Default Word 2007 is "More intuitive??"

I would never classify myself as a power user, but I do claim to be competent
at using Word, Excel, and Access - and know enough about PowerPoint to get by
with simple presentations.
I have always disliked those operations that took multiple mouse clicks to
activate. I have thus been an advocate of Toolbar modifications, since I
first learned how ten years ago. The inflexability in Office 2007 is very
vexing. Kind of like my local government dictating the type of vehicle I can
park in my driveway, which they attempted to do.

The experience seems to be that the new UI is more intuitive for brand-new
users and not too difficult for casual users to get used to. Longtime
power users, the ones who knew where every command was on every menu and
where every button was in every dialog or on every toolbar (and had their
toolbars and menus extensively customized), are the ones who are really
suffering.


Interesting. As an aside, and as a "power" user of Excel (mainly - since
Office 95) - I never had any cause to do ANY customization of toolbars.....I
wonder why people are so obsessed with it?
