Default Word 2007 is "More intuitive??"

Well I am still finding some things in W2007 a strain though equally there
are numerous small things that I like which add up as slightly positive.

But I am getting a Netbook rather than a Notebook (with only an Intel Atom
processor), so I am concerned about keeping resources demand as low as
possible. So my choices are likely to be a skimpy install of Win XPP with
some lightweight applications.

I am in two minds about whether to install Office at all and manage with OE
and WordPad. But Outlook 2007 - which I really like - is pulling me, as is
the idea of using just Google Mail and WordPad whilst I am mobile.

There's just too much to choose from... g

Hard to say. You seem to have come to terms with 2007, but from the tenor
of this thread, should I guess 2003?

The experience seems to be that the new UI is more intuitive for
brand-new users and not too difficult for casual users to get used to.
Longtime power users, the ones who knew where every command was on
every menu and where every button was in every dialog or on every
toolbar (and had their toolbars and menus extensively customized), are
the ones who are really suffering.

We're not just suffering - we're giving up. I have tried, I really
have, to adjust to the new interface, but I've come to loathe it so much
I've gone back to Word 2003. If Microsoft doesn't improve this in their
next version, then when 2003 is not working for me any longer, I will
have to seriously look elsewhere for my word processing needs. I never
thought I would ever give up on any version of Word, but I'm giving up
now. (I've been a power user since Word 3.0, so it's a painful epiphany
that Word isn't the right program for me any more.)
