Does anyone else think Word 2007 sucks as much as I do?
I can't find anything! The dashboard is in the backseat and the ignition is
on the hubcap. Most importantly WHERE IS HELP!!!!!!!!! We didn't get any manuals and I can't accomplish the most simple tasks. Before all I had to do was hit the help button and ask a question. Eventually I could figure it out. Is it gone completely? Hidden? HELP!!!!! I can't wait to try Excel. |

Perhaps you will be less unhappy with Word 2007 after you have become used
to the changes. I even quite like some of them. However, I still have not found replacements for a couple of facilities I used quite a lot. Up on the far right top of the screen, you will see a small, little-bitty question mark. Click on that to access the help system. Re trying Excel, sarcasm detected and frustration noted. You might want to try to avoid ambiguities such as your subject for this message exemplifies. ;-) Tom MSMVP 1998-2007 "MSLOST" wrote in message ... I can't find anything!

To Help you with your transition - Microsoft did provide some Online
reference tools. The one I like the most is where you see a screen with Word 2003 toolbars and menus, you click the appropriate menu and select the appropriate submenu and the screen changes to Word 2007 and shows you where that command is located... For Word: http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HA100744321033 For Excel: http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HA101491511033 Hope that helps you get through your learning curve a little easier. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Help is always just an F1 away.

You're suffering from cultural-shock syndrome. We've all been the some of
us were stuck there for a very long time. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Scream. Take a deep breath and then try some of the old shortcuts from your previous version. ALt+F and F1 will be most useful. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "MSLOST" wrote in message ... I can't find anything! The dashboard is in the backseat and the ignition is on the hubcap.

I wish I used hot keys more than I do. I'm still dabbling with 2007 and am
not as fast as I'd like. Fortunately it's on my home computer and not at work. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "CyberTaz" typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet wrote in message ...

It is truely a shame that the MS company has forgotten the main, singular,
numero uno rule of productivity. That which you know, is to be built upon. This is a major rewrite, when none of us really needs a major rewrite. Word is already the worst offender in the bloated software category. Now it is utterly ruined by someones idea of a better mousetrap. Ever go to a hardware store to actually buy a mousetrap? "Better" mousetraps are outsold like 20 to 1 by the ole standby. What is the true cost to american business in relearning crap that should be already learned? ie Word and the operating system. If someone can show me one reason for a trillion dollar relearning curve, I'll change my tune. But they can't. The problem is not that Word Seven sucks. It doesnt. But you gotta invest WAAAAYYY to much in it just to type a stupid letter and put in some header info. And BTW, you better start it from 2007 scratch, since the format is different too. Gaud, this is an anti american plot. "MSLOST" wrote: I can't find anything! The dashboard is in the backseat and the ignition is on the hubcap. Most importantly WHERE IS HELP!!!!!!!!!

Help? There's a MINISCULE question mark in the top right corner just under
the Close X. I can't believe that you missed it. g Terry "SonicDave" wrote in message ... "MSLOST" wrote: I can't find anything! The dashboard is in the backseat and the ignition is on the hubcap.

Once I got the hang of it, I like my Word 2007. Here are a couple of
learning tools for Word 2007 that helped me: http://office.microsoft.com/training...RC100664431033 http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...654561033.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/training...RP100664381033 http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/msoffice/?p=146 "SonicDave" wrote in message ...

I have solved my Word 2007 learning curve problem.
The circular file is a wonderful thing. I have reinstalled 2003 all is right with the world. I use Word to be productive not to prove I can solve the latest software puzzel. Change just to change is never a good idea. With trash like Vista and Office 2007 maybe Mac can finally take over market share from PC. |
