In the last issue of the Update , it was reported that UM System staff would be converted to WordPerfect 6.1 by mid-February. There have been a few obstacles making it difficult to meet this deadline. It is anticipated that all staff will be updated to the new version by the first week in March. Ninety-minute overview sessions to review the new software have been scheduled and are listed below. If you haven't signed up yet, please do so as soon as possible.
Space is limited and many of the review sessions are filling up fast.
Contact the ICS Helpdesk to register. Corel, Incorporated has purchased the WordPerfect software from Novell. The ICS staff is working on how this purchase will affect the University contracts previously signed with Novell. The University's contracts are in effect for two more years. ICS will continue to notify staff of any changes that occur with respect to the WordPerfect contract.
