Microsoft recently released Office 2016 for Windows and Mac, featuring updated versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and other popular applications. CaTS is now recommending that Office 2016 be installed on all university-owned computers.
If you currently use a university-owned computer that has Office 2010 or Office 2013 installed, we encourage you to upgrade to Office 2016. You can do this by installing the software through Software Center, or calling the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827 and requesting the upgrade if you are using a non-domain PC or a Macintosh. The installation is free and in most instances can be done over the phone. For more information on using Software Center, visit https://www.wright.edu/information-technology/services/software-center.
Beginning October 1, 2016, all new computers purchased for university use will have Office 2016 already installed when you receive it, so no upgrade will be necessary.
Office 2016 will also be installed in all computer labs and electronic classrooms by the beginning of the 2016 Fall Semester. If you currently use Microsoft Office in any of your coursework, it is recommended that you begin revising that content to reflect Office 2016.
