ICTS expect to change over student workstations to Office 2007 on November 16th. We hope to move Library Staff to Office 2007 before that date. This will keep us in step with our students, and enable us to properly investigate products such as the latest version of Sharepoint, for document sharing.

Office 2007 has some major advantages (especially in Outlook) but it also has disadvantages – the main one being that the menu bar looks quite different. There will be some adaption needed and we have been talking to Janelle Blythe in ICTS about holding some demonstration sessions closer to the time of switch-over.

There are also a number of online resources available in Learn: you will need to login. Once in scroll down to see the Office 2007 materials.

We will provide more details as we have them.
