Installing Microsoft software for Macintosh from the Software Server

Note: This process can be very slow depending on the amount of network traffic and the speed of your network connection! We recommend doing installation during off-peak hours or, if you have a very slow connection, that you purchase an installation CD from the Wesleyan Computer Store for $10.
