I wasn't thrilled with the idea of learning Word, etc all over again
either...at first. I have finally accepted the fact that my options are to
learn it or fall behind. I have about 16 more years until I can retire. I
can't afford to stagnate at this point.

about the new ribbon interface.
Since it's not going to change, the time to start learning is now.
(And
this
comes from someone who screamed bloody murder about it at first. I
understand why the changes were necessary
Out of curiosity, why were the changes necessary?
I haven't tried Word 2007, but I've tried Excel 2007 at work and I
hate the new interface. I'll eventually get used to it, of course,
but I'm curious why you characterize it as "necessary".
Things were added and changed over the years. There are commands that
were
just kind of tossed in wherever. Especially "Tools". Aren't they all
tools?
And some of the menus had submenus that had submenus. They did what they
could to try to make commands easier to access.
Thank you. Thanks also to Suzanne for posting the blog link. I've
read through all 8 parts and I'm now prepared to give the new UI an
open-minded trial. :-)
