Microsoft office 2007 (beta)

Has any one tried using this? I must say I really do hate the Word 2007 (beta) its fucntions and how they are laid is well confusing, and I cant find the tools I want half the time! I think its a waste of time your opinons?

 

i tried the online version of beta. Looks really nice, i like word features. Its made more simple and easy to use.

 

I dont think its made it any more simple atall more diffucult! But I surppose I am so used to the old word its hard for change..

 

well, being an expert user of MS office for the last 6 years, I think incorporating new features in a software package is not at all a bad idea but one thing that is very important is that all these features should be designed to be user friendly. secondly, Microsoft should also emphasise on the main features in the first place. It is my personal experience with trainees, that most of them were not even aware of 50% of the features that MS Word provides us. So, the new functionalities are of no use to more than 50% of the users. It rather has a burden on your computers memory.

 

I agree to that adding new features is great, but I dont think it is user friendly, so i have recently reverted back to my old microsoft office

 

I have not used it yet but it looks nice to me.

 

im sorry but i just really cant stand it, im just too used to the older versions as a few of them are quite similar.

 

our company has used it for about 7 months now, its like any other "new" thing that is realeased, your gonna have to just learn it has it was almost new, I like it, at first yeah.. had to search for certain things, but overall, I like it, latest release still alittle buggy, but on a scale of 1-10 I give it a 7

 

I suppose i can have another stab at it on a computer i dont use so much, I got so frustrated with it trying to write up essays and not knowing how to use anything lol

 

I have it on my computer right now, and I must say a lot has changed. Everything is more visual now. You can hover over everything and get a preview before you actually change anything on the page. Like say I wanted to make the title bold and centered, I could actually do all that without changing anything. Once I click the button it will change the text, but until then you will get a preview of what it will look like.

 

I have the download on my system, but I haven't moved it over to my laptop yet which is running Vista RC1...I should probably do that today.

 

I have the beta. Outlook has a few problems which makes it crash, but other than that I love it especially Word.

 

I'm loving this new office beta, have had a few crashes, but nothing too bad and the data has been recovered both times. Good Stuff.

 

are they offering free download?

 

It is not working well,

 

I tryed it early 2006 when it was first released. Uninstalled again within a week. Some of it wouldnt install correctly unless i downloaded yet more windows garbage.

I prefer works 1997 over office 2007. That is how bad it is.

In the new office 2007 is frontpage not included in the upgrade? As when I isntalled it, it didnt touch my frontpage..

 

its looks a lot nicer, however it is hard to navigate and findstuff

 

some says that newer versions of Microsoft Powerpoint comes with a built-in Flash editor

 

I've used it for a month, and I must say it looks pretty nice. Of course, you have to go about relearning everything, which is a pain in the @$$. And it has a tendency to freeze up.
