Honestly, Eleanor, it's quite straightforward using Office 2007, and for the bits of it I want to use, the old keystrokes still work. There are plenty of cheat-sheets on the Web to help you learn the new keystrokes too, and some free utilities that put a mock-up of the old menus in there, though that's not really necessary in my view. The ribbon that seems to have caused some people to have kittens is just a glorified toolbar, is very accessible, and has, for each item a help message. I'm sure you'll get to grips with it very quickly when the time comes.

The only snag I can see is in time to come, with a new version of Windows,2003 may not work. By then, people like us who haven't made the effort tolearn new tricks will be left behind by the rest of the world. In spite of that, this old dog continues to cling to the familiar. Best wishes, Ted. On 27/09/11 11:12, Eleanor Burke wrote:Hi I use Office 2003 quite happily. What would be the advantage of me moving to say Office 2007 or 2010? I actually have new versions of each but I only see it as a great learning curve rather than an advantage. Would be interested in comments.
