just remember to save you documents as a 2003-2007 document. If you save it as a .docx file folks with out 2007 will not be able to open up your word doc.
I was forced to use it at work, and i have to say it has some good things to work easy with. I like the preview when you change the fonts cool nice feature. But yeah... always save as 2003 .doc file for now.
The first time I used Word 2007 I didn't know the Office Button contained all the Basic Options such as Print. I was very confused, and ended up adding many buttons to the top menu, before I finally figured it out.
yes learning new things become harder but once you are used to them, they are very easy. MSWORD2007 actually is on of the best word version to use
