Office 2013 will be the Campus Norm by Fall

Microsoft Office 2013 is coming to campus! Some faculty and staff may already have the latest version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook. Here are some links to videos about what’s new for each program:

The videos range between 2-4 minutes and cram in many of the new features. If the movie mentions a topic of interest, search for the topic at http://support.microsoft.com for more tips to utilize that feature.
 
If you don’t have Office 2013 yet, it is likely that you will by Fall 2014.
