Office 2007 Review
I got the upgrade as many of my colleagues use Office 2007 and I thought I should keep up with them - but - can't see the benefit of it apart from smaller file sizes in Word. The user interface is not as easy to use as the previous version and the obvious areas needing improvement in Word (which I use most) have not been touched.
Make work easy 
Whether you like PC or mac you'll have to go a long way to find a better suite of programmes.
Office 2007 professional 
Once you accept that you have to put some effort into learning the new arrangements, it is very good.
Old dog new tricks...
Just a very quick review of this product.
I bought the professional edition as I required MS Access but my comments are relevant to the other packages.
Most people are completely familiar with the MS suite of products so my only comment is that as a user of Excel since 1995 I found the new version more difficult at first to use as quickly as I had done before when previously I have upgraded.
The new layout for me was not immediately intuitive and I spent a lot of frustrating time trying to find out where buttons and options were for fairly basic things I used to do very quickly and without any thought.
It is an old dog new tricks problem...
Having now used the new version for a month I have re-orientated myself to the new layout and find the improvements worth the initial frustration of getting used to the new way of working ( same applies to MS Word ).
There are many useful new features ( some of which I used to have to write VBA code for - especially the extra conditional formatting functionality included ).
I bought a new PC and given the expense of that I calculated the extra cost of upgrading my MS Office was worth it to be fully up to date. If I had not bought a new PC I don't think I would have upgraded quite yet.
I still have to save files in old formats when distributing files, losing a lot of the benefits of the 2007 suite, because I don't think there is a critical mass of other users yet using the 2007 versions.
Did MS need to bring out this new office suit ? Probably not. Is it better that the last version ? yes. Worth the money ? Probably only if upgrading your PC and O/S to keep everything with the current versions.
Disappointing
Microsoft have made fundamental changes to Word which to me are of no value, yet they have not addressed Word's weaknesses such as shambolic symbols, a third rate thesaurus or its inability to change the language of an entire document, to name but three. It is now necessary to perform two mouse clicks instead of one for common tasks. Worse still, as a long term professional user, it is no longer possible to customise the tool bar. In conclusion, Microsoft Office 2007 Professional Edition is hopelessly cluttered and less practical. I shall not be using it.
