Dumb suggestion for Microsoft
It seems if I want to customize something or change settings, I may need to
go here (maybe view/customize) or there (maybe tools/options), or exit out of the program a certain way to get it to stay that way, or file/page set-up, or do something else. Why not place all options and settings in the *same* place? (I can click file/print for everything - same idea for settings and options!) No, that would be too easy.... |

Dumb suggestion for Microsoft
Perhaps this is what we may get in the next release of Office and Vista!! According to MS, windows hasn't changed for 10 years and so they are thinking of a complete revamp of the interface!! This means we senior citizens have to relearn everything all over again. What a cruel way to treat us!

Upgrading is not compulsory. There are many people producing good work with
Word 97, which still offers more functionality than most users ever get round to using. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ANONYMOUS wrote: Perhaps this is what we may get in the next release of Office and Vista!!

If you think so, you might want to look at some of the articles linked from
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/Office12/. Jensen Harris's series of blog postings on "Why the New UI" I find especially interesting. -- Suzanne S.

God, I hope so! I won't buy Vista without a Classic view.

Do you know what a "shortcut" is? It's a "different method" of doing
something. Please review your request based on the widened view of reality.

Thanks for the link, Suzanne. Examined the new Office UI, and decided I'll
need to use Office 2003 for the next 27 years. I'm too old to learn a dramatically complicated new UI. Gimme my toolbars back! (Smile.) If I wanted a "gee-whiz" Macintosh UI, I would have bought a Mac. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

All I can say is that most of those who have seen static screen shots have
reacted much like you. Those who have seen the new UI in action have reacted much more favorably. -- Suzanne S.
