As a Word user of eleven years, I feel it is necessary to express my blatant
disappointment with this 2007 version of the Word software. I depend on Word for school papers, and note organization, and have made heavy use of VBA macros, and am somewhat defendant on them for common tasks. The fact that the new Word object model does not support all of the 2003 commands is a tad disappointing, but I could have gotten through it and redesigned my macros. The new interface is horrible. I cannot believe that Microsoft has thrown away customization and a well organized set of menus for the decorative "ribbon." The items are not re organizable, and it's not possible to create additional ribbons without extensive add on programming (I assume it is possible through add-ons). The fact that it took me ten minutes to determine how to access the "options" dialog is insane. I recently purchased a new computer with windows vista, and was looking forward to the new office suite. Now I am faced with the dilemma of either trying to install my old version of word 2003, or choose another product altogether. Microsoft has always been able to accommodate functionality and optional simplicity for new inexperienced users. Are your new users more valuable to you than your long time dedicated users? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
