[bcab] Re: Word 2007

Hi Vince. I have actually just bought a licence for 2007. Not because there was any rational reason to do so but just because we all do ultimately have to comply with what MS says and resistance is futile. Also I get scared that older formats will one day become unopenable. 
Cheers Tim

Tim, I can't see any advantage at all in going for Word 2007. I've got it, simply because my old Office 97 started not to work properly on XP. I just pretend it's not 2007, and carry on with all those keyboard shortcuts I can remember from before. It's slow, cumbersome, and pointless, but there it is. For simple word processing that can be done in RTF or older DOC formats, I often use Jarte from www.jarte.com. At least it doesn't have a dang ribbon. 

Vince.

Hi Listers. I'm configuring a new machine and trying to decide whether it's worth forking out for a licence key for Word 2007. It doesn't seem very friendly. Is it wright there are no drop down menus as with earlier versions of Word, I can only find pages and controls to tab between. The Word count button doesn't actually yield me a word count. It just presents an Include footnotes check box and a close button but no figure for the number of words. Is this right or have I just not got it set up right? In short, Word 2007 seems less accessible than previous versions. Have other people had that experience? 
Regards
Tim Gebbels
