Office 2019

Third party software, including your Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) require updates to remain secure. If your computer has Office 2016 or older, we will be upgrading your computer to Office 2019 in October 2021.
What's different? Differences between both versions are minor. The list below outlines these differences.
Quick Tip! Once Office 2019 installation is complete, you can add a shortcut to your taskbar, if desired. To do this, click your Start Menu, find the application, right-click on that application, choose “More” and click “Pin to Taskbar”.
