 Good suite I have used pretty much every version of Office, and sure this took a little bit of getting used to...but the new features are awesome. Definitely recommend it for $150 (or cheaper).  the guy at office depot was right Registering software is a good idea, but MS doesn't make it easy. I never got mine registered so I dock it by one star. Often on power up it tries to reconfigure itself/I have to abort. Since WORD has become a defacto standard, one cannot live without it, and it is better than the prior version of Word. Neither have I been able to get the save as Pdf file option to work. I think it is overpriced, but what can you do? It does have one nice feature allowing conversion of 07 filesto older versions, Since I find many are not upgrading, this is important. overall a mixed bag...  The worst office ever While I am not what you would call a power user of computers, I am still a user. I started with computers, back with my best friends Commodore 64, so it has been a while. At work I started back in the days of MS DOS, and 5&1/2 " floppy's. I learned word processing on Office Writer, and then we moved to the first versions of windows, and moved to Lotus Applications, I learned all the key board short cuts, learned how to make slide presentations, write spreadsheets, and use Lotus Notes and Amipro. Then My company decided to get out of IBM entirely and we moved to Microsoft Office, which wasn't nearly as efficient as our by then out of date Lotus 123 v 3.1, then we upgraded to Office 97, which was an improvement, (then We got out of Legacy and went Oracle, but that is another sad story). Then I got Lotus 10 for home and it sucked, so I got Office 2000 at home which was better still, then at work we upgraded to Office 2003, which was better still. So imagine my disappointment this year when I had Office 2007 bundled into my new laptop. It is so counterintuitive in it's operation, that I went and loaded the Lotus into My laptop until I can go Buy another copy of an earlier version of Office. Maybe I need to get a how to book, but since I have been using computers for over two decades without a class before, it seems like it is the software not me. But that's just me.  Open Office is free -- get it instead openoffice dot org OpenOffice: open source "equivalent" All the power 90% of you people need, and zero cost. TINY download. SMALL space consumption on drive. EVEN a portable version. Can open and save Microsloth documents FREE. no licensing hassles. no demonic EULA. | |||||||||
