 Dumbed down and harder to use July 29, 2007

The new ribbon design is supposed to make it easier to learn and use. It may be for some new users but for experienced users, it isn't. This version takes away some critical nuts & bolts customization features and many tasks now take longer to perform. This is not due to the learning curve, it is the inherent nature of the way the ribbon works. Once you are familiar with the program, nothing is faster than the old menu structure. If Microsoft added an option to allow users to choose between menus and ribbons, it would be the best of both worlds, satisfying the needs of both new and experienced users. The new version does not run macros as fast however. My recommedation for existing users: keep Office 2003 for as long as you can and consider going to Open Office when Microsoft no longer supports 2003 (unless they restore the functionality in a newer release of 2007).

I haven't found much worth upgrading for. It was difficult to find things with the new toolbars. I have used this product for over a year now and still can't find some things I want that I used to have readily available on the old tool bars. I think MS should have REAL PEOPLE test their products for ease of use rather than programmers or whatever they use. Wish they had help files that really helped.

I am a little disappointed in the upgrade to Microsoft Office as it is not user friendly nor is it as accommodating as the earlier version.
 Worst upgrade ever, stay away October 22, 2007

Sorry Microsoft, but your "ribbon" user interface is the most retarded upgrade feature ever. It renders all your Office applications useless. I have no interest spending hours to learn a completely different UI and to recustomize the toolbar all over again (I'm not even sure if it's even possible to customize the "ribbon"). The ribbon is ugly and WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY too big.
My advice: try to avoid upgrading for as long as possible.

The Code needed to activate the software did not work. I called Microsoft and they said that the product (which I bought as new) had a code for a product that should have been installed in a new computer. It should not have been sold as an off the shelf software. I returned the product for credit.
