much slower than Office 2003 May 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
A typical Excel/VBA program of mine takes just over 8 min to run under Office 2003 on an Athlon 64 1.79Hz pc with 1GB RAM. The identical program takes 5 min LONGER under Office 2007 on a faster Intel duo-core T8100 with 3 GB RAM. One can get used to the new toolbar layout etc, but this slower performance is there to stay.
 Stick with Office XP or 2003 May 7, 2008

HEADACHE, CONFUSED!!!!
HOW MUCH DID I PAY TO GET THIS HEADACHE??????????????????
80!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I might be exdurating a little. If you have Office XP or Office 2003 STICK WITH IT. PLEASE, both of those versions are simiar and don't give you a headache.
What is good about it? Why are there good reviews? Why are Microsoft putting it on shelves for innocent people to buy? And for PC shops to sell this to them? I don't get it.
One of the most annoying pieces of software I've ever come across. April 2, 2008

You might've expected, as did I, that Microsoft Office 2007 would be a large improvement over 2003. Easier to use, clearer, stylish, new tools which allow you to create a great website/presentation/word document, but 2007 is terrible. The main thing that annoys me is the format of word documents has been changed to docx. I'm forced to use Microsoft Office 2007 in school as every computer has been upgraded, (thankfully they still run on XP).
I for some reason cannot download any type of "file converter" as it just simply doesn't work. Microsoft Office 2003 has done me perfectly fine for years, except for the annoying "create your drawing here" box. And the fact it crashes. I assumed Microsoft would have taken into consideration all the point their customers made and done something about it.
No.
MO2007 crashes a lot more than 2003, it's slow to run on less modern computers, you can never find any of the tools you need, you can't select an ordinary text box without altering it's properties which really is annoying, it's too expensive for what it actually is, the toolbar at the top looks disgusting, and it would be very difficult to use if you were new to using computers or not very experienced.
Microsoft really do need to go back to basics with this. Office 2007 is meant to look like Vista, but Vista looks horrid anyway so why bother?
It's slow, annoying, crashes too often, it probably takes up too much HDD space, way too expensive for what it is and I wouldn't recommend it.
Stick to Office 2003.
Or buy a different word processing package.

probably like most people who have used microsoft office from inception, the new visuals and file menus of the 2007 version initially jarred with me.
however, after a long period of use, they all make sense. menu items likely to be used first are to the left, most are in the middle, and the finishing off ones are to the right, in logical, intuitive fashion. once this is grasped the whole system is easy to pick up.
i also like the ease of use too. some have complained that we now are forced to use more mouse clicks. i don't find this to be true. indeed, on many occasions the options are laid out so obviously that two clicks do instead of five or six. e.g., especially in formatting tables.
one of the best things about word 2007 is its ability (with a tiny downloadable add-on) to save documents in .pdf format. previously i had had to have the entire open office suite on my computer just to do this one simple task. now i don't have to.
office 2007, in particular word 2007, KNOWS how to layout the menu commands. in previous versions, command buttons would frequently be lost off the right-hand side of the screen. word 2007 keeps the important buttons and, if your screen size is smaller (say, you have a 15" monitor) the "sacrificed" buttons will be the style buttons, which are still easily accessible via a drop-down menu.
a useful new feature: selecting text with similar formatting. just put cursor on, say, a word already italicised. then select all text with similar formatting. now you can change all text in italics to bold. a simple and easy way to do something that previously was time consuming and awkward.
another thing: creating and editing charts just got a whole lot easier. the process is so intuitive (or perhaps previous versions of word were counter-intuitive) that it's difficult to make a mistake.
oh, and a last thing, why would you actually pay MORE for word 2007 alone when the office 2007 package is CHEAPER?
would i buy it again? absolutely!

If you wish to stick in the past where you know how everything works then use 03, but if you actually want to progress into the pressent then start using 07. Yeah you'll have to re-learn commands, but the fact is that it is a much better program than the 03. Personally i used word a lot and due to the fact that im studying maths at uni the equation function, quite frankly, is a god send in the new 07 version. In the earlier 03 you were required to actually re-install word manually to choose to install that actual aspect. The userface is easier to use.
People seem to just rate it one star for a simple reason..it doesnt look like 03. Isn't that the point? Learn.
Another point people are saying is it crashes easier or that it's hard to install, trying using a pc with higher specifications. It works seamlessly on my laptop.
