I REALLY do not like Word 2007
Almost everything is worse. Word 2003 was just about perfect. I

In my opinion, the issue is not whether this is good or bad or even whether I will eventually love it. It was forced onto us with no option to stay with the old interface. I have a lot of work to do and right in the middle of it, I have to spend valuable time learning a enw interface. This is either complete arrogance or it's a maintenance strategy.

I meant that the new styles were forced onto me once I upgraded to Office 2007, but then you already know that. Of course I was not forced to upgrade. My alternate options a 1. Stay with an older version until it no longer works or I start receiving documents from newer versions that are not compatible or I need to do something that the older version can;t do or ... 2. Switch to some other office product and endure endless migration headaches and incompatibilities and ... 3. Toss the whole thing out the door and go back to paper and pencil and abacus. 4. ???
