Welcome. Likely as not the problems stem from Macros. The only problem
I can be sure of is educators are alway right, even if the only reason
they are, is they are to lazy to learn something new.

They cite that they only use Microsoft products because industry demands
it. Problem with that statement is industry is looking for alternatives
to License costs. They only stick with Microsoft because the educators
don't teach the options.

The Library system in Yuma was given some computers by Microsoft. Policy
no longer allows the work I was doing to promote Linux. Can you guess
why? Then of course Oracle removed distributor privileges to distribute
the old Sun Java so closed source, is closed source, and all closed
source should be avoided at all costs.

Boycott! Boycott! Boycott! Make your voice heard for Freedom! If Higher
Learning feels they can't receive a large number of students because of
closed source policy, they may quickly change. As it sits today, you
have to be in a waiting line for some classes. Let the institution you
are considering know you can wait longer, if it is required, to change
the world for a better future.
