Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft Office Standard 2007 FULL VERSION

- Dumbed down and harder to use
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).

- New face, new goodies.
It takes about a week to get familiar with the new menus of Office 2007. But the new features of Office are worth it.

Here are some highlights:

Word can now save your document to PDF without purchasing Acrobat as a separate install.

Word allows you to visually preview a style on a section or paragraph of your document before you permanently apply it. Great for designing on-the-fly layouts.

Print quality of a document seems to be a lot snazzier making it look like I had a professional layout artist add finishing touches.

Importing Excel tables into Acces is a lot faster and more intuitive.
I receive business data from our agents which I move into Access before loading into SQL Server 2005. Yup, Access is my Swiss knife-of-choice to handle normalizing all forms of biz info before uploading into SQL server.

All these tools work flawlessly in our Vista professional environment. And if you're like me who's worked over 20 years on Wall Street, accurate data and effective communication is priceless.

Office 2007 allows me to achieve this goal.

- Redesigned user interface means you'll need to relearn Office
In Office 2007, Microsoft has apparently decided that the idea of menus is outdated, so they've eliminated them and replaced them with the "ribbon". While at first this seems easier to use, it will require you to relearn how to do everything in Office.

Want to insert a cross reference in Word? Hmm, well, I used to do that using the menus, now I have to hunt through all the annoying ribbon items to see if I can figure out where they've moved it. Plus, unlike the menus, you have no ability to determine what the shortcut key is.

Maybe I can search for it in the help system. Searching for "insert cross reference" returns no useful hits. (Although it does seem to be quite good at finding information about templates which I never use). How is it that they can make help so useless??

Plus, if you don't like the ribbon, there's no way of configuring it to use menus instead. You're stuck with it.

I commend Microsoft for attempting to increase usability, but this new feature certainly doesn't make me any more productive. It seems to be change for the sake of change.

If you're thinking of upgrading or buying this new, keep in mind that you'll essentially have to relearn how to use each application. Things that you've known how to do for years will now be useless.

Stay with an earlier version if you can.

- A huge disappointment
While I personally use WordPerfect Suite 8, the best office suite ever programmed, for reports and writing projects, I keep a version of Microsoft Office to be compatible with my clients, and for Outlook and PowerPoint (both of which are decent programs). I decided with my new computers to move up from Office 2000 to the current version. I wish now I had bought Office 2003. Each component of Office 2007 is slow to load, slow to respond, just plain slow to do anything. The interface in not intuitive and I have to search for the old familiar functions. I am using XP Pro, so that may be an issue regarding startup speed, and yes, the computer hardware in a few years will improve to the point even this dog will appear fast.

Being a user of WordPerfect since 1985 and WordPerfect Office since its beginning I have encountered "improved" suites for both Word and WordPerfect office that actually were less functional and more buggy than the predecessor. The new programmers, using the latest and greatest programming language and methods, think that they have produced the be all and end all version, with latest jazzy snazzy interface. (This applies to WordPerfect office as well, which is why I use the Win95 era Version 8 rather than the latest.) But often they produce abominations, such as Office 2007.

So buyer beware, it is indeed a dog, at least when using XP Pro, and an ugly dog at that (considering the interface). If I hadn't already spent the money, I would give OpenOffice another try. The "user experience" surely cannot be worse, and may even be better ... and it is certainly not overpriced.

Last, I really have to wonder ... do the people that develop and oversee these software projects actually use their own product ... I mean rigorously use the software. If so, how could they let such products ship? Or does Microsoft simply not care, since they virtually own the market.

If this is useful to anyone I will be surprised, but at least I feel better. Now to a cup of coffee while I wait for Excel to load.

Best Office Microsoft is yet to put out. Being a Microsoft Partner can honestly say this is a full product.
