I still use it instead of the ribbon more than half of the time. A very valuable program.Victor Dewsberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18342577630994069368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-24105960278087143942011-12-16T18:57:39.825+00:002011-12-16T18:57:39.825+00:00Good thing I'm on a Mac.

It's got a lot of bugfixes for problems in 2007 I'm told. <br /><br />After a year I have largely adapted to the horrible new interface, but there are still certain commands that I simply can't find in the new interface, and the hours spent searching for this information is a huge waste of my productivity. I resent the arrogance of Microsoft in making major changes like that without offering solutions to avoid destroying user productivity until a new steep learning curve has been overcome. Unfortunately, I've noticed that some functions in certain TEnT tools I use are more stable when I run Office 2010, so conversion solutions running on an older version are really not an option any more.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-64724800301219818992011-12-16T17:16:06.239+00:002011-12-16T17:16:06.239+00:00Thanks - I've put off this for a long time, bu...Thanks - I've put off this for a long time, but five years late, in 2012, I'm finally going to make the leap to Office 2007 (!) so this will help me a lot!<br /><br />Interestingly, in all these years I've only once had a problem caused by my use of such "old" software - a very complicated Office 2007-document from the client with things embedded in footnotes and such, which didn't remain completely intact through Microsoft's own conversion utility to open it in my Word 2003.Craighttp://www.proz.com/translator/87757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-31571143492254086842011-12-16T16:33:39.490+00:002011-12-16T16:33:39.490+00:00I agree that the 2007 interface takes some getting...I agree that the 2007 interface takes some getting used to, although I definitely prefer it now. When I upgraded, I often used the MS interactive guide, where you can click on an "old item" and it will show you where it is on the new ribbon:<br />http://office.microsoft.com/asstvid.aspx?&type=flash&assetid=XT010076633&vwidth=1044&vheight=788&app=ZWD&ver=12Emma Goldsmithhttp://www.goldsmithtranslations.comnoreply@blogger.com
