They hid my stuff!
I've used Microsoft Office every day at work for the last 8 years. While I had some problems with bugs and usability, they were minor and I was able to work rather efficiently. I installed Office 2007 and was immediately pleased with the appearance and even the concept of the ribbon. However, I quickly realized with a sinking feeling that virtually every feature and command that I was familiar with has been moved! Now anything I try to do involves minutes of searching for a command that used...

Worst Office yet!
This review is from: Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 (CD-ROM) If you have Office 2003, you should just keep it. Don't bother with this atrocity of a program, unless you want to learn an entirely new interface. Microsoft took a perfectly good interface and absolutely ruined it in an effort at "streamlining." Word and Excel, in particular, have had their usefulness savaged. Here's the worst part: once you've learned this entirely new interface - once you've gone thro...

Office 2007 is a productivity black hole
If you have never used MS Office before then ignore this review, because you are unlikely to be bothered by the issues raised here.
As an advanced Excel user for nearly twenty years, I have to say that Microsoft has rolled out the software equivalent of new Coke.
Many professionals learned spreadsheets back in the 1980s when Lotus 123 enabled tremendous advances for ordinary business users. One of the great strengths of Microsoft Excel, when it became ready for Prime Time,...

Overpriced and Bulky
Only bought this because my fiance is used to Office, and she wanted to have all the graphics, templates, etc. and so forth.
I'm more of a fan of OpenOffice.org, which is a free open-source suite that does pretty much everything MS Office can do, and the files are compatible with each other. I can easily handle MS Office documents in Open Office - but I don't have to deal with silly, dancing paper clips trying to "help" me or nagging reminders to upgrade, update, and buy more content...

If you're a writer, DO NOT BUY Home and Student version of Office 2007
I have Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Version which states on every page "NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY". I never noticed this warning until I started taking writing classes. My class teacher and others did not know what this meant and I had to call Microsoft to find out. You are not even able to send anything by email. This came bundled with other software when I bought my computer.(no caution here) Now I'm on Amazon shopping for a full version of Microsoft Office Suite 2007 and it is not ...

Rubbish
Complete stupidy.
Would you buy a new car if the manufacturer decided to move the steering wheel to between your legs, if they changed the brake pedal to a lever on the dashboard, etc. This is what MS have done with this release of Office. The user interface has been completely changed, and I can't find anything. Pointless really, because the underlying functionality is identical to Office 2003. Maybe that is the point, if nothing has changed, give it a new cloak.
I've been...

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 - Installation caution.
It's usually a no brainer to upgrade two or three generations of software and in my case it is proving to be so. The interface is different but having used their previous products of Word and Excel for years and years and years it is easy enough to correlate menu selections I once performed with the new "Ribbon Interface" that Microsoft's Genies have developed. It seems to me to be quite intuitive and easy to use. I do recommend the purchase for anyone who is not a "dyed in the wool" old school...

Poor conversion, inconvenient tool bar
Office 2007 has an issue with its previous versions of Office. You cannot merely save a document and email it to a person who has an older Office product. This is an obvious ploy to make every one buy the new version. There is an option around this, but it ought not need an option. Also, you cannot simply email a document as text as in previous versions of Office. You MUST email any document as an attachment.
And one major problem is that many repetitive features have been hidden...

It's ok, but there are free alternatives
Office 2007 is a pretty big leap from the previous versions, which can be nice for newer users, but the attempt to make things easier tends to make things harder for those of use who are used to a more classic system. If you're strapped for cash or just don't want to spend $70-$150 just to do some spreadsheets, word documents, powerpoint presentations, etc. there's always openoffice. This is a decent product, but I'm always surprised at how few people know of the free, open source alternatives. ...

Dumbed-Down
The interface of Word 2007 is designed to cripple the user's ability to customize documents in favor of a few pre-selected formats. The effective minimalist toolbars have been replaced with an obtrusive and distracting "Ribbon", and the menus likewise have been replaced with a clunky "Office Button" that hides many needed features.
Microsoft has been attempting to copy the Macintosh interface for a while, but the designers do not seem to understand that the Mac interface works becaus...
