Office 2007 Installation

A. Summary:

Here are the instructions for the Office 2007 installation for all AFSC offices and departments. All offices will do the installation using the Office 2007 CD.

· For offices that do not log onto servers, Microsoft website links are provided in this installation guide for the plug-ins and updates

· For corrections, updates, or clarifications on this Star Point, please email Gloria Moleon

C. Details:

You will use the Office 2007 CD for installations in all AFSC offices. After the installation, there are additional plug-ins and Office 2007 updates required.
