We recently upgraded to MS Office 2010 (and boy, is the learning curve painful). I was asked to insert some charts into a PowerPoint file and send them to someone we work with a lot, but isn't on staff. Well, I did so. About 15 minutes after I sent it off I got a call and this plaintive voice says, "I can't open the file." Luckily, I realized what the problem was - he hadn't upgraded - and was able to send the file saved in the older version.

Wait, worse than upgrading to 2007?

Don't know - we went directly from 2003 to 2010.

2010 is LOADS better than 2007.

I'll take your word for it (Word?) - but trying to work my usual schedule, with our biggest conference coming up, is painful.

Oh, it's still totally a learning curve (we upgraded in April, I publish for a living, and I am still learning it!), but 2007 was very confusing and counter-intuitive. 2010 goes back to making more sense.

I'm slightly boggled - I'm finding it very confusing to have to keep clicking on tabs ... and then finding that a lot of what I want to do doesn't seem to be available. I guess I'll get used to it ... eventually.

Toddson,
I am with you. I was told '10 was much better too and I find it aggravating. Microsoft is driving me to Pages.
