Office 2007

...is a terrible crime against computer users of all ages. Leave it to Microsoft to take the simple and make it complex, thus defeating the primary purpose of computers. <_<

 

I hate every piece of software that I have used in that suite. Word 2007's problem is command placement; it doesn't help if one doesn't know what category something is under or that I have to click/right-click on the circle in the upper left to access certain commands, considering it wasn't that way before. PowerPoint 2007 is messed-up because it shows a drop shadow before the text shows up; whereas, an older version would not do that; then there's the whole animation issue. I haven't really used Excel 2007, so I'm not sure about it. Honestly, I shouldn't have to relearn where stuff is that I've known how to locate and use for years or even access a help file just to locate it.

 

New default file format messes up compatibility, and having to remember to choose the compatible file format is terrible.

 

I haven't found anybody that actually likes that junk, and the only reason I use it is because it's what's installed on my school's computers, which is just about the only place I use it.

 

Seriously, this is worst "necessary" software I've had to use to get work done.

I didn't like Word or Excel 07 once I started using them, but it took me max 3 days to really figure everything out. Though the whole 'compatibility' thing is pretty lame.

I think it is absolutely awesome and I love it totally.

 

It's a common problem between people - They can't get accustom to new technology. Work with it for a while and you'll get used to it, and eventually you'll find that it's very helpful, as I find it so.

I finally got around to using my loan money to buy office and I have to agree with you.

It took me ages to find the save as feature. I even read a book on the new office a few months ago and it’s all confusing.

I haven’t touched anything but Word yet though. It looks like it types slowly sometimes…

Now I just have to get used to it and the wacom.

I've actually been using the suite (Word mainly) for months (when I have no other option), but I still find it a nuisance. That's pretty bad really.
