Rating:  - 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. Rating:  - TerribleWord 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. Rating: - Office 2007 is a productivity black holeIf 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 who have invested thousands of hours over many years mastering Excel, Word, PowerPoint and other software staples. I have not noticed the problem with Word so much... how hard can one make typing, after all? But new Excel is a productivity disaster. Does the Microsoft brain trust honestly believe that users hunt around with their mouse to execute spreadsheet commands? The "ribbon" seems well-suited for that purpose and little else. Any keystroke commands or muscle memory that you may have developed over the past two decades... forget about them. Need to put together a last-minute graph? Order out because you are not going to finish before dinner. Whoever made the decision to NOT provide legacy keystroke support should have their head examined. I sincerely hope we can look forward to a service pack release to bring back "Office Classic." Office 2007 may include features that, some day, I will come to appreciate. But unless and until I find a need for them, I am downgrading. Rating:  - This was a good deal for meNeeded 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.
