 Change for the sake of change January 8, 2008
Neal F. Mather (DeWitt, NE United States)
I bought this because my Palm Pilot and new I Touch would not sync up with my older version of Outlook. The good news: they both synched up!
The bad news: There is a slew of new menus to learn to do the simplest of Word, Excel, or Power Pt functions. For example, the icon to open a file in Word or Excel is not displayed. You can add it to a teeny menu if you like (took a while to find that). Other menus are set. For instance in "Home" menu mode, half the menu is taken up with "Style." You can't get rid of it that I know of. Then there was that heart stopping moment when I did get to the open screen and found none of my old Word documents there. I had to select 1997-2003. Phew. Of course Word reminds me that I'm using that mode all the time.
I guess my point is: Was there an effort to make this compatible in format and use for the average user or was this designed for professional keyboarders?
Also, though I don't know if it's related, once "upgraded" to 2007, my Internet Explorer locks up constantly. Could it be the constant Windows desktop search indexing? Don't know. Could just be a coincidence. Maybe MS will work on the 100 error messages I've submitted over the past week.

The Code needed to activate the software did not work. I called Microsoft and they said that the product (which I bought as new) had a code for a product that should have been installed in a new computer. It should not have been sold as an off the shelf software. I returned the product for credit.
 Great job Microsoft December 11, 2007
Darby Shaw (Rice Lake, WI USA)
Office 2007 Upgrade is all I expected and more. Installed like a breeze. Works great. One thing my wife says, while typing email in Outlook, the screen lags somewhat behind the typing. She says not a problem for her. She's confident MS will correct the problem. Can not understand why some take issue with the software. I think it's great and a big step forward in office software tech. Hats off to Microsoft.

After all these years, the trolls in Redmond still have not learned how to produce user-friendly software. There was no reason to make the changes to Office that they've made; it was simply a way to justify an unnecessary upgrade that has turned out to be a downgrade. Users with a moderate understanding of how Office operated will find themselves flummoxed when attempting to do things they had finally learned how to do in the old version.
The much-vaunted ribbons are confusing and counter-intuitive. Microsoft addresses this problem by offering free self-paced trainng courses, apparently oblivious to the fact that time iS money, unless of course, it's Microsoft's time.
At the very least, one expects backward compatibility, that is unless you're dealing with Mr. Bill's minions. I loaded Word files created with Office XP, only to find the Office 2007 converted them with serious defects, like inserting tabs in all paragraphs whenever you inserted one in a single paragraph. And, of course, if you delete a tab stop from one paragraph, you delete it from all of them.
Useless.
Finally a decent upgrade to Office November 22, 2007

This new version of office has it all. Finally all the promise that we had heard was coming is here. In general all the apps are much improved. My only negative is that outlook takes a long time to start up and needs lots of memory. If you can deal with that, this is a huge improvement over previous versions.
Right out of the box you are going to have to get used to the ribbon interface but once you get it down, it is much quicker than the old way.
Most of the naysayers here are anti microsoft anyway so pay them no mind. If I worked at Sun or Apple I would probably badmouth microsoft all the time too. But I do not and I don't work for Microsoft, so I just use the software, and this was a great upgrade.
The best part of it was the publisher upgrade which is a huge improvement over the last version of publisher. I use it all the time for making flyers, postcards, invitations etc.
Excel, Word and all the others have been commented on by tons of people, but almost noone talks about Publisher. In this version it really is a competitive piece of software to the basic and even some of the advanced Adobe tools. If you could edit PDFs natively that would be great, but because ADOBE is a monopoly, you are stuck overpaying them to edit pdfs. Anyway, you can create pdf files in publisher and save them, which is all anyone really needs.
