Office 2016 Now Available
Recently, we began installing Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus on all new computer setups. For those of you not familiar with Office 2016, it is very similar to 2013 in look and feel. In fact, aside from some minor, but useful, productivity enhancements, many people would not be able to tell them apart. We are now announcing that we are making it available to anyone using a NDSU-owned computer.
