I've just switched to Word 2007 from Word 2000 and I wish I hadn't!!!
Why is Word 2007 so counter-intuitive? Simple task which were easily accomplished by drop-down menus are now so complex and the help offered is very poor. Simple questions lead to endless video tutors. I hate it too. "White Pidgeon" wrote: Would someone please tell me where to find the drawing commands? I'm afraid I hate 2007! |

This seems to be a universal reaction to Word 2007 from power users of
previous versions. There are some aides that can ease the transition, including the following: Command reference: Downloadable: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Online: http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HA100744321033 Search commands: http://www.officelabs.com:80/project...s/default.aspx Get Started Tab add-in for Word 2007: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Just be aware that general gripes in these newsgroups won't usually bring you much help (we've all been there), but we'll be happy to try to provide an answer to any specific question. -- Suzanne S.

Many thanks for your message Suzanne.
I've soldiered on with 2007 for a few months but I still hate it. I mentioned my troubles to a friend who works in education, specializing in IT, and his reaction was, "The last decent version was 2003"! Do you, or anyone out there, know how I can contact Microsoft to make my views known if, as you say, gripes in these newsgroups won't usually bring us much help? I would really like to persuade them to let me download and install 2003 and use the 2007 license for it. I will happily ditch 2007. The trouble is, with each new version of Windows, Office or other software, the Microsoft programmers try to be that extra bit clever - too clever in my estimation. There are a number of features in Vista (I only have it on my laptop) which I find intensely irritating. I shudder to think what Windows 7 will bring. Regards Gerry Bates "Suzanne S.

I don't know the answer to the license question, but I have an idea that MS
is very aware of users' general unhappiness with Word 2007. I have considerable hope (perhaps even some confidence) that this will be alleviated in Word 14. -- Suzanne S.

Also be assured that MS has a clear understanding of users' opinions of
Vista too. Win7 looks far more promising. The beta still has some teething problems, but it is early days. I have it dual-booting on a Netbook and it runs as well as WinXPH runs on it. All the Netbook features worked perfectly without the need to find any drivers and the installation (from an external USB CD drive) took 36 mins from start to finish. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "GerryB" wrote in message ...
