 MS Office 2007 June 9, 2008

It is not stable on Vista. Word often shuts down. Plus you can no longer do "save as" from Word. That adds a few more keystrokes for certain duplicative type of Word products.
Good old office but BAD new look June 6, 2008

I love all the Microsoft applications however with the new layout it is much harder to use and navigate. The 2002 version with drop down lists works so much better. This new version has lots of toolbars with icons to click. That I Hate.

Look, the fact is that once you get used to things, office 2007 has a lot of features that are easier to use and in many ways is a huge upgrade from 2003. However (and you knew this had to be coming), there are a tremendous number of bugs. I mean like crash your system bugs. Today's latest bug is that mail merge doesn't work right. It gets halfway through and then bombs out. So now I have to go back to 2003 to actually do a mail merge. There is also really strange behavior on some of the charts in excel. For instance, I tried to add confidence intervals to a line chart and that made excel crash. Not to mention the fact that the whole way that excel charts work is unintuitive now.
I think that someday this will be a good product - but what you are buying is the beta version. They should be letting people test this for free - rather than making you pay $300 to be a tester for them. My advice, wait for them to fix the bugs (which is really the best advice whenever you buy a microsoft product).

I recently bought a new laptop, and the changeover involved an "upgrade" to Office 2007. I was aware that there was a new user interface, but was not aware that Office 2007 is, in almost every respect, an INFERIOR product to any Office version that came before it!
I have used MS Office for many years, and am what could be called a "power user," especially for Word and Powerpoint, which I use weekly.
One of the great features of Office is that it has been totally customizable. For those who use office frequently, it has been easy to create your own custom toolbars so you have what you need easily available. Most tasks could be done with one or two mouse clicks... Until Office 2007!
In Office 2007, hardly anything is customizable! You have a constantly changing tool ribbon, which takes up a lot of screen real estate.
The ribbon presents a set of icons based on what it "thinks" you will need at the moment. It is rarely right! ... so you go searching through the tabs trying to find the icon that was on the ribbon a few moments earlier! There is one small "tool bar" up on the title bar that you CAN customize, but it is not convenient, and will not hold many icons. It has the option of being moved below the ribbon, which takes up even more screen real estate, but is still very limited, and cannot be docked or moved from there.
Granted, there are third party programs, such as Ribbon Customizer and Toolbar Toggle, that add back some of the ability to customize, but it is still far inferior to what Office users are used to!
Even the third party programs, however, cannot get around the fact that there are some features in earlier Office versions that are simply NOT included in the new one. In previous versions of Powerpoint, you could add a set of icons that, with one mouse click, allowed you to adjust the vertical spacing of text. That has been omitted in 2007. In the "improved" 2007 version, you must open a dialog box, and make several mouse clicks to adjust vertical spacing!
To make matters worse, Office 2007 documents are not compatible with earlier versions. After spending years establishing formats such as .doc and .ppt as industry standards, Microsoft has introduced a version of office that does not use these formats! If you want to send a document to someone who still has Office 2003 (or any other program that reads .doc files) you need to remember to save it in that format. The default 2007 format cannot be opened by earlier versions!
Office 2007 CAN open the older formats, but even in opening earlier Office formats, there are problems. For example, most users of Powerpoint have learned the trick of adding drop shadows behind the text to make the text stand out on the screen. Office 2007 has changed the way these shadows are formed. When you open a powerpoint presentation made on an earlier version, your old drop shadows WILL NOT ANIMATE with the text. When a slide appears, the shadows of the letters are already in place, and the letters animate in on top! Mircosoft's only suggestion... go through your slides and take the old shadows out, and put new shadows in! (I tried this... it takes 30-40 minutes per presentation! ...And I have hundreds of powerpoint presentations in my file!)
For someone who never used Office before, or who just uses Word to type simple letters, 2007 may be okay, but for anyone who depends on Office for detailed tasks and productivity, 2007 is a nightmare.
I have always loved Microsoft Office. It has been an industry standard for ease of use. In my opinion, that is no longer the case. I believe Microsoft tried to produce something "different" to attract new users, but in the process totally ignored the needs of those who have used their products in the past. If you have the option of staying with an earlier version, DO NOT UPGRADE to this product!

I am still learning all the features with this product and it amazes me how it will see the font you have & when you choose the font you want it in, it automatically resizes it for you! WONDERFUL product! Everyone is still behind in having 2003 but am so glad I got the 2007 edition!
