Re: [Techtrouble] [Tech] NSM server

Thanks Melissa.

To clarify one point: Microsoft Office *is* installed locally on each
Mac; the software itself is not being run off of the server. However,
the students' home directories are on the server, and MS Word checks
for files there when it starts up.

Best,
