NSIT Support for Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows Vista

NSIT has issued an advisory concerning Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows Vista. Salient points:

  • Office 2007 for Windows has a default “save” format that is incompatible with earlier versions of Office and with Office for Mac.
  • If you are ordering a new machine, NSIT recommends purchasing it with Windows XP, instead of Vista.
  • NSIT will also not be fully supporting Windows Vista before 2008.

support@uchicago.edu or 4-TECH (773-834-8324).

Director, Visual Resources Center and Digital Media Archive, Division of the Humanities, The University of Chicago.

My academic background ranges from classics and comparative literature to modern art and architectural history, and so, naturally, I am a librarian. I have graduate degrees in art history and library science, manage digital image and audio collections for the Division of the Humanities, and am always eager to collaborate across disciplines, universities, and even continents! I'm interested in exploring the library's role in Digital Humanities, not just as an archive for born-digital objects but as a locus for Digital Humanities centers. At THATCamp I'm excited to find out how others are visualizing data, especially to facilitate creative research and teaching in art and architectural history and film studies. How can visual data (still images, film, 3D models, etc) move beyond illustration and become a source for research? What kind of creative information retrieval interfaces do we need to do this? We've got metadata...let's make it work!

Please be aware that Office for Windows includes Powerpoint, and that there are potential compatibility issues between Microsoft Windows VISTA and CWAC classroom projectors.
