ITS would like to remind faculty and staff Mac users to upgrade to Office 2008 at their earliest convenience. ITS will stop supporting Office 2004 as of August 31, 2009, and Microsoft has recently announced that the company will discontinue support and software updates for Office 2004 in October of this year.

Office 2008 is substantially different from the current version. Here are some resources to help new users understand what to expect with the new version:

  • Come to an Office 2008 overview workshop (students welcome to attend!)
  • Review the major new features in our What's New guide (pdf)
  • Visit the Mactopia web site for online documentation, tutorials, forums and more
  • Read about removed functionality of VBA macros in Known Issues

Faculty should be aware that Office 2008 will be installed in labs and eClassrooms during Summer 2009. Faculty should therefore plan to upgrade before the fall semester to allow plenty of time to become comfortable with the new interface and features.

Please visit our Microsoft Office 2008 Support page for detailed upgrade information and a complete list of Office 2008 FAQs.
