- Stanford participates in Microsoft’s DreamSpark program. DreamSpark provides students and faculty access to numerous Microsoft developer and design tools, operating systems and more. The DreamSpark tools are for academic/classroom use only, not administrative use. The DreamSpark software is available from the Software Licensing web store.
- The IT Service Desk provides support for Office products on a "best effort" basis. Assistance with topics such as advanced Excel and PowerPoint operations and mail merge is not provided.
- Visit the Technology Training website to see current training opportunities (classroom training, one-on-one training, and online courses) for Microsoft Office products.
- If you are upgrading from Office 2011 to Office 2016, Office 2011 is not uninstalled. The 2011 apps are moved to the newly created Applications > Microsoft Office 2011 folder. Typically, 2011 application icons in the dock are removed but that is not always the case. To launch a 2016 app, go to Finder > Applications and launch the app you want.
