==Note for Faculty and Staff==
===Upgrading to Office 2016 from Office 2013 on Campus Computers ===
Office 2016 is available to faculty and staff on University Imaged Computers through the [[Software_Center|Software Center on Windows Machines]]. MacOS machines maintain Office without user input.
 
===Troubleshooting===
Upgrading from previous versions of Microsoft Office, to 2013 causes any previously created shortcuts to no longer function. Faculty and staff should delete shortcuts that no longer work. To open Microsoft Office applications like Word, [[Microsoft Excel|Excel]], or PowerPoint, click the Windows button in the lower left or press the Windows button on your keyboard, and begin typing the application name. An icon for the application will appear.
