This is a big step backwards. It wouldn't be possible to run it on a decent level without Google. Things that are easy and clearly set out in Word 2003 have now been hidden away in Word 2007. It may even have been removed. After months with this on my job, the conclusion is allways: This is a BIG step backwards.
When I have to change Word 2003 on my personal computer I guess it will be time to go for OpenOffice.

Horrible Leap Backward
22 July 2007
Microsoft has taken a gigantic leap backward with Word 2007. The interface is horrible...virtually unusable. Everything takes forever to find now. The simplest commands are no longer located in any logical place. I spend 75% of my time hunting for stuff that used to be easily and predictably placed in the interface. This product is an attempt by Microsoft to impress somebody with a slick looking interface. Unfortunately, usability was not just a low priority - it was completely excluded from the list. I cannot use this garbage. I need a word processor that let's me spend my time writing instead of looking up stuff in help.

All Flash -- No Substance
13 Sep 2007
The new version of office should be provided as part of a training seminar on what not to do when building a user interface. The new ribbon style of interface fails in all points, putting specialty features used in a fraction of documents, such as mail merge, reviews and citations, front and center while burying standard features amidst a bewildering array of outsized toolbar buttons. With no "classic view" option or equivalent, the end effect is to reduce professionals, who have become accustomed to a standard interface over many years, to spend several minutes hunting through an interface that makes little logical sense to accomplish what should be a five second task.
If that were not enough, the new version of office breaks backwards compatibility for a number of standard features when working with documents saved in older formats and with 3rd-party plug-ins. Indexes do not port over nicely between versions, nor do a number of other minor features, while the 3rd-party application Camtasia caused Power Point to crash to desktop repeatedly.
In return for these types of headaches, the new version offers almost nothing new in the way of features or fixes to longstanding bugs and quirks. Essentially we are offered the same word processing, spreadsheet and presentation applications spruced up with an unintuitive user interface that may look "gee whiz" during a demo, but quickly fails to impress when it comes to actual usage.
As a professional who heads up a technical publications department for a software firm, I've watched productivity drop dramatically when it comes to using the new office for creating materials. I can only hope that Microsoft in the future spends less time worrying about how snazzy the gradient fill effects are and starts to again to look at the functionality that made its products great in the first place.

Nightmare
20 Oct 2007
Microsoft had done it again. An updated product where the user interface looks slick on the surface but is a nightmare to use. It seems like they are so large that all they care about is looking good, actual ease of use does not seem to be a priority. The beauty of the original was the ability to customize the buttons you use often to be right in front of you when you needed it. The ones you didn't need could be in drop down menus to go get here and there as required. Now you have to literally search for the command you need through multiple pages of options, most of which you will never use. You get to see what a great product it is every time you need to perform a function by having to search through all the other functions Word can perform trying to find the one hidden one you are looking for. And apparently they are so concerned about their customer's needs and wants that they left no option to use the classic view. They seem almost to have known just how awful the new interface is so to avoid nobody actually using it they left you no option if you upgrade or buy a new computer.
