A few reminders and announcements!
Moving tech equipment? Let us help!
If you need to move monitors, computers, docks, or other equipment to a different office, give the ITS Help Desk a call. We’ll work with you to make sure everything’s set up correctly and update the equipment in our system, so we know where to find it for future repairs.
Checked your voicemail message recently?
A lot has changed regarding calling on campus with the transition to Teams Phones. Give your office number a call to make sure your voicemail message is accurate and up-to-date.
Restart your device about once a week
Restarting your device improves speed and performance by clearing your computer’s cache (mentioned in this month’s Tech Terms article). If Outlook’s starting a little too slow, or you need to clear up space, make sure you’re restarting regularly.
Check which version of Office you’re using
If you’re using a PC, ITS recommends using Office 2021 for the best experience with your Microsoft apps.
How do I check?
- Click the Windows logo located in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen and search for Microsoft Word.
- Open the app.
- From the Home page of the app, click Account.
- You’ll see your version of Office on the Account page.
- If you’re using Office 2016 or Office 2019, schedule a time to update at a time that works for your schedule. Click here for instructions on updating to Office 2021
