I’ve been using Microsoft Office 2007 on my home PC since I installed Windows Vista, after taking Microsoft up on their 3 month trial offer. The trial has gone so well I think I’m going to pay for the full version. I’m finding the new ‘ribbon’ to be ultra-useful. I’ve never been a power user of PowerPoint and Word, and the new ribbon which replaces the traditional menus and toolbars has made it easier for me to find all the functions within Word and PowerPoint that I normally have to hunt down.

I have been struggling a bit using Excel 2007 though as most of the hotkeys I’ve memorised from Excel 97 and 03 don’t seem to work anymore. If anyone knows of a way to activate the old hotkeys in Office 2007 can they please let me know.

If you’re looking for Office 2007 tips, CyberNet have just started a series of posts that will be run over a couple of weeks. The first post by Ashley includes some useful tips for Microsoft Word 2007. Click here to read the first installment.

   Yeah I too have been using Word 2007 a lot recently and I really love it over word 2003…The thing I like it best is that you need not dig too much to get best out of it as all features are spread out in front of you

   Glad you found the transition to 2007 so straightforward - there are numerous gottchas in Office 2007 which some people and companies struggle with; not least trying to read the docx file format in older versions of MS Offce and other office apps, and also the now notorious use of Word rather than CSS for format email templates in Outlook. I suppose every generation of office thus far has had its quirks.

   Word 2007 is horrible! I have to go about searching through ribbons now. For example, change a style, inster a picture, centre it, add a cation, thinkgs I culd do will little bother, now I ahve to run doing multiple clicks. The worst thing is that I can’t get the traditional menus back.
