 Experiences with Office 2007 July 26, 2007
G. DelGrosso (USA)
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am finding the learning curve from previous versions of Office to Office 2007 to be very difficult. I should mention that I have not been a heavy user of the individual pieces over the years,just as needed for business support. However, with previous versions I had become accustommed to where to find needed functions from the menus. With the change to ribbons I cannot seem to find much of anything with any consistency. I find that the fucntionalities that I normally use seem harder to find, and from one session to another, I can't seem to remember what I had to do to get there the last time. At this point I feel I would gladly trade 2007 for the previous version if I knew it would run without problems on Vista (and be supported for as long as 2007). I find View and Insert to be particularly annoying. I do a lot of work where I make a copy of a document and change the header/footer to refelect a new period. The only way I have found I can do this is go to the Insert ribbon, choose Header/Footer (which in Excel tells me I have to lose my freeze panes). Then, after I make my changes I have to go to View and select Normal to get out of the Header/Footer view.
I don't personally as yet see the great advantage to ribbons vs. menus. It just seems to add another layer tothe things I use. Hopefully I will learn to use before they change it again.
Few new features for the price of the upgrade July 29, 2007

Product By Product
Outlook - rehashed 2003 version cleaner looking some features are better for power users - day to day - I don't see the benifit. I continue to get better results searching Outlokk emails with Google Desktop than with the built in search in Outlook - why does MS have such a hard time with this? There is still the quirky seperate email adress book seperate from contacts. MS needs to integrate them in such a way the email adresses are gleened from the contact list and added to inline complete without the need for sending an initial email to the contact, at which point Outlook adds the email address (not the contact) to some mystery location that shows it sell when you are using auto complete.
Excell - Very nice upgrade especially for conditional formatting - updating data from the internet is much smoother and easier to maintain than in 2003. Better. If you are a power user - this is essential.
Access - same old program different face - since 2000 I might add.
Powerpoint - pretty much the same - but I must admit I rarely use this program
Word - I enjoy a lot of the new features - getting used to the ribbon was a hard concept - I was very used to the menu system. - Once you are used to it the ribbon IS intuitive and makes using word more like a graphics program.
Publisher - I have always used publisher (although I have the feeling that Adobe has more than one program that can do a better job than this one) There are just a handfull of upgrades such as reformatting an entiredocuments theme smoothly that I like - once again I do not use this program often enough to tell you to base a decision on my review of publisher alone.
Accounting Express - ugggg - Quickbooks is the only way to go for me - this looks like a lame attemt for MS to piggyback (way too late I might add) on the sucess of this program...If you are using Quicken or Quickbooks at this time - stick with it - if you are a pioneer and want to trudge through the learning curve with Microsoft - well good luck.
 Crash, Lose Work, Repeat... March 6, 2007

You've gotta love Microsoft. They must spend more time protecting their monopoly than preparing their products properly before release. I have the hardware to run this suite and I installed it on a clean Win XP SP2 system. All patches and updates are current.
Excel crashes constantly and I lose all my work (in spite of setting up to auto-save every 2 minutes). It wastes a lot of time. The number of "error reports" that my machine automatically sends every time Office encounters an problem must be huge. Here's an error report, Microsoft: If its BROKE, don't ship it!
 The Ribbon is cool June 26, 2007

As a long time Office user, it was an easy transistion to Office2007. The big attaction was the ribbon. It puts tools for a task right in front of you. And these tools change as the document changes depending upon what you are doing. It does add some cool formating and other features not found in the previous version, but the real reason to upgrade is useabliity. I have found it to be useful. Could you do without it? Sure, upgrading just makes life a little easier.
 Exceed expectations and great features February 6, 2007

The Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Upgrade was well worth the money, and of course cheaper than you can purchase at a store. I especially like the upgrades to the microsoft outlook and word; however, I haven't found a feature to stump me and I refuse to read directions.
Great functionality and enourmous upgrades to professionalize your documents, and easy to covert.
