i'm familiar with 2003. 2007 downgrade my office skill by half.

MS 2003 is better for ur laptop... But i love ms 2007 bcoz of its style and multi-functional. Can edit pic, new slide layout, better slide background and u also can animate the background. Honestly, when i 1st using MS 2007, it a little bit hard coz i'm not familiar with the button. But after 2-3 days, get use it better.

I still prefer 03 because 07 for me too lag

07 sucks. Use too much resource, too much useless feature...for me, all i need is basic WP function...no need all the fancy stuff...so if you just need basic function, office 2000 also more than enuff.

I think Office 07 looks messy and 'fancy' because of its Ribbon interface. Instead of having a traditional menu, it reveals most of the functions under each tab, showing everything you need and do not need all under the same tab.

That said, Office 03 does not have less 'useless' features than 07, it's just that 07 shows them all together and allow users to get quicker access to them, instead of the conventional style, where you'll need to browse through 'Tools>Options>bla bla>bla bla' or 'Insert>Table>Row>....‘. Some may find this messy if what they want no more than resizing font and changing alignment. But for those who need more than that, Office 07 actually has a shorter learning curve and isn't as difficult as 03 to find out what Microsoft Word has to offer. For example, i wasn't aware that Word has the ability to insert reference automatically until i used 07. Imagine how helpful it is in helping me to do my assignment.

how bout BT & save 4 bucks......

He's trying to support original software and why are you trying to recommend him to go the illegal way.

lolz that is what we call phail!

anyway, i think i'm too used to office03 coz when i use office07, i have to relearn everything.

maybe just a habit. but its confusing to use the menus like that

hahaha, i agree with you... at first it's very very hard to get use with the new menu system.. luckly the shortcut keys still works.

2003 is better than 2007...2007 for me to complicated to use..
