Re: IS Announces Support for MS Office 2001
Today, Information Systems is announcing support for Microsoft Office
2001 for Macintosh. This new version of its Office suite contains
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and a new component called Entourage.
Test Results and Known Issues
-------------------------------------
Office 2001 has been thoroughly tested within the MIT computing
environment. Responses from testers throughout MIT indicated that
this release is considered an improvement over previous versions. To
view new features and known issues uncovered during testing, see
http://web.mit.edu/is/help/office2001.
Entourage is a personal information manager that contains a calendar,
to do list manager, address book, and an e-mail client. Information
Systems will not be supporting Entourage at this time. For a
comprehensive overview of e-mail at MIT and supported clients, see
http://web.mit.edu/is/help/email/.
Purchasing Information
----------------------------
NECX has both shrink-wrapped copies and licenses with or without
media available at academic discounts via Microsoft Select. See

Where to find Support
