Anyone have an opinion about Microsoft Office Suites 2007?

Talk to your teachers about Open Office First. If they have no objections to you using it, why spend any money??? It's FREE.

"Are any of the additional programs worth it on the more expensive editions?", only if YOU need them.

Then, ask friends or other students, someone will have a copy that you can use to install it.

P.S. I did the same thing when I graduated, I spent $200 on Office Student & Teacher 2003. I found Open Office a month later and have been using it happily ever since.

Microsoft 2007 is another step in a descending staircase. None of the people who design microsoft office products have the sort of jobs that their customers do, and they tailor each new edition to provide 'eye candy' for their salesmen to show off.

If you need spreadsheets and a word processor and a mail client, nothing has improved since Office 2000. The mail client has actually got worse, and Excel was just as good in Office 98.

Word 2007 is not as practical a tool in a rushed busy office as its predecessors, and the number of finance/admin/customer service clerks who need to use 'powerpoint' or 'frontpage' during the course of a working year is a percentage somewhere around zero.

Get Open Office, because it is better by far.

get the Office Pro Plus for $76.

While I think Office 2007 made changes that are not really User friendly, lets face it, most US businesses will eventually be using it. Might as well become versed in it's use for having more desirable job skills.

I had to pay some ungodly amount ( $370?) for the Small Business version because I have hundreds of designs made from years past in MS Publisher ( CD melted in house fire!)

Microsoft Office Pro here.....I love it... I like Microsoft Outlook for my email better. Even Microsoft Office Word is so much better... Lots of cool features... Microsoft Frontpage is awesome... Power Point is cool with 2007 also... Excel is worth it....

I'd get it now...If you have the money there is no since in waiting...

i take advantage of Microsoft workplace 2007 (the professional version however) and that i stumble on the terrific element approximately it is the hot designs obtainable - including headings, fonts and templates and likewise to no longer point out the "stay Preview" characteristic, which facilitates you to hover your mouse over formatting thoughts including fonts and facilitates you to work out see the way it is going to look earlier confirming it. The worst element, to me, is the interface - it takes a whilst to get used to it.

office 2007 is not user friendly but has alot of new features that widens your options on doing things.
