Microsoft Office 2008 & TurningPoint

Posted by Janice Canero-Conklin

Microsoft Office 2008 and TuningPoint software have compatibility Issues

Micrsoft Office 2008 and Turning Technologies Macintosh based version of TurningPoint are not currently compatible. TurningPoint is an audience response software used in conjunction with "clickers". TurningPoint software uses VB scripting and depends on certain program files. Microsoft has deprecated VB scripting in Microsoft Office 2008 and has moved program files within the application.

Both will install, but TurningPoint will not open. An error stating that PowerPoint cannot be found occurs.

TurningPoint has verbally acknowledged this issue in a support call and stated that they are working on
a new version that is due out in the 2cd quarter of 2008.

Microsoft Office 2004 is fully compatible with current and past versions of TurningPoint software.
