Smith College TechNotes blog

Right now the Smith campus is in a state of transition. Many students, faculty, and staff are already using Office 2007 for Windows and Office 2008 for Mac. In addition, all computers in the campus computer centers and classrooms will be upgraded to Office 2007 for Windows and Office 2008 for Mac by the start of the fall semester. However, some students, faculty, and staff are still using other versions of Office.

So, whether or not you use Office 2007 or 2008 yourself, you may need to take a few steps to ensure that:

• You can open and read any Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file sent to you by other Smith students, faculty, or staff.
• Other Smith students, faculty, and staff can open and read any Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file you send to them.
