I’ve been using microsoft office 2007 for quite a while now but i’ve basically stuck to using word, other things i need to create such as datases and spreadsheets well i stick to 2003. Microsoft have not stuck to “simplicity” when making 2007 as i definatly found it a lot harder to use especially with excel and using vba infact i wasn’t even able to do any kind of vba in excel as it was almost impossible to navigate around (i don’t know if microsoft have taken it out of excel) so i stick to office 2003 for that. The main thing i used in 2007 is word and powerpoint as it’s easy to use, as for my thoughts…if 2007 is a imrpovement from 2003 then it’s a no from me. Beginner users to office should use 2003 but if you can get used to 2007 then have fun with it but for me i am all in favor for 2003.
