Being a student I use Microsoft Office a lot. I couldn't wait to get the new Microsoft Office as soon as it had come out because I was starting to feel that the old version was rather tired.
The installation was simple and upon opening any of the included programs I found a face-lifted, bright and new interface. But upon closer inspection a lot of the programs have nothing new about them and those that do, mainly Microsoft Word, have been bogged down with what seems like hundreds of buttons. This seriously hinders use. In my point of view the control changes in Microsoft Word especially are so different to the 1997 version that it is hard to get the hang of using the programme.
The most frustrating aspect of the Microsoft Office 2007 is that going between the 1997 version and the 2007 version with documents is awkward. The 2007 version has the option to save the document in the 97 format but you cannot open it in the 97 version unless you remember to do this. But sometimes this transition ruins the layout of the documents.
In all I think this product is reliable and usable, but slightly expensive for nothing more than an eye-pleasing interface. In hindsight I would have just stuck to the 1997 version of Microsoft Office, as I feel this new version has nothing extra to offer.
I hope you find this helpful.
