From: "Tony Jollans" My forename at my surname dot on 31 May 2010 06:31 Yes. Hard to answer such a general, and somewhat subjective, question. Office 2010 offers some new and improved functionality that you may, or may not, be interested in. It also fixes many bugs that were in 2007, so, yes, it is better. Whether or not it is enough better to justify upgrading is a personal decision. I don't yet have 2010 on all my machines but intend to have soon. -- Enjoy, Tony www.WordArticles.com "kristain via OfficeKB.com" <u59322(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a8d239ff3e705(a)uwe... > Is Office 2010 better than Office 2007 > > -- > Message posted via OfficeKB.com > http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/ms-word-general/201005/1 >
From: Terry Farrell on 31 May 2010 06:51 I agree with Tony. My take is that some (not all) of the terrible blunders of 2007 have been addressed. Not perfectly, but there's some better thought put into the interface in particular. For some examples, the Ribbon is now much more easily customised (though still far from as user-friendly as menus in 2003) and that idiotic Office carbuncle has been replaced by a sensible file button (blue background with File in white letters). All the Ribbon icons are much cleaner and easier to read. Though one glaring error (which I will still argue with the developers until I win) is that those stupid miniature arrows (Dialog Launchers) are still used in the Group Title bars to select the dialogs. Their defence in not making the whole title bar into a clickable button is that users may accidentally press the title bar to launch the dialogs! I find their argument is crazy: users will only be clicking in the title area to launch the dialog because the title bar does nothing! The old Print Preview Pane seems to have been replaced by a sub-standard offering, but in fact, it has merely been hidden from the users and the command can be added back to the QAT. Oops! Just climbing down from my soap box. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "kristain via OfficeKB.com" <u59322(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a8d239ff3e705(a)uwe...

From: Graham Mayor on 31 May 2010 06:55 If you have spent money on the Office 2003 proofing tools and still wish to use them, Word 2010 will not allow that, whereas Word 2007 will. Personally I prefer the Word 2007 colour scheme, and I don't much care for the ribbon that has been added to Outlook. I am in no hurry to 'upgrade'. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "kristain via OfficeKB.com" <u59322(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a8d239ff3e705(a)uwe... > Is Office 2010 better than Office 2007 > > -- > Message posted via OfficeKB.com > http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/ms-word-general/201005/1 >
From: Yves Dhondt on 1 Jun 2010 15:21 They might have replaced that "idiotic Office carbuncle" with something more sensible, but they forgot to put the more sensible thing in the sensible place, namely where that carbuncle was... I can't find it back right now, but I have seen screenshots showing that the quality of the icons and text is actually becoming worse with each version of Office (starting from Office 2003). Apparently, everything depends on your screen settings. I would update if you want to use equations in Powerpoint (as it now has the same possibilities as Word) or want to be able to manipulate images more easiliy from Word. The ribbon is hardly a reason to upgrade. Yves "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell(a)msn.com> wrote in message news:%23hvsr8KALHA.3840(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... I agree with Tony.
