Microsoft has announced a January 30 release of Office 2007. This message serves as a reminder that the Rule/RSFA Authoring System (RAS) software is not compatible with Office 2007 due to additional xml features included in the Microsoft product.

***It is important that any workstation with a RAS installation NOT be upgraded to Office 2007.***

Work is currently underway to develop a replacement for the RAS software. If you have any questions or concerns about not upgrading to Office 2007, please contact the ERF Help Desk at 614-387-2078.

Thank you,
Julie Hartzell
Rules Unit Administrator
