Please note that all selections are subject to review and approval.

STEP 1: Please select a category.

    • Any valuable Outlook email saved to your computer, or a shared-drive, in Outlook’s .MSG format, will not be accessible without an add-on program. Mail Reader has been tested and costs less than $5 for the license. All email stored inside of Outlook or PST files works perfectly.
    • In Outlook for Mac, document attachments can’t be directly saved to SharePoint sites using the “upload” option. They can be dragged and dropped or copied and passed to SharePoint.
    • In order to create or maintain an O365 group, you must use the Office365 web client. The Outlook desktop client does not have this function at this time.
    • Voting buttons are not supported in the Outlook desktop client at this time. The Office365 Web client does support voting.
    • OneNote is not as well integrated with the Outlook desktop client.
    • No ability to insert slides from existing presentations into PowerPoint and retain the formatting of the existing presentation.
    • Unable to embed YouTube in PowerPoint natively. It requires a free liveslides.com PowerPoint Add-in.

No Window Equivalent:

  • Microsoft Visio
  • Microsoft Project
  • Oracle SmartView for Excel, used by Hyperion power users. All the web-based planning and reporting functionality works fine.
  • Before choosing Mac, please check to see if you use other Windows applications that may not have a Mac equivalent.

    • There are two options for running native Windows applications on a Mac:

    • Purchase and install Parallels. It provides a Mac desktop experience while running Windows applications. The cost is $175 for Windows operating system license and $99 for the Parallels license. Your department will be charged for the licenses and they are a one-time charge.
    • BootCamp (free) plus $175 for Windows operating system license. Bootcamp allows the Mac to bootup in either Windows or Mac. To switch from Windows to Mac or back, you must reboot the system. This is not recommended due to inconvenience and inability to work across Windows and Mac applications simultaneously.
