 Office 2007 - big mistake April 11, 2007

I excitedly upgraded to Office 2007....'07 Outlook is FAR slower - ties my reasonably powerful machine up in knots (110% of resources) for minutes at a time inexplicably; spell ck doesn't work consistently; HTML emails have lost functionality I used to use often with 2003 ver; Excel opens MUCH more slowly; no real gains in Excel fuctionality; various add-ins essential to my biz no longer work in Excel 2007; Access 2007 was billed as much easier to use - FALSE; Word has a couple of improvements but messes up spell ck with Outlook if you keep both Word 2003 & 2007 on yr machine; the highly touted "Ribbon" is mainly cosmetic; I believe 2007's indexing is at the heart of some of sluggisness which might be ok if it worked..but it retruns strange results....NET, NET, I am uninstalling Office 2007 and going back to 2003 with all its stupid faults....it's too bad no one at MSFT actually uses thier products to realize how defective they are.
 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.
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.
 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.
 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.
