Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition (3 User Licence) (PC)

Worked fine despite microsoft not because of have upgraded since but still harassed by microsoft to buy stuff i do not need

Being a lady of the "not so young" generation, but still wanting the latest technology, I deliberated for sometime on whether to buy Office 2007. I read all the reviews, both positive and negative. Some say Office 2007 was excellent, some say it wasn't worth buying. Some said it took ages to install, and then didn't work. Some said that the 3 licence version, wouldn't work on more than 1 computer. I must say these negative reports did rather put me off. But I bit the bullet and went ahead and purchased the 3 licence version.All I can say, is "simplicity itself" What an excellent product, so well thought out. More than I expected. It installed in just a few minutes, without any problems at all. I then went ahead and installed it onto my sons laptop, also without any problems.So if you want a new and refreshing version of Office, then this is the one for you. Yes it is different, but then that is why we buy it. Spend half an hour pressing all the links, see how it works.Also what great value from Amazon, and delivery once again, quick and without problems. Thank you Amazon, it is a pleasure buying from you.

So far I've enjoyed using the tools, been a long time and expert user of Office since early 90's. But ended up stuck with Office 2k for nearly 10years. Only reason to move was it was harder and harder to run 2k on the newer Windows versions, especially Outlook, that said the Home version of 2007 excludes Outlook, which is a real shame as it the one tool I used the most (still do in tandem with 2007). So what's changed, well, as far as I can see so far, not a lot! But the interface has me searching high an low for the features I know are there, slowly though I have tracked down the things I've looked for and I'm now beginning to like the Ribbons, still like the old menu system though - I knew where things were. So if all these changes are, in my opinion, not that great why a 4? Well actually I love the layout, especially the Excel interface, and some of the other new features I've stumbled on (change tracking is a huge improvement). It's like a breath of fresh air and apart from getting frustrated when I can't find what I know is there, it's like being a child in a sweet shop and I'm on a new voyage of discovery. I still think Office is by far the best package around, just wish the home version included Outlook and Access, but can't have it all for just £70, and even at £200+ it's not really such a bad deal every 10 years or so....If like me you still need Access and Outlook, I'm successfully running MS Office 2007 Home & Student Edition alongside Outlook 2k and Access 2k on Windows 7 (64 bit). And it's all working exceptionally well...

probably like most people who have used microsoft office from inception, the new visuals and file menus of the 2007 version initially jarred with me.however, after a long period of use, they all make sense. menu items likely to be used first are to the left, most are in the middle, and the finishing off ones are to the right, in logical, intuitive fashion. once this is grasped the whole system is easy to pick up.i also like the ease of use too. some have complained that we now are forced to use more mouse clicks. i don't find this to be true. indeed, on many occasions the options are laid out so obviously that two clicks do instead of five or six. e.g., especially in formatting tables.one of the best things about word 2007 is its ability (with a tiny downloadable add-on) to save documents in .pdf format. previously i had had to have the entire open office suite on my computer just to do this one simple task. now i don't have to.office 2007, in particular word 2007, KNOWS how to layout the menu commands. in previous versions, command buttons would frequently be lost off the right-hand side of the screen. word 2007 keeps the important buttons and, if your screen size is smaller (say, you have a 15" monitor) the "sacrificed" buttons will be the style buttons, which are still easily accessible via a drop-down menu.a useful new feature: selecting text with similar formatting. just put cursor on, say, a word already italicised. then select all text with similar formatting. now you can change all text in italics to bold. a simple and easy way to do something that previously was time consuming and awkward.another thing: creating and editing charts just got a whole lot easier. the process is so intuitive (or perhaps previous versions of word were counter-intuitive) that it's difficult to make a mistake.oh, and a last thing, why would you actually pay MORE for word 2007 alone when the office 2007 package is CHEAPER?would i buy it again? absolutely!

works very well

I am using it

First of all (and most importantly) I couldn't believe the price! It is almost HALF of what it is currently offered anywhere else (WalMart, Best Buy, Microsoft.com all offer it for approx $150 and amazon.com has it for approx $85!). I was a little skeptical about buying it at such a reduced price. I was afraid that it didn't include something that the other "full price" version had. I shouldn't have even worried. It is EXACTLY the same product as others are selling! It's amazing! I don't think you'll find a lower price anywhere else for this product!OK. Enough of that. About the software. It is definitely an upgrade and Excel especially has a different look and feel to it, although I can't see where there's a whole lot of difference in the functionality. The formulas for Excel are all organized alot more neatly although the other buttons at the top seem to be more scattered. Word and PowerPoint are basically the same as the previous versions except they have been given the same "tabbed menu interface" that Excel is now sporting. The tabs are going to take some getting used to but I know that once I get used to it, I will like it alot better because when you click on the tabs, the options are more spread out and even give you word and picture descriptions of what task each button performs.I have never used OneNote before, but it gives a very nice introduction once you open it up for the first time. It tells you all about what it does and even gives you some interactive examples on how to use it. I am currently going back to college to get another degree so this may help me with my notetaking (or help me with my lack of notetaking ability). Here is a brief statement that comes up when you open up the program for the first time:OneNote is a place for gathering, organizing, searching, and sharing notes, clippings, thoughts, reference materials, and other information. All your notes will be visible here -- organized by notebooks, sections, and pages.Overall I like the look and feel of the 2007 Office version as compared to previous versions. I think the addition of the Microsoft OneNote is definitely a good one since this is the Office Home and Student Edition and most likely if you are looking to purchase this, you are a student.

Excellent

I've been using this version of Microsoft Word for years now, and it still suits my rather modest needs. This version handles all the standard formats for word processing documents, like .doc and .docx and .rtf and .txt, and it has a number of other, specialized formats as well. It also allows you to save Word documents as PDF files, which on occasion comes in quite handy.I use this program to write novels for self-publishing, which requires some fancy formatting here and there, and so far it has served me well in this capacity. It allows me to format my documents in a variety of styles, usually 6" by 9" in size, though I publish on Smashwords in 8 1/2" x 11" sometimes. I find Word fairly easy to use, though it took me a while to get to know all the features I needed. If you're new to Word I'd recommend getting a tutorial manual or program to walk you through the features, because Word's "Help" function is not particularly useful. These days this is an old version of the program; there has been a 2010 version and a 2013 version since this version came out, and it's wisest to stay current with software. Only buy this program if you're going to use it on an old computer with Windows Vista installed on it.As to Word, this is an outstanding program which should handle all your word processing needs for now and into the future. It is the industry trend-setter for a good reason; it is superb!
