New 'Office' PC by the Information Desk Area
In order to better accommodate users in wheelchairs, we have purchased another license for Microsoft Office.
The 'sitdown' public PC (019) closest to the Information desk 'public print station' is now the same as all the Wallace Room PCs.
A sign has been posted over it to explain it has the office suite of applications on it, and that those in wheelchairs have priority use of it.

Multipage Printing Issue
Some Gerstein PCs are unable to print PowerPoint documents using the multipage feature.
It only happens on non-Office public PCs using PowerPoint "Viewer".
Multipage printing is working in all other situations on non-Office and Office PCs.
The only way to tell that it won't print using multipage is when one selects the job to print at the print station. So users are accidentally printing it out and being charged more than they expected.
Please fill out one of our 'vouchers' for them as reimbursement if they complain.
The alternative is to get the user on one of the 'Office' PCs and have them save the PowerPoint document to its hard disk drive, then open it with PowerPoint.
From there, the multipage option will work.
