Microsoft Office

The Microsoft Office suite is part of the UWB standard software image, which allows students and faculty to freely access it at workstations across campus. However, if you need the application for your own computer, check for discounts and reduced prices at your department, the

University Bookstore

, or another University of Washington resource.

Office application suites are used to create, edit, and print documents or presentations, which is one of the things you might have to do on a daily basis as an academic. While there are many options when it comes to choosing this type of software, the most common choice is the Microsoft Office Suite. Another option, though not supported by UWB is OpenOffice.org.
