    5 out of 5 stars I am Happy!   August 14, 2010

    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    2010 is not a super-duper improvement over 2007, but good enough to pay $99 for Office 2010 Professional (academic. . .which I understand is the same as a non-academic version).

    The two areas I wish that would be improved are: 1. Placing pictures on the page exactly where you want them, this is still a challenge. 2. All the hoops you have to jump through (and remember) to get headers and footers to do what you want (mainly working with Chapters). As a former Word Perfect user, pictures on a page and chapters were a snap. 3. I wish that the Outlook icon (on the bottom right) would offer a "check mail" option, without having to open Outlook. Outlook still doesn't always notify you that you have new mail, even though the "notify me" boxes are checked.

    I have to admit that I never cared for Word until they presented the Ribbons. . . . they are cool! I still have Word Perfect (version 11), but I rarely use it anymore.



    2 out of 5 stars Ridiculously over-priced   August 13, 2010
    E. Gratis
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Well, I know Office has always been an expensive program, but you'd think as time went on, and as development costs decreased, the price would go down. Not so.

    It seems each couple years they buoy the price higher by appending the current date, and having a chinese firedrill with the features. If the interface was one way the last time, do the opposite. If it couldn't do stuff that a video editor or photoshop could do last time, try to add some of that in too. Nevermind that that has little do do with the word "Office". Let-alone "Productivity". I guess that is the problem.

    I remember there was a time not (that) long ago when I was impressed by all the cool stuff they had put in Office to empower the users. It felt more solid then, like it wasn't going to shift as quicksand under one's feet for no reason. It seemed like it had a coherent vision. It was the business-minded, efficient, pragmatic software that could get things done. Now, it's waltzed off into pretty-land, adding in myriad frivolous features with blatant disregard to the skyrocketting price, with the only real, pragmatic breakthroughs being in increasing the user's DEPENDENCE on Microsoft. It's not about empowering you to get things done. Rather, they make it seem like your entire computer would collapse if it lost it's lifeline to Microsoft's update server. Sadly, the way it's designed, it might. And if all the pretty features were gone, what would you do? Would you have to edit video in a video-editting software? Or edit images in photoshop? Maybe the truth is, you would have to be willing to pay hundreds of dollars less for your Office. And they don't want that.

    I've used this software at school. Overall, it's good, just too expensive in this day and age. When I think of how much good software you can get for hardly any $, this is just too over-priced. And, they are cryptic, not trying to empower users anymore. Case in point:

    Using Excel, I could name a range, but there's NOWHERE in the menu to "un-name" a range. If you try to rename it just using the box in the upper-left to name the range, it just gives it an alias, without telling you. Also, you can't even see that the range has more than one name, or what it is. Luckily GOOGLE had my back, spitting out that I had to "ctrl+F3". CTRL+F#3!!! WHY IS THERE NO PHYSICAL WAY TO ACCESS THIS FUNCTIONALITY THAN TO PRESS CRYPTIC COMBOS OF KEYS??? I SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE! IT FEELS LIKE THEY MUST KNOW, CAUSE THEY DESIGNED IT, BUT THERE'S NO TRANSPARENCY. In the end, just underscores that users have an easier time getting help from a 3rd party software maker than Microsoft itself for their own software. That is how abysmally unhelpful Microsoft is, then expects you to pay >$400 for this stuff. There really isn't much innovative about it, as far as I'm concerned. So much money for what doesn't feel like much value. You could buy a whole netbook/laptop/ipod/tabletPC for this price!


    Not worth it.
    Not recommended.

    I have nothing to add to all those who have already remarked on the new policy of not offering an upgrade price. I just wanted to throw in my 'one star' to bring the overall rating even lower. I've been using Microsoft software since MSDos, but am SERIOUSLY looking at switching to a Mac and forsaking all MS products. Customer loyalty means nothing to them anymore.


    1 out of 5 stars Microsoft "help" not free and no help   August 3, 2010

    I recently purchased a new laptop with Microsoft Office 2010 pre-installed. When I tried to register the product using the Product Key (taken directly from the computer's label) the code was not accepted and I received an Invalid Product Key response. I called the computer manufacturer's help-line (Sony) and was told that this was a common problem with Microsoft Office 2010, and they referred me to Microsoft itself. For the next three days I tried to contact a Microsoft "help" tech, both through the internet and by telephone with what I thought would be a simple problem requiring a simple fix. But noooooo . . . Talk about being run around in circles. In the end my option was to either pay a Microsoft contracted help-line (OMNI) to "fix" the problem, or pay Microsoft directly ($39 / $49) to use their help-service in order to fix a problem with THEIR software. WARNING: if you have any problems with Microsoft software, beware. Unless you're willing to pay additional fees to fix problems with THEIR products you're SOL!!!


    5 out of 5 stars Excellent program suite.   August 2, 2010

    An individual who has already reviewed this discoursed on the first point I want to make; this is concerning the price.

    The price point is quite high, sure, but it's simply asinine to rate a product based on that. We can all see that this product is in excess of most peoples' budgets or simple comforts when it comes to a set of computer programs. All considered, however, this is about the product itself. It bothers me that this is so poorly rated because of this alone; relegated to proletariat-bourgeois drivel.

    That said, this 2010 rendition of Office Professional is excellent.

    Some say the almost intrusive formatting of the Word program are bothersome. Whilst I humbly disagree, having tinkered with the auto-features to my liking and ultimate benefit, anyone who doesn't find them valuable can simply turn them off. It's always difficult to guess what users will like in terms of overriding correction actions and the like - a roll of the dice, in fact - but for each of those that are cumbersome, there are some intuitive and great alike.

    Powerpoint is great, as always.

    Outlook is fantastic; I enjoy it dearly. Changes are subtle, but the concept is so well translated to the good that it's difficult to really improve (i.e. the Porsche 911 and it's many generational renditions). Still a great tool for organizing events, schedules in general, multiple email accounts, contacts, etc.

    I don't expect this to have really helped, but it's my two cents. A final word: if you have the 2007 Office Professional, I don't think it makes sense to spend the money on the 2010.

    *Excuse any syntactical errors, as I'm in a bit of a jam!
