 Better than what I've been using-BUT FREEZES UP, 2007-04-20
I bought this hoping that I would have a smooth transition from the Microsoft Works program that came with my five year old computer. That program worked fine but did not have all the bells and whistles that this program offers. Well, Home and Office 2007 freezes my computer if I leave it up for awhile. When it works, it is great. I don't mind and of the surface changes. I give it 3 stars because of the freezes. Very disappointing.

 Stay Away as long as you can!, 2007-04-16
They changed everything! In an effort to make it more user friendly, they've rearranged most of the controls. Menus are replaced by headings. It is difficult to accomplish what were easy changes before. Some of this will likely improve with use.
WORD 2007 is constantly trying to think for you, auto formatting as you type. However, it often isn't thinking what you are, and making it obey your commands is frustrated by the new headings. Particularly frustrating, when I "right-click" on a list to restart numbering at "A" (ie. after roman numeral II on an outline), WORD 2007 flatly refuses. My research paper is now formated:
I. Heading
A. subpoint
B. subpoint
C. subpoin
II. Heading
D. subpoint
E. subpoint
F. subpoint
III. Heading
G. subpoint etc....etc...
This is ridiculous and inexcusable! I also had to individually superscript 130+ footnotes. Somehow, in changing the font from the Widows default "Calibri" back to "Time New Roman," the footnote setting was altered and I have yet to determine how to restore it. However, if I open a new document it is fine, but I really don't want to retype a 30+ page research paper.
POWERPOINT 2007 works well enough, compared to the older version. They have added a few bell and whistles, but nothing that gets in the way.
If you have to buy a new computer you're likely stuck with the new MS Office 2007. But don't buy it until you have to. It is NOT an upgrade from the previous two versions.

hideous software, 2007-04-16
This is the worst thing since the Office Assistant animated paper clip. Forcing the "ribbon" on the user assumes that the user likes icons (I don't -- what's wrong with words??), and fills too much of the screen real estate. Nothing is where it should be. And what arrogance on the part of Microsoft to provide no alternate views, no "classic" view, just these piles and piles of inscrutable icons. Another oppressive, giant waste of my time and money at the hands of Microsoft.

Fabulous value, but..., 2007-04-13
If you use MS Office at home, this is the only way to go! It is way less expensive than buying the full version - and I don't use the other features, anyway. I am glad they finally labeled this as Home and Student - let's get real, that is how so many of us used the "student" version.
Having used computers for 20 years, yikes, I have forgotten way more programs than I use. I must say, the new version of MS Word is cumbersome and confusing. Instead of becoming more intuitive and using less keystrokes, it moved the other way. Yes, I'll get used to it, but come on Microsoft! Why did you make it so complicated to open or save a file?!!
Also, the doucments save as docx files, which aren't compatible with the rest of the world, so if you want to share with most of the rest of the world, you have to do a save as...
Too bad there isn't any real other choice out there.

 Microsoft Office Review, 2007-04-13
I really liked this version of Office. It makes formatting and other tasks like making tables, inserting bullets and the likes much easier.
I have not done any work on Excel 07 yet, so I can't give any feedback about it.
