Our reviews of Microsoft Office 2007 detail the installation process and the ingredients of each edition. You'll have to be online to access services later, such as Help and How-To as well as Clip Art and document templates. Our installation of various Office suites on Windows XP computers took between 10 and 20 minutes, which was quicker than prior editions of Office. It's easier to get a handle on document security, but those who only need basic typing features may not want to relearn the interface or deal with the new file formats.
Bloggers and researchers may also benefit.
New picture-editing tools help you deck out documents and play with fancy fonts. With this update, Microsoft Word 2007 becomes a more image-conscious application. Decide for yourself by downloading the beta version from our Downloads section, or heading over to Microsoft's site directly.Microsoft Word 2007's document types, interface, and some features-very nearly every aspect of this word processor-have changed. Other new features include syncing between Outlook contacts and those in social media Web sites such as LinkedIn, and Office Web Apps, giving people in different locations the chance to edit a document over the Internet simultaneously.Īs always, the Internet is full of those saying that there is no compelling reason to upgrade (partly true), and those predicting the imminent death of Office (still a long way off in our view, but becoming more likely every year). It still confuses the hell out of us to be honest, but we'll take whatever we can get in this department. Speaking of the ribbon, it's been tweaked in Office 2010 in an attempt to make it easier to use. We're still struggling with the new ribbon-style toolbars in the current version and have lost countless hours trying to work out where all our icons have gone in Excel. We've already written a fair amount about the new features in 2010 (see ' more screenshots than you could possibly want'), but the upshot is that 2010 is much less revolutionary than Office 2007 was, thank goodness.
