Office 2007
Office 2007

Please note: Upgrading to Office 2007 is not required nor recommended. For compatibility with the new file format, you should install the file converters in case you receive Office 2007 files from others.  The file converters can be found here. 

Office 2007™ General Information

Microsoft released Office 2007 on January 30th 2007. NJIT has not yet released Office 2007 to its community.

Information about the use of Office 2007

There are notable differences from previous versions of Office which may prevent you from easily using certain Office tools for your daily tasks.  Adapting to this new interface may be problematic for people who are familiar with the user interface (menus) of previous versions of Office and require a learning curve.  NJIT community members should not upgrade to Office 2007 until receiving specific training on Office 2007.  A training schedule for employees that includes Office 2007 is or will be available at the TLT website.

An Office 2007 FAQ is available to answer many of your questions.  We urge you to periodically read it for up-to-date news.  In addition to the information on that page, we offer  web-based resources regarding Office 2007.  If you have any questions not answered on those pages, please see Microsoft's Office 2007 online resources, or contact the IST Computing Helpdesk.

Support Options

Office 2007 natively saves files in a format that is incompatible with earlier versions of Office.  For more information about saving in a compatible format, click here.

We offer web-based resources regarding Office 2007 now, as will offer face-to-face training in the near future. For additional information, we recommend Microsoft's Office 2007 online resources.

Office 2007 installation instructions can be found here.
