Just when you thought you knew everything about MS Office.

Advantages: Powerful with lots of features
Disadvantages: Backward compatibility, a challenge for users of previous versions of MS Office and the Price

...styles of previous versions of Microsoft Office, then you will find this version more than a little like hard work to transition to. Microsoft's reasoning is to group menu and toolbar features in 'logical' groups that better suit the way you work, if you are new to Microsoft Office this does work very well, if not there is a lot of 'un-learning' to be done! Saying that now, it does have many useful additions such as the option to 'Save to PDF' ...
...SharePoint, if you work in that environment. It is worth noting that the native document format for Office 2007 is XML based, this simply means that users of earlier versioons of Office will not be able to read your documents unless they have downloaded and install the MS Office compatibility pack. Overall I would say the suit is very powerful, quite easy to learn as new user but quite expensive, especially if your requirements are quite basic ...

Review of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007

You need a course to work with...

Advantages: You may see the changes immediatly without clicking
Disadvantages: From the begining you loose the speed of your work

I have Microsoft Office Standard 2007 on my PC for two months. Software development is my job. In most of the cases I don't need much time to undrestand how some software is working but with Microsof Office 2007 ...... When I saw for the first time Microsoft Word 2007 I was really suprised. I didn't find how to Save my file. Microsoft developed a new conception about their products and I really can't understand why. I don't have time and willingness ...
...is that you don't have the drop down menus. There are eight tabs in which are collected the functions. The tabs are: Home, Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailings, Review, View, Add-Ins. Guess where is "Count words" for example. Unfortunately the name of the tabs are not the same as were the name of the menus and you don't know what is where. When you want to save your file, you don't click on File and after that on Save but you click on an icon ...

Review of Microsoft Office Standard 2007

A more attractive office

Advantages: Vastly improved interface & security
Disadvantages: memory requirement

Having installed Office 2003 a little under a year ago, my first impression was that it was slow and clunky. It turns out that I needed more RAM in the system, so poped in another 512Mb and the speed is no longer an issue. I was very pleased with the look and feel of the package, which i felt was a vast improvement on previous versions. In particular, Outlook 2003 has many improved features such as the way emails are grouped by date, with the ability ...
...you want to see at any given time. Enhanced junk filters and security features keep your emails and machines safe from email based bugs and trackers. Any bugs or trackers are blocked on receipt, before they have a chance to share information about you. The whole package shares a common look and feel, while still retaining the familiar layout , toolbars and menus. Access to online help directly from any of the applications is a bonus when your are ...

Review of Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 Complete package

Small changes can be good - big changes less so

Advantages: Better integration more consistent options
Disadvantages: Unfamiliar

Microsoft Office has been a top selling professional desktop package for more years than many of us care to recall. At one time you bought a spreadsheet from a spreadsheet company, a database from another, a word processor from a third and so on. In the 1990s that all changed, and after a series of acquisitions and mergers it basically boiled down to making a choice between Microsoft Office, with Word, Excel, Outlook etc or IBM with WordPro, Lotus ...
...Use’ licence – this means Microsoft are willing to let employees of large organisations use the latest software for little more than the media and distribution costs. Most big employers will be running earlier versions of office, and this is a way of ensuring when they eventually DO get around to installing the 2007 version, a sufficiently large user-base will have built up skills at home to take the changes in their stride. Which neatly introduces ...
