We have used Word since it's first Windows version and routinely use styles
and other custom elements to achieve our desired company look and feel.
While the new interface in 07 makes it easy to select various MS designed
preset styles, it seems to make the process of creating one company
customized style that would be reflected in one Normal.dot for all to use
maddeningly difficult to achieve. For example, determining how to make a
change and save it to the Normal.dot is clear in some places and very
difficult to figure out how to do elsewhere. I believe it would help if
there were more in this upgrade that helps the experienced user get back to
the high level formatting ability they had before, instead of optimizing
entirely for newbies alone.
