What our customer's say!

"Microsoft WORST 2007", Word 2007 is a perfect example of why you shouldn't try to fix something that was never broken. Instead of improving Word, they made it ugly and just plain annoying. An experienced user can figure out how to use it...but the hunting and searching for functions that used to be a snap to find is a frustrating, time-consuming waste. The toolbar is now a "ribbon" that's a cluttered mess of icons instead of quick, simple pull-down menus. I wish I'd done more research, and I'd have ordered an older version of Word with my new laptop. THIS SYSTEM SUCKS. I think they were trying to court Apple users and instead alienated their loyal MS customers. One star isn't low enough.

"Don't buy it", I will go back to OpenOffice - its free and usable whereas this program only costs money

"Word and Office 2007 are complete disasters", I have never encountered as much frustration with a piece of software than I have with MS Word 2007, and Office 2007 for that matter. The software is user unfriendly (using the ribbon and finding commands), poorly designed, and has too many errors in formating documents, especially using the styles features. With these flaws and many others in the software, it could only be a relief to use a replacement program from the competitors. MS has gained a reputation of making really bad software and charging an awful lot for it. MS Word 2007(and Office) are examples of the really bad software.

"How NOT to win customers and influence people", I am a long time user of Word (over 12 years) and other computer systems, and this is the closest I have ever been to throwing my computer out of the window.

My home productivity has dropped through the floor since I installed 2007 (having lost the disks for 2003 in a house move, but having found incompatibility issues with Open Office too much of a pain to deal with).

My experience includes lecturing to consultants on website usability, and my opinion is firmly aligned with the one star raters.

The problem with the previous interface was not the menu content, but the menu structure. Too many options, you needed to be an advanced user to know how to switch them off permanently, inconsistencies with other applications in the suite etc.

The solution has made it much, much worse.
~ There is no option (or at least I haven't found it yet) to hide stuff you do not need.
~ It is incompatible with other toolsets like browsers and 99% of the other computer applications out there that still use menus and options.
~ It has changed where you find things (when a supermarket does this, their sales drop dramatically over the following 4 weeks).
~ The help file is only available online.
~ There is no option to return to the classic interface.
~ It took me over 15 minutes to find the keyboard shortcut alternatives for the new "menus" (eventually having to search the online help for "disability" - I use it for productivity) and some of the style formatting is still inaccessible or requires multiple key strokes to access
~ customisation is hidden on the different Word button icon that turns out to be a menu (under options - you can create your own ribbon, thank goodness!)
~ still yet to find how I attach an existing Word Template with all my macros and standard styles in it to this document (help returned over 15 answers and the most obvious one, isn't the answer).

As another reviewer mentioned elsewhere, I hate to think of the costs this is going to impose on my company's IT department to re-write the manuals, templates and retrain over 1,000 colleagues...

People who have never used Word before will get the hang of it soon enough. Anyone else, be prepared (and buy a copy of Office 2003 while you can!).

"Not a full version", I bought Word 2007 to install on all of my computers. I paid 80 dollars more for the full version than I would have for the student version so that I could use it more than 3 times. I used it on two computers and it won't install on any more. Nowhere on this product does it say the use is limited.

"Nightmare", Microsoft had done it again. An updated product where the user interface looks slick on the surface but is a nightmare to use. It seems like they are so large that all they care about is looking good, actual ease of use does not seem to be a priority. The beauty of the original was the ability to customize the buttons you use often to be right in front of you when you needed it. The ones you didn't need could be in drop down menus to go get here and there as required. Now you have to literally search for the command you need through multiple pages of options, most of which you will never use. You get to see what a great product it is every time you need to perform a function by having to search through all the other functions Word can perform trying to find the one hidden one you are looking for. And apparently they are so concerned about their customer's needs and wants that they left no option to use the classic view. They seem almost to have known just how awful the new interface is so to avoid nobody actually using it they left you no option if you upgrade or buy a new computer.

"Great Program!", This was just what I was hoping it was. Easy to use and straight forward. I do all of my letters, faxing, essays and all other word processing needs with this program.

"Word is impossible", Highlight : If you already know how to use Microsoft Word, then never upgrade!

As mentioned in the other reviews, the user interface is completely different. All functions are meant to be picture oriented under various tabs that you have to search through for everything.

If you are familiar with excel, it's even worse. Continue with the older software as long as you can.

"Poor customer research", The user interface for Microsoft's Office 2007 (which includes Word) is horrible. I had it installed at work thinking I had an upgrade. From the confusing and unintuitive user interface to formulas that don't work there is no way that I can recommend this for business professionals. Stay with 2003 or get Open Office unless you like pretty pictures.

"Not for the experienced user", Microsoft claims that the new "ribbon" interface allows users to more easily find and explore options. This may be true for new users; I wouldn't know. For those who use office programs daily and are well versed in the various options available, the new ribbon is infuriating. Worse, Microsoft offers no option to return to the classic menu system. I have seldom been so frustrated with an update. It's as if the people who traditionally use their products were completely ignored for the sake of new users.
