Office .docx Patch Help for PC Users

If you do NOT have Office 2007, then are STRONGLY encouraged to Upgrade to the newest version of Office available at the Computer Store in the 501 Building for $15!

If you have a version of Office for PC that is earlier than 2007, you will need to first update your version of Office to the most recent Update. To obtain the most recent update, click on the Help Menu and select Check for Updates, or visit the Office Update site, NON-Vista and Vista. Finally, you can choose to download the patch by either clicking Yes on the error message when you try to open the file, or download it below. If you have further problems, ask a friend or Dr. Hanrahan.
