 How do I open the box? April 25, 2008

I am a fairly well educated person who is handy around the house. It took a 25 minute call with Microsoft customer support to get the box open. Customer support had to pull up a diagram and walk me through 18 steps.
 I won't be upgrading to Office 2007 now... April 13, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
The company I work for has upgraded to Office 2007, so I figured I'd upgrade at home to be compatible. After reading all the reviews here, I've decided to wait and not upgrade at home until I have to - hoping maybe with all these issues, my employer will call a halt and go back to 2003!
I've used Office 2007 at the office for about 2 weeks now, and after getting used to the new Ribbon feature, I actually like the new interface. I agree with one review here that said the ribbon is too large, though. It would be nice to be able to resize it.
The major reason I am not upgrading at home is all the reports of Office 2007 being slow, and corrupting files created in Version 2003. I have been having these problems at work, but thought the issues were due to a network problem. The most annoying slow problem is pasting things from one document to another, even within the same application (Word to Word or Excel to Excel). It's not just a little slow... it is agonizingly slow! I have taken to moving on to other tasks while I wait for Word or Excel to paste, and then go back to the document later. I'm relieved to know this isn't actually our company's network problem, but it has convinced me NOT to upgrade at home.
As far as the file corruption problem, I have experienced having to reformat bullets and other things due to the new interface in a few small files, but shudder at the scale of the time it will take for my larger files. I pity my employer having to pay for my extra time wasted in this kind of clean up work. I have also experienced the problems mentioned with Outlook not being able to recognize your email folders. Again I thought this was a network problem at the office, and didn't realize it was the Office 2007 upgrade doing it. I plan to back up all my email folders as soon as I get to work on Monday as I dread having a glitch and losing all my saved emails!
The other annoying thing about the new Outlook interface is something also previously mentioned here - the change in use and display of "flags" and "categories". In 2003 I had an extensive system set up using the various flag colors, which is now completely lost due to the color system being moved from flags to categories. ARGH!!!!!
Thanks to the reviewers here for your input and giving me the benefit of your trials and tribulations with the software.
Completely unbelievable! April 7, 2008

I bought this product because I needed a new laptop and of course it has the awful Vista on it. I haven't even tried to tackle anything other than Outlook yet and I'm already completely fed up. I spent many hours trying to find solutions for all of the glitches Outlook has and it still doesn't work. I'm having problems with it that people have had for over a year and it's still not working properly. If I could return everything I just purchased and buy an Apple, I would.
 Great product April 5, 2008

I love the new Office product. Yes...I've had some of the 'advertised' problems with it, but they are all easily fixable and the new look and productivity of this new program makes it very much worth every penny. I love Amazon and their shipping quickness along with their professional conduct, over the web and phone. I've used them many times in the past and plan to use them more in the future.
 MS Standard Office 2007 Upgrade April 5, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 Upgrade The product was delivered to my home in a few days after making my purchase. I used the free shipping option. The product was easier to install than the directions stated. It said if you were upgrading from Microsoft Works, you would need to visit Microsoft's Website to complete the upgrade. It installed with no hassle and went through the registration process after keying in the product key. The product works great. MS Outlook in 2007 has very easy to follow wizard for integrating with your email provider. If you are used to using Microsoft Office editions prior to 2007, you will notice a big difference in Word and Excel menus and toolbars. After using the product for a short time, you will adjust to the changes. If you are sending files to other users, the product has a feature where you just save as Word 97 to 2003 or Excel previous versions if needed. Works great!
