Although the extensive use of the task pane in Office 2002 makes it a little tougher to use than Office 2000The only thing I couldn't work around was the menu for selecting and adding animations in Power Point--something really easy to do in Office 2000. MS has to make some changes if they're going to charge money for something new, right? but it's mostly the annoyance factor, not an impossibility. And maybe we will all grow to love it. But even the experts couldn't get me to the animations selection in the menu; once moused there, though, I could manage it just fine.
