• Office 2007
  
  Technology Resources has begun the process of upgrading campus PCs to Office 2007.  The migration should be completed before the fall semester begins.
  
  The upgrade to Office 2007 will take advantage of a richer feature set and added functionality. Now PeopleSoft and other business applications used at TCU support Office 2007.  Office 2007 applications include: Access 2007, Excel 2007, OneNote 2007, Outlook 2007, PowerPoint 2007, Publisher 2007 and Word 2007.
  
  Currently, Technology Resources is contacting departments individually to plan the upgrade and schedule training. Campus labs will be upgraded to Office 2007during the summer months.
