Jamie: I overheard that you are in an upgrade mode again...

George: You must be referring to our organization-wide move to Office 2007

Jamie: That too....I was actually noticing some new neckware you have been sporting. So what is the goal of this upgrade?

George: To have my ties actually coordinate with my shirts?

Jamie: No, what is the goal of upgrading to Office 2007?

George: We have access to the latest Microsoft Office capabilities through our enterprise license. For ongoing support from Microsoft and to achieve the latest in integration capabilities for all of the Microsoft products, it now makes good sense to upgrade.

 Jamie: I was sent a document in Office 2007 format the other day, but I don’t have 2007 yet and can’t open it, what should I do?

George: Just  ask the sender to “save as” 2003 and resend it to you

Jamie: If I haven't gone to class yet,  is it possible to upgrade to Office 2007 before I do?

George: Yes, just contact the Help Desk with the asset tag of your computer to request the upgrade.

Jamie: Can I view the handouts from the classes electronically?

George: Yes, just visit the Help Desk website and look for the special Office 2007 section or click HERE

Jamie: These are busy days and weeks, why are we doing this upgrade now?

George: With big technology projects like Epic and Lawson on CMC’s plate, it’s only going to get busier.  So we are trying to get this upgrade completed and out of the way so that everyone can focus on these large initiatives!
