Office 365 Education for Students is an Office 365 plan that is available for free to students who attend academic institutions that have purchased Office for faculty and staff available at www.Office.com/GetOffice365. This plan allows students to install Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access on up to 5 PCs or Macs and Office apps on other mobile devices including Windows tablets and iPads®. The plan also includes 1TB of OneDrive storage, managed by the school, and students can edit and collaborate using Office Online, Yammer, and SharePoint sites. What are the eligibility requirements for Office 365 Education for Students? Schools qualify for this benefit when they have licensed Office institution-wide for their faculty and staff through Microsoft’s Volume Licensing program and are enrolled to allow students to sign-up directly with Microsoft. Active full- or part-time students at qualifying schools are eligible if they: Have a school-specific email address provided by the school (for example, contoso.edu) that can receive external email Are of legal age to sign up for an online offer individually (13 years old) Have Internet access How long can I use this plan for? If you are eligible, you can use the plan until you graduate or are no longer enrolled at a qualified school. Student eligibility may be re-verified at any time. At expiration, the Office applications enter a reduced- functionality mode, which means documents can be viewed but it isn’t possible to edit or create new documents. In addition, online services associated with the school email address, for example Office Online and OneDrive, will no longer work. What happens when I graduate? When you graduate, your Office 365 subscription through your institution ends upon graduation. You may enroll into other consumer or commercial offers available.

Yes, this would count towards the limit of installing it on 5 tablets.

  • E-Mailing a Large Amount of Recipients
    E-mailing a large amount of recipients DO NOT use the “TO” or “CC” field! If you have a large list of recipients you need to send an email you, you should never try sending one large email with all of the recipients listed in the “TO” and/or “CC” field. First of all, the message will likely not be delivered to everyone. Even if the message makes it past our local header size limit, every mail server you are attempting to send it to has it’s own header size limit and can reject your message for exceeding this limit. There are other reasons you would not want to send it that way as well. For instance, by including everyone you are sending the message to, you are displaying that publicly to everyone on the list. Anyone who received the message can easy perform a reply-all and send an unwanted message to everyone. This usually begins when someone replies-all and says “Remove me from your list”. It won’t be long before you get someone emailing the entire list saying “You didn’t have to email that request to all of us”, etc... Basically, it could create a large amont of unwanted email for everyone involved. So what are your options? DO use the “BCC” field! The first option is to include your list of recipients in the BCC field. This prevents the header size from getting too large and also prevents people from purposely or accidentally replying-to-all. The problem with this method is the recipient does not see their email address in the TO header.

  • Office 2010 - Compatibility Guide
    Office 2010 - Compatibility Guide The Microsoft Office 2010 system supports a robust XML file format that simplifies the exchange of data between Office applications. The new Open XML file format is incorporated for Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. This guide explains what users of Office 2003 and earlier Office versions need to do in order to work with files created in these new formats, and cases where this is not possible. This guide also explains the option of changing the default file format to Office 2003 standards if desired. List of new formats The new file formats associated with each of the principle Microsoft Office 2010 programs are listed below. File Application File Type Extension Word .docx document Excel .xlsx spreadsheet PowerPoint .pptx presentation Access .accdb database New format advantages & disadvantages Microsoft has introduced the new Open XML formats for Word, Excel and PowerPoint for the following reasons: 1. File sizes are smaller as they are already compressed; hence there is no need to zip files prior to attaching them to email messages. 2. They are safer because they cannot contain workable macro coding. 3. They are more easily recoverable. 4. Transparency and improved information security means that documents can be shared confidentially. Personally identifiable information such as user names and file paths can be easily identified and removed. 5. They maintain compatibility where users of Office 2000, XP and 2003 can open, edit and save documents in one of the new XML formats. The downside, however is that you need to install the Microsoft Office Compatiblity Packas found on the Microsoft website.
