 something missing May 12, 2008

I bought this software for a relative in another state because her trial period had expired. I could not install Outlook 2007, even though I paid for it because it is grayed out on the install cd. I sent email to people regarding this and was told I should contact the place I purchased it from, but nothing has been resolved. It was not cheap and I was not pleased.
 Office Professional 2007...save your money! April 29, 2008

I have been using Office 2007 Professional on my corporate laptop running XP for a few months now and I must say it is the worst version yet. It is extremely irritating to me for companies to change so drastically the user interface to the point that you have to totally re-learn the product. I am working here...don't have time to re-learn staples such as word processors, spreadsheets, and databases. Jeesh! Give me a break Microsoft! In addition, I think it has to be the buggiest version yet. It is also a huge problem transferring important files to clients who are still on the older versions of Office...that part alone has been a disaster. If you have time to piddle around re-learning...buy it. If you have to work for a living...save yourself the money!
I miss Office 2003; I used to be productive April 26, 2008

Along with many others, I'm a longtime user of the Office Toolsuite. I had hoped that the latest release would boost productivity and would automate common tasks. It's unfortunate that it did neither. Even with top of the line hardware, this Office Suite is incredibly clumsy. Programs like Powerpoint take over a minute to save and close out, common tasks require more hunting in the "ribbon" than anything ever took in a menu driven system. Luckily, there's still a sliver of an area where you can add customized buttons to get some functionality back. There is no way to switch back to a "non-ribbon" driven system in case you are curious.
The equation editor, a feature I use quite a bit, has been reduced to non-sense and has become nearly unusable. Gone is the ability for you to move the editor box close to your working area on the page, instead, you constantly have to scroll to the top of the page to enter the equation components. Gone is the ability to use superscript, subscripts, integrals, etc.. in the editor with a highlight and select. After selection, your cursor is placed outside the component field and you have to click to get back in. Trying to use the keyboard to move around may close the equation editor completely. Luckily, Equation editor 3 is still available if you can find the "insert object" icon in the ribbon bar.
Object Linking and Embedding has been reduced to a monster chore. You must wait forever to move objects between applications, and you have to click a dialog box to retry on top of that, and wait even more. Many of the other complaints have been well documented so I won't bother going through them. In short, this is most certainly not an upgrade. It is bloated, has worst features not better, it is painfully slow, and worst of all, not intelligently thought out in terms of automating or speeding up tasks. Unfortunately, MS Office is the standard used everywhere so switching to other toolsuites is not trivial. However, do yourself a favor and wait for a better version than 2007. This one is definitely not worth your hard earned money.

Works as advertised, a little glitch on install, you have to remove the trial version first (if you are running one). While a little bit of a learning curve for old windows users its feature set and look and feel are an improvement. Also pretty snappy while running Vista Business.

When this software was first released, I heard a lot of complaints about the new user interface. I bought this software just before my trial period ended, and I must say that I have no problem with the new interface. I use Word, Access, and Excel mostly, and I really much prefer the new interface to the old. Performance wise, I have not had any problems with these, or with PowerPoint. The only problem I have come across is with Outlook, but it is the same problems I have always had with Outlook. I don't really like the way they redesigned the user interface on it; but it is configurable so I don't worry about it much. I would strongly advise against upgrading any existing Outlook Express programs when installing Outlook. By choosing "don't upgrade" you are not causing any problem with your computer. When I chose to upgrade Outlook Express, I either lost all the mail I had stored in it, or it is stored someplace that I have not yet been able to find. Microsoft Office Professional 2007 FULL VERSIONI am enjoying my new software tremendously.
