 Excellent Upgrade June 1, 2007
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Good or not, office, particularly word is installed on about 90% of all desktops. Word, Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint have become the standard.
Having said that, Office 2007 is really an excellent upgrade.
For the first time, in Word, i find the options that i need to do my job.
The "ribbon" after a day or two is a big step forward.
The graphics, and the resizing of pictures and all images are excellent.
I am now moving beyond just producing document, and now producing really good looking documents.
Office 2007 stability has been good, no significant bugs.
This is a good product upgrade. And i guess $250 after five years of Office 2003 is reasonable.
Office 2007 is even easy to install.
I like this product.
 I love the new outlook! May 26, 2007

This product is great. I run a business out of my home and I love the new outlook with business contact manager. I can keep track of all of my clients easily and track the time spent on projects by using the timer in the phone call log. Great purchase!
 Office For Dummies - Not To Be Confused With The Book May 22, 2007

I have used nearly every version of Microsoft Office since 1994. So, I looked forward to using Office 2007. To say the least I was disappointed. I feel that this product is aimed at novice or weak users who might feel more at home using a product like Microsoft Works or perhaps the "Home" version rather than a professional product version. I suppose that its new "ribbon" interface would be of some value to new users of Office who might not have much previous experience with the product. However, I'll bet that after a bit of use the "ribbon" will become as tiresome as it became to me.
From my point-of-view, I had a number of problems with the product.
1. The old "File" functions (Save, Open, etc.) are hidden until you click on a non-descript icon. Why not have "File" option on the menu bar? If the term "File" is too passe then at least call it something.
2. Each one of the new "ribbons" is loaded with stuff that is seldom used by most Office users. And, in so doing, these always take up an excessive amount of screen space. I didn't like that I had to click on each of the menu choices to drop down the corresponding "ribbon". These were not organized in the manner I was used to and I didn't know where some things were that I often use. In previous versions just moving the mouse pointer over the menu item dropped the corresponding list of functions. Maybe there is an option for this buried somewhere to do this but it couldn't be found if so.
3. The installation default for the ribbon is to disappear after one function is performed. I found this very frustrating. At last I found an option that would retain the "ribbon" after each use but then I was stuck with it until I turned the option off. The old pre-defined (but customizable) toolbars, which usually take up less space, are gone. Yes, you can make an optional custom toolbar as well. However, you can do the same in previous versions without the "ribbons" clutter.
4. There is no option to revert this "ribbon" setup to the Office 2003 menu / toolbar setup. (I'll bet that there will be one in the next release or two).
5. There are very few new capabilities in this product for most mortal Office users.
In short, I recommend that you find a version of Office 2003 rather than buy this one. If you already have Office 2003, save your money.
Not Perfect but Close Enough May 21, 2007

After installing the Vista operating system, I installed Office Professional, which containes the Windows 2007 versions of: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Accounting Express, and Access.
The whole installation process took several hours but I had no trouble installing and launching the all the programs.
I am very pleased with the programs and how they interact. I expect there are some bugs in the package; however, I also expect that Microsoft will find them and automatically send me the appropriate patches. I would rather take this approach and make use of this great software rather than wait for a bug-free perfect piece of software to be developed.
I believe the combination of Vista and Office 2007 is a fantastic package and well worth upgrading to.
Office 2007 Upgrade May 21, 2007

Once I finally received the upgrade (how long it took to get here is another story). I found it easy to install, and I like the new look. It will take a little getting used to, but I have always found that Microsoft makes many improvements each time they issue an upgrade.
