 Why not include Outlook? July 3, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Office 2007 is definitely worth the upgrade. I've been working with the beta version for a while now, and can say that this is probably the best upgrade the suite has ever received. OneNote alone is worth spending the money to upgrade; quite simply OneNote is the best application to come from Microsoft in years. But why doesn't Microsoft include Outlook with the Home and Student version? Don't students use Outlook?
 Great service and product July 2, 2007

Mostly I've used Word and have found this version a little different than the other Word versions so I have to hunt a little to find the features I use most often. Everything works well and it's a good package.
 To get your attention: No Spell Check for Outlook Express! June 29, 2007
8 out of 13 found this review helpful
They took spell check out of Outlook Express in English, Spanish and German! It defaults to French! The audacity! Yes, I know, others have mentioned it and offered welcomed fixes but I'm giving it ONE star for ONE reason - to get the attention of those unaware BEFORE you buy - something I did not have the luxury of. What ticks me off, beyond the limit, is that I did not find this in any of the comparisons between this version and others! You buy it and find out the hard way. Not right! It should have been mentioned in the analysis', write-ups AND in it's promotions - and should have been in bold print! The sneaky traders... We're left at Bill Gate's 'mercy' as if he has any mercy! I've come to the regret of not having gone with Apple in the first place, after all these years of touting Microsoft over Apple... They're an honest and decent corporation and I extend my heartfelt apoligies to them.
I'm tired of getting the Gate's Shaft. I'm old and changing boats at this stage of my senility is going to be a challenge but my next computer WILL be an APPLE product!
Could Be Better, Could Be Worse... June 28, 2007

As one who was a newbie to Word I must say the 2007 version has to be much easier to navigate with the new ribbon concept. The biggest trouble for the inexperienced is finding a way to understand all the features. This thing is really complicated to use because it can do so many things. It seems the best way to learn Word would be to take a course in a classroom setting, but for most of us that is not to be. Try to learn from the tutorials and you have to navigate a maze to find them all. I can't see a neophyte learning all the ins and outs of this program without a third-party teaching tool.
I have no doubt that if you opt for the full version it is worth the money, as long as you know how to use the program and all its features. I couldn't afford the whole boat, and didn't think I needed it anyway, so I opted for this version. That's when I discovered a disappointment. Not only do you not get the full complement of Office products, you don't even get a full version of the components per se. For the life of me I can't remember ever being told in the sales pitch that this would be a pared-down version of Word and wouldn't even contain all the fonts offered in the full version.
I had been using the 2007 Beta version and then the Trial version when that expired, and had done some work using the Broadway font, only to find out later that that particular font isn't even offered in this stripped-down version. Now if I want to match the font I started with I need to go buy it separately for about 20 bucks. Dirty trick.
Another problem was that I needed tech support to get it to work properly since I had previous versions installed on the puter and they left a couple of files that the developers should have thought to remove when installing the new version but didn't.
In short it's a pretty nifty program all in all, but it's still Microsoft, and has its foibles and bugs. Be aware that there is a learning curve to get through, but it can be satisfying once you get the hang of it.
