1111053 2010-06-17 10:59:00 It took me a while to get used to 2007, but I like it. Using 2010 now & I'm glad they brought back the file button - makes phone support so much easier Greven (91)
1111054 2010-06-17 11:17:00 What I've found... Office 2007 = Office 2003, just that everything is hiding in different places. OK once you know where everything is I suppose. forrest44 (754)
1111055 2010-06-17 11:27:00 Used both 2007 and the RTM of 2010, not to much difference outwardly between the two.

Didn't take long to get used to it, and where things are.

Like most programs though most people will only use a small portion of what its capable of doing.

Some of the time, people simply dont like change, and as soon as something comes along thats different they automatically go negative about it without even trying it out. All in all though I think its a lot better.

Office 2010 has a few more hidden "Tricks-Features" that 2007 doesn't.just a few (www.youtube.com)

1111056 2010-06-17 12:12:00 I cannot use the add-on b/c the course requires the ribbon use.

Maybe if larger orgs roll 2007/10 out there will be many complaints. Not to mention the tight deadlines required to submit work.
Anyone here a Microsoft Certified Trainer - how are the users adapting to them?

Orgs pay big bucks, bumped into a training org and they charge $400 for intro to Win7 and $2,000 to teach you how to configure it.

1111057 2010-06-17 12:15:00 It was really easy because everything was easy to see and there were so many cool features that were buried in previous versions. A really nice GUI :) beeswax34 (63)

It will be interesting to see how many of those features are backwards compatible with previous versions. For example, the video controls on a video in a PowerPoint slide look great, but they will be useless if most computers still run older versions of Office.

Hmm. Having just re-read what I have written, I think the PowerPoint example is wrong. Older versions of PowerPoint would display the video as they currently do (image of file). The control buttons are not built into the actual slide, but the program.

1111059 2010-06-17 13:25:00 Office 2010 Publisher does NOT have one feature that 2007 does have. You can't use it to create web sites any more.

However if you have a site created in a previous version you can open same and work on it as usual.

We're a smallish company and rolled out 2k7 progressively over the last two years. Apart from initial complaints of "where's xyz" everyone has adapted to it fine.

One of our clients did a large Office 2k7 rollout affecting hundreds of users in the last 12-18 months - I wasn't involved in that project, however I understand they did extensive testing to make sure legacy applications, documents, templates etc. would work properly, and provided training to staff over a number of months. From what I have heard, the project was a huge success.
