Should I upgrade to Word 2007?
I am still using Word 2003. It works fine for me. What would be a compelling
reason to upgrade to Word 2007? I understand Word 2007 saves documents in a different format than Word 2003. Would my friends still be able to read a 2007 document in an older version of Word? Is there a URL that extols the virtues of Word 2007? -- Walter www.rationality.net - |

You can save documents in the old format; or 2003 can read 2007 format
if they download the Compatibility Pack. Everyone who switches hates the totally new interface at first; some people get used to it, others cope by putting the commands we use frequently on the "Quick Access Toolbar." The one majorly new feature is the bibliography tool, which is very poorly implemented and completely inflexible unless you are familiar with a certain kind of programming. There are new ways of making forms, but the old ways are still available. A change that everyone hates was the virtual elimination of AutoComplete (with tips). A change that almost everyone approves was the elimination of the "features" like marching ants (which will still operate if they're in older files, unfortunately). This is Microsoft we're talking about -- surely you don't think they _don't_ have such a webpage! On Jun 12, 7:27*pm, "Walter R." wrote: I am still using Word 2003. It works fine for me.

2007 appears to be an answer to a problem you don't have.
