Office 2007 Compatibility in Owen May 3, 2007
Posted by Rachel in Announcements, Microsoft Office, compatibility.add a comment
You may or may not have encountered some members of the Owen community who are already using Microsoft Office 2007, the latest version. The library is still currently using Office 2003. As Laura experienced this morning at the circ desk, she was unable to open an attachment sent by one of the 3rd floor staff who was already upgraded to the latest version of Office. But have no fear! There is something you can download in order to open these pesky version 2007 files that appear to be incompatible and makes your Word program cough at you.
Download this patch and install it. Your Office 2003 should then play friendly with it’s newer cousin, Office 2007. (This compatibility pack works for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.)
Have questions? Please see Rachel, or ask any of the Owen ITS folks.
