Office 2007 for the PC and Office 2008 for the Mac will no longer be available for installation on personally owned computers.  This is a result of our latest Microsoft Campus Agreement.


One will be required to purchase Office 2010 for the PC or Office 2011 from the Mac.   The fee is $19.95.  One benefit is that you may use that purchase to install on up to 5 computers.  
Those wishing to install Office 2010 for the PC / Office 2011 for the Mac should be directed to this page of the Knox website:  http://www.knox.edu/offices-and-services/information-technology-services/computing-at-knox/network-applications.html.  The short blurb is towards the bottom of the page.
