It's certainly different...but I like it.
The word program works great, thats all I wanted, and once I got used to the new concept of the layout--still trying to figure out how to do stuff--it's more like rifling thru a tabbed file drawer than digging in a box. Once you learn where everything is...I'm sure there were instructions but who reads those?
I like that everything is out where you can see it and it's a fast shift from one action to another ihnstead of opening and closing a series of windows. I love it.
Terrible
Word does not work well with Outlook. Is very cumbersome and doesn't work well with Outlook when making envelopes from my contact list. I guess I'll have to address all my christmas cards buy hand.
Office 2007 is a productivity black hole
If you have never used MS Office before then ignore this review, because you are unlikely to be bothered by the issues raised here.
As an advanced Excel user for nearly twenty years, I have to say that Microsoft has rolled out the software equivalent of new Coke.
Many professionals learned spreadsheets back in the 1980s when Lotus 123 enabled tremendous advances for ordinary business users. One of the great strengths of Microsoft Excel, when it became ready for Prime Time, was its ease of use for legacy 123 users. At that time, 123 was THE spreadsheet program for business and Excel was a newcomer trying to take market share.
The latest version of Office is like a punch in the stomach for experienced users ... Read More
This was a good deal for me
Needed to upgrade from older versions of Office and this worked out just right. For the price, you can install this on 3 computers, which was just what I needed.
Using 2007 is a little bit different than Office 2003 but was not hard to adjust.
Also, I like being able to add the function for creating PDF files for no extra cost.
