The word on Word



You may have noticed that when you eDisk login at any of the Library or Martin Workroom computers, Microsoft Word has been SLOW to launch. This is a known problem, which has nothing to do with the integrity of your files. Computing Services is aware of the issue, and is working to find a cure. In the meantime, allow Word to slowly open, then edit and SAVE files like normal. ALWAYS save to your eDisk Desktop, NOT to the local Microsoft Office folder.

In other other news... GoPrint print management was a success last term. Overall printing was reduced 35%, with a LOT less waste. Stop by the ASK ME desk if you have any questions about your printing account.

Why is the "W" upside down?

Ask Andy said...

Because Word isn't working in the stellar fashion, to which we had grown accustom.

That's a silly reason.

Perhaps not so silly if you're trying to run nearly 100 file-shared computers, for over 2000 students, and they are all laboring on a very slow to launch Word. At that point I'd like to rip Word right out of these machines. But since the application is so pervasive, I'll have to settle for tipping the logo.
