Office 2008 Documents in the MLL
We use Microsoft Office 2008 in our labs. This saves documents in the new XML format (e.g., .docx). You will NOT be able to open these documents on other computers with older versions of Office (earlier than Office 2007 for Windows) or with Microsoft Works. If you want to open your lab documents on older version of Office, save it according to the directions below.
Saving a Word 2008 document in a format compatible with earlier versions of Word.
Wireless Internet (WiFi) at CELOP!
The CELOP and LCC buildings both have WiFi. Log in to either the "BU (requires VPN)" or "BU (802.1.x)" network from your Mac or PC laptop with a wireless card (WiFi NIC).
"BU (requires VPN)" This is the secure BU network. You need a BU login and the BU VPN application installed on your computer.
Computer Lab Orientations
Students get a lab orientation immediately after registration. If you missed it, login to the open lab and click on the movie "MLL Orientation.mpg" on the dock. The video introduces you to CELOP computers, materials, and policies. It also tells you how to use Mac OS X. All CELOP students must watch this video, regardless of how much computing experience you have elsewhere.
MLL Student Polls
We ask our students for their opinions on a different question each week. It's available as a pop-up window to the MLL Student Links page (the home page on lab computers). We will publish the results of all polls in the Semester Book.
