What would you expect from Microsoft!

One of the big claims about 2007 is that it stores Word documents in a
text-based xml format instead of a very clumsy binary format. This is supposed
to give you somewhat larger, but much more stable, less likely corrupted,
documents. It is also supposed to be easier for other applications to import
and make use of documents in this format.
I haven't heard if anyone has offered opinions as to whether this really
makes much of a difference, although Word's binary format for documents has
always been criticized as being fragile and impossible for other apps to really
understand.

Caroline;
is there any big difference in 2007 to 2003 apart from the change of look?
I once had a problem with 2003 not being able to open files created by
2007, but I downloaded a file converter and it works well with files made with
2007
I always had the experience of 2007 not working well with JAWS 7, so I am
now using JAWS 9 and it also works well with 2003.

2007 works just fine. The problem is that Microsoft saw it fit to
redesign the program, and although the ribbon has a very similar feel to the
menu bar, options have been moved around. Traditional hotkeys still work, but
if you're not overly familiar with those commands learning the new layout can
be frustrating. If you have 2003, and if you're comfortable with it, stick with
it. If you want a challenge, definitely go for 2007.

Why would 2K7 be better. I thought many people were having problems
with 2k7. I use 2k3 and it works perfect.

Hi it is going to work out of the box just fine. Office 2k3 will work
just fine with vista. You would do better with 2k7 though.
No nothing needs to be changed to make jaws work with it. As for
having a little fit shame on you for doing so before you new if you had
something to have a fit about. Smile.

Hi,
I just received the word that we are planning to go to Vista at work.
I had a little fit, but my boss assures me that it will be ok. So, here's the
question. Is JAWS really working ok with Vista. Can one use MS Office 2003
with Vista? Is anyone using Duxbury with Vista? I appreciate hearing your
opinions. Thank you. Linda
