# Mac Projects Are Coming! Macs may not run[CERN](http://home.web.cern.ch/about/computing)but they sure are[popular in the classroom](http://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/mac-school.jpg). But Microsoft and Apple don’t always play nice together. Microsoft Office isn’t released as often for Mac and doesn’t have the same layout and functionality. How do you deal with a class full of Mac users? In the past it’s been all about ensuring that your Mac users get as close to the *Office 2013* version as possible. Now you can simply assign one of the Mac Certified projects, have your students use the **Instructions for Mac** link, and they’re good to go. Our software will automatically handle mixed classes while still allowing you the flexibility to create your own custom rubric. **Release Schedule**![Instructions for Mac download link image](/files/vkKdEKvcuOVJchHCS4Lp) At SIMnet we’re working on 8 projects for Mac certified release. The first four will be released by Tuesday, July 8th. * In Practice Excel 1-5 * In Practice Excel 2-4 * In Practice Word 1-6 * In Practice Word 2-6 The second batch is coming soon! * Skills Excel 1-6 * Skills Excel 2-3 * Skills Word 1-1 * Skills Word 2-6 We’ll close with a small word of warning: Once a student has started a project with one operating system, they should stick to it. Switching between Windows and Mac will cause grading errors! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
