SIMS - Office 2016

[PhilNeal]

We're staying with supporting Office 2016 from spring 16.

 

I agree that MyAccount should be the source of information. Occasionally I respond on EduGeek before product managers on MyAccount as they are out and about far more than I am.

Cool, thank you for the clarification

Nice service! Thanks phil, your presence here is really useful sometimes

 

This means we can install office 2016 sooner and allow users to edit PDF documents finally. Very happy with this!

Hi All,

 

Even though we are not officially supporting Office 2016 until Spring, could you raise cases on any issues that you have found please, to make sure we have captured all changes.

 

Kind regards

 

Nick

Just had a school start rolling out Office2016 - they tell me that SIMS Reports in excel, the spreadsheets are using spaces as a column delimiter (this is for normal SIMS reports, not CSV's) so the data in each column is all over the place. In fact, the user has had to save the spreadsheet as a file and open it with the CSV wizard to overcome it.

 

Has anyone come across this?

Are they 100% sure the user hasn't just suffered from the text to columns bug?

 

You know, the one that keeps applying it to new files unless you completely close Excel after using it.
