* Although Microsoft Word 2000 will work for most Scribe functions, there are some compatibility issues between it and later versions of Word that Microsoft has not fully addressed. Because of this Microsoft issue, we do not recommend Word 2000, although some users may still find it adequate.

 

At the minimum level performance may be slow or the system may run out of memory when operating the browser. Please refer to the Microsoft websites for information on optimal browser performance.

 

** While Scribe does not endorse specific products, it is important for full platform functioning that the Anti-Virus software installed allows the user or network administrator to adjust script blocker settings. If you have questions regarding your brand of Anti-Virus software, please contact the publisher of the software for more information.
