Format is one of them) should follow Apple style guide (if it still exists) - it needs to be researched.
