 Business Contact Manager is Great! February 1, 2007

This version of Office is truely a time saver and a productivity tool. No more ACT!ing up for me or SalesHorceing around. Business Contact Manager is for anyone that needs to manager a large number of contacts and opportunities with those contacts. Awesome job on the interface from someone that was very, very cynical about whether this product would be a true inprovement. I am now going to recommended it to the rest of my staff.
 Not worth a penny!!! February 11, 2007

MS Office 2007 is the worst Microsoft product ever develpoed. I would like to use Excel 2007 as an example to explain my point of view:
1) The so-called "Ribbon" is so tall that it occupies almost a quarter of my notebook screen, further more, you get status bar and task bar, NOT MUCH SPACE LEFT for you to work in. The thumnail in the ribbon is not nearly as nice as those pop-up windows in older versions.
2) When you try to change a line style in a graph, this version update the entire screen instead of a sample-view in the pop-up window, thus, comsuming a lot of CPU power and slows down computer tremendously. You really need to upgrade your hardware to run office 2007.
3) If you have multiple data sets (say 10 sets) in a graph and you want to change the data range, you'll find that it's a big headache to do so in version 2007, because you have to pop up new windows 10 times instead of once in older version.
4) When open my old Excel files in this version, all VBA codes got lost.
5) Overall, the Office 2007 has a new look but much worse performance. I would not spend a penny for this junk!!!
UGH!! Get it away from me!!! February 21, 2007

1 star is far too high for this junk.
I installed it this morning. The screens were blurry and hard to read. I used to be able to read my email from halfway across the room. Now I have to squint and get up close. Everything is low contrast, the fonts are blurry, the menus are byzantine at best. From an useability standpoint we were better off with WORDSTAR. After a few painful hours trying to figure out how too make the software minimally useable I've uninstalled it and am reinstalling 2003. Even if I lose all my settings and old emails, it will be worth it. Heck, it would be worth it to roll all the way back to DOS to avoid this ill-conceived piece of junk.
For the record, I've got a high-powered machine with dual high quality monitors, this isn't a hardware issue. If I display Office 2007 on the right monitor and something else on the left, I can easily read the left monitor, but not the stuff from Office on the right. This happens even when the fonts are smaller on the left monitor.
 Excellent Upgrade June 1, 2007

Good or not, office, particularly word is installed on about 90% of all desktops. Word, Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint have become the standard.
Having said that, Office 2007 is really an excellent upgrade.
For the first time, in Word, i find the options that i need to do my job.
The "ribbon" after a day or two is a big step forward.
The graphics, and the resizing of pictures and all images are excellent.
I am now moving beyond just producing document, and now producing really good looking documents.
Office 2007 stability has been good, no significant bugs.
This is a good product upgrade. And i guess $250 after five years of Office 2003 is reasonable.
Office 2007 is even easy to install.
I like this product.
 Steep learning curve July 4, 2007

I deeply regret Microsoft Office Professional 2007 UPGRADEupgrade. The new ribbon means that I have to completely relearn commands that I have used effortlessly for years. Some users find the ribbon to be intuitive; to me it is cluttered and obscure. It has become a game in my office, when we are searching the first time for a command, to see whose guess will lead us to the hidden treasure. Unfortunately, in our intensely busy, deadline-driven office, we don't have time for this.
Especially disappointing is the lame Help, which I have finally abandoned. I've had to resort to Google-searches for the commands I need.
The only way I have been able to get any work done in Word or Excel is through the prior version's keystroke commands, which are still built in. But you have to know the entire series of keystrokes.
I feel betrayed by Microsoft. Such a sudden and dramatic change with so little support for users of prior versions has slowed my work to a crawl.
You would probably like Office 2007 if you are new to Office, if you tend to use just the basics or if you really like exploring new software. If you have invested a lot in using prior versions and just want to get your work done, be prepared to lose a lot of time. Either way, I strongly recommend downloading a trial version before buying it.
