OFFICE 2016 (WINDOWS) UPGRADES BEGIN MAY 9
Our beta testers in the Research Office have experienced 3 issues related to this upgrade:
1) Installation process: sometimes this deletes or removes previous instances of Office. Sometimes it does not. Both of these cases can cause issues. The icons for the previous versions do not disappear after the Office 2016 install. Users click on the icons for the previous versions of Office and it says it wants to reinstall the suite. Additionally, the extension types of Office documents sometimes reverts to Office 2013 or 2016 versions, even when updating the settings within the Windows interface or updating the registry.
2) Custom application upgrade issues: we have some custom Excel and Access applications. When testing with 2016 Access, the event procedures for some of the form calls are not raised (that work perfectly with Office 2010 or 2013), so this requires workarounds to the application. We are not sure how extensive this problem is. I’ve researched this on the MS site, but there is no specific article I’ve found that addresses this issue from 2013 to 2016.
3) Performance issues related to cloud syncing with the new version. There are settings to toggle the cloud features that you can adjust if you are experiencing issues.
If you have any questions or concerns about the upgrade, please contact Stephen at Stephen.Hotard@oregonstate.edu and we can coordinate with CN to change the rollout for your system
