I am excited! I do a ton of things in word, and lots of things in power point. I think in the next few months I'm going to buy a new laptop and I'm definetly getting office 2007.

    Thanks for the link, Dave. Looks good! I use Word, Excel and Powerpoint every day, and that new "ribbon" looks like it will be great. Say what you want about Microsoft products, but I like them.

    I'll tell you what I don't like about Microsoft. When I switched over from Apple to PC several years ago, the machine came with Microsoft Works. I used the Microsoft Works Word Processor for several years, then I bought a new PC. The new PC came with a new Microsoft Works Word Processor. The new Microsoft Works Word Processor couldn't read files created with the old Microsoft Works Word Processor. I called Microsoft and asked them "What's the deal?" They said, Yep, that's right, it won't read the old files. I asked them what they were going to do about it. They said they didn't know, but they had been thinking about it. By the time they came up with a program to convert the files, I had way too many files to convert them. I'm still using the old Microsoft Works Word Processor.

    By the way, The Microsoft Works which came with this machine can't be uninstalled after it has been installed and the XP system they gave me won't install without the new Microsoft Works. The two Works programs are not compatible. I had to delete program files on the "hunt and peck" system until I deleted the ones which wouldn't let me use Works.

    What a pain in the *. I'm thinking about going back to Apple. Apple will screw you every chance they get, but at least their stuff works.
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    Seems like everytime I learn the old WORD they invent a new one. [:(!]
