 I suppose that everything must change and it does look slick. March 6, 2007

Having used the Office programs for some time, I was a bit put off by the new ribbons which replace the old menus. I guess that Office needed a new look, but I am not sure if I buy the advertising that the ribbon will make my work more productive.
Some things that you should know about Office 2007 and Ultimate in general. The licensing agreement allows you to install Office 2007 Ultimate on two computers, one of them being a laptop. I found this clause in the legal agreement and even called Microsoft Legal to confirm.
If you make modifications to the Quick Access Toolbar (and who won't do that?) and you want to take these changes with you to another computer, the files for the toolbars are located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Office
Where username is your username. Something I have found handy when working with my two computers.
One thing that I don't like is that the file name extensions have changed. Gone is the familiar .doc for Word documents. Now the file extension is .docx. If you want to create a document that can still be opened by prior versions of Word, you must purposefully choose to create a .doc file, but you lose some of the functionality of the new files. The .docx file This format is not the same as the OpenDocument standard. Microsoft promises that older versions of Word can still open the .docx files, but I have not tried it and I don't buy into everything that Microsoft promises until I see it happen. Why couldn't Microsoft just leave the files the same as they have always been?
Office 2007 does look slick and I anticipate that I will warm up to it in the future as I get used to the new command structure.

Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 is fairly good once you know how to use it. It is a a little difficult if you are new to how the menus work but once you know how they work it is fairly simple to use.
The New Office February 12, 2007

I read the review centering on the box the DVD comes in and must admit that I was stumped as well. It was "different" but I don't foresee this as being a problem overall.
The new Office Ultimate 2007 loaded quickly. How quickly? Well, I had to check my new Vista HP notebook because I couldn't believe that it packed all of the programs onto the system in such a short amount of time. It asked for the Product Key and one or two other bits of data but that was it. Out of all the Office suites I have owned, this one loaded so quickly I was sure there was a problem. Nope. Access, Outlook, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, OneNote, Excel, Groove and a host of others were there ready to be activated (don't worry; you only do it once, not for each separate program. Naturally, if you are like me and totally dependent upon email, you'll activate Outlook first).
The new Office "feels" different. The ribbons are OK but I would suggest that they allow us the option to retain the Classic (XP) view. I rely quite a bit on the RESEARCH task pane and I don't mind telling you that it was difficult to find. The menu bar is a bit on the thin side and having so many icons on the top added clutter and confusion, at least for me. Of course, finding the research task pane could have been quickly resolved if Microsoft had put a product manual in the box (yes, the online HELP is nifty but sometimes a man just needs to read about it from a manual instead of printing it out).
All in all you will find all of your old favorites. And, true to the Office legacy, they really have not changed enough to warrant a major release but I'm willing to bet that after all is said and done, Office Ultimatae 2007 will become the industry standard.
 Just Info on the packaging case February 7, 2007
I just wanted to write a little note about getting the case open. I just received my copy today, and in my excitement discarded the darn instruction on how to open......I know you're all probably thinking I'm just stupid.....after realizing what I did - I'd have to agree! :)
Anyway, if you pull off the "peel" tab and get rid of it - here's what you do:
See that red tab at the top of the box/package? Hold the case from the "spine" and pull the little red tab down. I found it most effective if I used my thumb and index finger (I'm right handed) on the tab and placed my middle finger on the top of the spine, and pushed a little with my middle finger. I've gotten so used to ink cartridges, and other items that have a "don't pull this yet" type of tab, I was a little afraid of touching it....until of course I finally found what I did with my "peel" notice and found I did need to pull on the little red tab.
So that's all there is to it. Again, most of you out there probably think I'm stupid - but for the one or two others out there that tossed that peel tab - Enjoy. I'm going to install tomorrow, and once I've used the programs I'll see about a real review then.
 A great product! February 5, 2007

I have been using the new office suite since it was in the beta 2 stage. the entire suite has been revamped and redone. Word, powerpoint, excel, and the write email window of outlook, all received the new user interface, which includes the new "ribbon." This ribbon streamlines the way that you use the program. It allows you to make your documents look truly great in minutes. The new office includes a new file format, which makes the documents significantly smaller in size. the only downside to this format, is that if someone does not have the new office system, or the free compatibility pack from Microsoft, they will not be able to read the file.
Although this package is expensive, it is definatley worth buying, as long as you use them! If in doubt, go to microsoft's site, where you can get a free 60 day trial of the new office. Also, you can do an online trial of the new office, also available on microsoft's site (look for the test drive). Office ultimate includes word, outlook with business contact manager, powerpoint, excel, access, publisher, infopath, groove, one note, and accounting express (which is available as a free download from microsoft).
