 Don't buy this unless you REALLY need the extras. January 4, 2008

I have been using Microsoft Office since 2001, owning every format it has been released in even prior to that date. My favorite, MS Office 2003, is a fantastic program, which allows me to do everything from write business letters, faxes, client billing, office memorandums, power point presentations, project potential profits for an upcoming year, etc. You might now ask, why can't the 2007 version do this? Well, it can... if you can find the buttons.
MS Office 2007, is essentially a re-worked version of 2003 with INCOMPATIBLE file extensions, and SMALL few new options like seeing text size/font while mousing over text, yet having to track down misplaced buttons, an annoying layout that seems to have been designed with people of lower intelligence in mind, and less online support. I do enjoy some of the new templates and options. But they are more of flashy extra, like leather in an old car. Whomever dreamed up doing this, was most likely someone with a degree in business but NO personal experience in what people really NEED in the office, to get things done. Example: Excel is only useful to a certain point in 2003 as it runs out of space with giant worksheets for company billing. It also has some new time based options for age requirement in a billing folder. BUT, there are other free programs out there (many online) which easily replace it, do all of this and more like open it further if you run out of space, without having to spend a small fortune to replace it. Why waste your hard-earned money on a fancy faced office, with no real improvements over 2003?
Buy MS Office Professional 2003, and leave the 2007 version to the forgotten shelves containing "supposedly improved software" of yesteryear. My copy is going to be donated free of charge to someone who cannot afford even 2003, and has enough time on their hands (as well as inexperience with former versions) to learn it.
Makes me feel like I've never used a computer before December 29, 2007

I've been using, or rather, attempting to use, Office 2007 for several weeks now. Only every time I want to edit my document, make a formatting change, etc. - things I could do in a second in Office 2003 - I invariably end up searching the ribbon in vain and turning to the help document. Good luck finding that, incidentally, it must've taken me five minutes the first time. Seriously, "steep learning curve" is an understatement - Microsoft has absolutely trashed Office's interface.
 EXELLENT! December 28, 2007

I have just today received my Office Professional 2007 and I have installed it on my system. I really don't understand all the negative reviews posted here. The Upgrade went smoothly, quickly, & flawlessly. I am very pleased with the entire migration from Office Pro-XP to 2007. I like the new features and the "ribbon" so many are complaining about is very nicely done. I have no problem finding any of my commonly used features. Better yet, features I had to dig to find are there on the ribbon. Outlook ran superbly and actually started FASTER than my old Outlook XP! I like the way the new mail is ordered, grouping those received today, last week, and older emails. I also like the layout of Word and Excel, and yes, the shortcut-keys do work. I had no problem opening older files in any of my new Office apps. If your concerned about backwards compatability, don't be. You can save your work in backwards compatable types. This is no new issue, though. I've gone through that process many times as I've upgraded my applications. IT'S NO BIG DEAL! The types are in the "Save-As file type" drop down. After reading some of the negative reviews here and experiencing the VISTA fiasco, I was a little concerned, but I needed to buy a new copy as I need to install the old Office XP on another PC (want to stay legal) and went into this with crossed fingers. I am happy to say I wasn't disappointed at all and all those nay sayers either have nothing better to do than write really unbased negative reviews or they just like Microsoft bashing. Granted, they've made some real faux-pas, but then what manufacturer hasn't.
This is the FULL version, I never buy upgrade versions.
BTW: I don't have a speed demon of a PC. It is a 2.0Ghz P4 Dell Optiplex GX270. It's about 3 years old, but it does the job.
 POOR IN THE USER FRIENDLY CATAGORY! December 26, 2007

I have an older version of Microsoft Office and like the additional features as described by Microsoft. My problem is that the newer product isn't as user friendly and instructions available on line are vague. I have yet to successfully transfer complete contact data from previous version of Outlook.
Productivity lost, still December 21, 2007

I have held off evaluating Office 2007 in the six months since our tech department installed it, hoping that I would eventually catch on to the new interface. It hasn't happened. The ribbon is a radical reorganization of functions that is unintuitive, takes up more screen acreage, and forces me to navigate between dozens of infrequently used options in search of those few commands that represent 80%+ of my clicks. The once intuitive correspondence between menus and keystrokes is gone. I am having a hard time finding any real added functionality over previous versions. Worse, there is a very real loss of functionality for those who developed idiosyncratic pop-up menus, toolbars, and macros, which have been rendered unaccessible or less convenient. The Quick Access Toolbar is a cumbersome and nettlesome substitution. The applications take longer to launch and are buggier in their interactions with other applications, including across Office applications (e.g., difficulty opening Excel files from Outlook attachments). I always allocate a few days of degraded productivity when upgrading ("upgrading") software, but the grace period for transition is long past. The tech department re-installed Office 2003 two weeks ago. I regard it an upgrade.
