Summary: Smart Purchase
Comment: I was not happy that I would have to update Microsoft Word when I made the jump from my XP machine (still using Office 2000) to a laptop with Vista. I have absolutely no regrets. The 2007 version is intuitive enough for my ten year old to use, and I actually like this version of Word better than the 2000 version. It was well worth the investment for the home/student version.

Word 2007 is very intuitive and it is making my work much more effective

Summary: Big changes in interface from previous version
Comment: I, like most people, have used Microsoft Office products for years and am quite comfortable and familiar with the Menu setup. In this 2007 version, you can still do everything you've done before (plus some new formatting features), but the interface and menu layout have gone through a major overhaul...it definitely takes some getting used to. Also, while there is not a feature to change the interface back to the 2003 version, you can save documents as 2003 documents, which you may have to do frequently since many people and businesses have not yet switched over.

Summary: Annoying Changes to the Interface
Comment: Like it or not, these are the standards, so you have to have them, right? Over the years I've grown to learn how to navigate the features and foibles of Word and Excel. They were clunky at times, but I learned them and had them working well for me. Now it's radically different. They are harder to personalize, harder to use, and I have to learn them all over again. I've been using Word and Excel '07 for about a year now, and they are still frustrating. What I liked about the '03 versions was that I chose the icons for the commands I wanted and then had menus that I was familiar with to drop down and use. Now the icons are teeny tiny and I have to go searching for stuff that I only use once in awhile. If the ribbons were customizable, they might be handy -- but they're not. I find them counterintuitive -- especially when I'm looking for something that I used to know how to find instantly. Hmmmm... where did they put that thing?
Yes it's a reasonable price for such potentially powerful software. Yes I understand you can put it on 3 computers. OK, I will figure out how to make it feel fluid again eventually. Do i have a choice? I will obey. I will be absorbed. Grrrrrrrr........
