First use for new Announcements portion of the Circ Guide!
The following is copied from the information in this Circ Guide found under Community Borrowers & Guest Computer Access
Our campus now uses Microsoft 365 applications on public computers (8/1/2023). This affects our guest computer users (and emeriti) who want to use MS Office products (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
-
First option would be to have the person use Google Drive/Docs/etc.
-
If the person does not have a gmail account and just needs to quickly open and read/edit/print an MS word document, then have them use the Macs (with the printing workarounds as below)
More details:
- PCs–Users without a NetID/password CANNOT use the desktop MS Office applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc)
- Users must have a Microsoft account to use free web-based versions at office.com.
- If user does not have Microsoft account, they are free and user can provide any email address
- Macs–Users without a NetID/password CAN use the desktop MS Office applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc)
- Select “Skip Sign In” NOTE: Macs don’t send to pay print queues–offer USB or email to circdesk@uww.edu
