Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Reviews

A few months ago we saw a preview of Office 2007 during a Tech conference at work and I volunteered to pilot it before they released it company wide.  I absolutely love it!  The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because of the three reasons I listed below.  I believe everyone knows what Excel, Word, and Powerpoint are, so I'm just going to list some of my favorite new features instead of tell you all about it.

On the Downside:

1. I know some people who aren't very computer savvy are going to have a hard time adjusting
2. There is a slower load time with all the programs now.  Sometimes it's real...

In many ways, I agree with the writers of other reviews of Office 2007. It is definitely bloated and there is a steep learning curve for users who have experience with Office. On the other hand, I have seen people who are not Office-philes get going very quickly. Once you learn where something is on the ribbon, you find that the tasks you are going to do at that time are all on the same ribbon tab. Productivity increases and dogs and cats sleep together (okay, so I made the last part up).

I will also state that I, as a long time Office user, had difficulty with Office 2007 at first. In fact, I still...

I live in Outlook 2007. With this software and our Exchange Server I can share calendars with all my on-site technicians - stay up to date on where they are and what they are doing in the fireld as they update their calendars on their pda's. Scheduling adn simpler and e-mail is even more functional. Search functions have been improved to.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 lets you drag between calendar days and color-code tasks/e-mails on its calendar. The color coding allows for easier to loacte visual items. Outlook 2007 integrates with other Office software wonderfully - this is something Microsoft...

With all the other products out there this one is a workable version of "something" until something better comes along. All software is going to become obsolete however this software will last a long time for a person. I am not one to jump at the first signs of something new from microsoft.

This software will have support for at least five more years before a new generation. It as a program covers a wide variety of functions needed for basic publishing and internet.

I like it because I am familiar with other Windows programs so stepping into this software as a new user was no problem. I also like...

Microsoft Office 2007 is definitely NOT for the faint of heart!  For those of us who have virtually grown up with the Office Suite since its and our own inception, this version is not just an upgrade, in fact, the products feel like a totally new package!

NONE of the standard menus are available anymore, I find that it freuquently crashes and then restarts (memory issues, probably), and then what's REALLY annoying, is the obligatory browser that suddenly appears after every crash containing several free form text boxes wanting me to inform MicroSoft of what went wrong!

 On the bright side, once...

My office recently upgraded to the new Microsoft Office 2007 Professional.  I find it extremely hard to use.  There are so many differences between the new version and the old.  Very difficult to navigate.  I hope when Microsoft comes out with a new version, it will incorporate more of the prior versions.

Microsoft Office 2007 Professioal is a complete office suite.  It is integrated so that you can use multiple programs within a project.  Easy to use and the results are great.
