Worked great. No issues. I can't understand how MS can do something like this with no notice to the consumer. Needed a paper for school. Printer down at home so sent doc to school computer. Nothing but jibberish and I had no idea why...researched the net to find the problem. Late to class...Thanks a lot Microsoft! Hmmm...is there a space between the words Open and Office?

I loved versions! And what's up with the quick parts?!), but overall I think it is more user-friendly (the ribbon..that is). The save as pdf option is great. The Quick Access toolbar is really the only custom toolbar anyone really needs. I even like the themes. If you are still having trouble navigating through Word 07, I made a formatting video for Relief: A Quarterly Christian Expression.

So, it was worth it for me. However, I doubt it is worth the full price of an upgrade. Do you have to pay for an upgrade? Sure, it has a "sleeker" design, and there are a few additional features. It does allow you to save your files in 2003 format, and I do that for all of my school papers since my professors don't yet have 2007. I like it. If you can get it at a discounted price, then I recommend an upgrade. Otherwise, I'd pass.
