Microsoft Office 2019 Deployment
The OCIO is currently deploying an updated version of Microsoft Office (Office version 2019) to desktops with MS Office 2016 or earlier versions. Service Advisories regarding specific timeframes for business units were communicated via Service Advisories.
Additional information:
For more information about Microsoft Office 2019 features, the OCIO has set up a central resource for information. Please visit:
What's New in Microsoft Office 2019 (video)
What's New in Office 2019 - Infographic.pdf (sharepoint.com)
The pages include information, video tutorials, and more.
Action Required:
To receive the deployment, you will need to remain connected to PTONet by leaving your workstation powered on and either logged off or locked. Save all work and close all applications.
Your workstation may be rebooted more than once if multiple updates received by your workstation require a reboot. If you have any desktop shortcuts for the Microsoft applications (Word, Excel, Publisher, PowerPoint, etc..) then you would need to remove old Office shortcuts and then re-create the shortcuts after Office 2019 is installed as the shortcuts are custom for each desktop user’s preference.
How to create the shortcut:
• Click on Start Menu and choose the icon application, then left click on the icon (hold down the button after you left click) and then drag the icon to the desktop.
or
• Click on Start and right click on the Office Icon (Publisher as an example) and click More… and Click on “Open File Location” (image 1.)
• Right click on the application icon, then select Send to and then select desktop (Create Shortcut) (Image 2.)
