 A writers nightmare! November 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I write. I do tons of it. I've been using Word since it was originally released and I have moved along with the product through every new version. However, with the release of Word 2007, I may be forced to change to another software. Here's why.
The organization in 2007 is a Rubiks cube, and I spend way too much time searching for the function I need. The thesaurus is now more cumbersome and requires more mouse clicks. Page formatting is an exercise in frustration. Document protection doesn't work. Opening and closing multiple documents is more difficult and guaranteed to go wrong. I could go on and on. There is nothing about this release that I like.
I would warn experienced Word users who are thinking about "upgrading" to keep their present version. Hopefully, Microsoft will come to their senses and provide a version worth having - soon!
Slower, uglier, and harder to use October 14, 2008

So, if you're like 99% of PC users, you've spent the last decade learning how to use microsoft word. Well, all of that won't help you a bit when you open up the new version of word. Nothing makes sense. I can't figure out how to do anything. It's slow. It's ugly. It's expensive. It's hard to use.
A nightmare October 5, 2008

The technical institute where I work implemented Word 2007 earlier this year. It's been a nightmare for our students. They spend days struggling to create a simple document and the library staff spend most of their time trying to help them. I've been using Word on a daily basis since 1997 and even I can't figure out how to make it work effectively. We all agree this is the worst word processing program ever designed.
Worst piece of software I've ever used. September 24, 2008

Absolutely terrible software. Compared to prior versions of microsoft word, it's a mess. Even disregarding all prior knowledge of previous versions, and treating it as its own separate entity, it's a mess.
M$ did a great job making commonly used, extremely necessary functions, nearly impossible to figure out. Want to center your title? Too bad. Word will center the entire paper. I try highlighting just that line to center it...but nope, that still centers the entire paper. I dig for 10 minutes through the piss-poor help file, read the convoluted explanation, and still cannot figure it out.
They did away with the common-sense file menu, and replaced it with a malformed Microsoft logo, almost as if to taunt you every time you are scrambling to find a function. It even saves the files in a new "docx" format, destroying all file compatibility with older versions. The only way to make your files compatible is to save in "word 97-2003 compatible" mode.
Avoid this terrible program, and all of Office 2007 at ALL COSTS.
Incompetence at its Worst September 12, 2008

What have they been smoking at Microsoft? This is the worst version of any software product I have ever used. Not just the worst word processor. Such as ridiculous features like the "Themes" ribbon, that a user MAYBE would use once in creating a document, if ever, but that takes up 40% of the task bar real estate and cannot be removed or replaced with utilities that I really DO use. And why am I forced to look at 5/8 inch tall images of a "funnel", or a capital letter "A" ..given that I am no longer in first grade. And never mind trying to deal with inserting common autofields into the "new" Header and Footer interfaces. The only saving grace with the 2007 products is the ability to build a menu bar with "most" of the old icons, thereby rejecting the entire 2007 ribbon fiasco altogether.
