Upgrade to Office 2013 Now Available

Standard

Upgrade your computer to Office 2013

Following a successful pilot with Members of the Administration Committee, all Commons Members and their staff will shortly be able to upgrade their computers to Office 2013. This is an upgraded version of your familiar office tools and some new ones. It includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and OneNote.

The move to Office 2013 is part of a series of steps to give you more mobility and choice in the way you use ICT services. The next step will be to migrate your mailbox to Office 365, making it quicker, easier and more convenient for you to access your Parliamentary information.
