Does anyone else hate this? Is there a hidden button somewhere to revert everything back to office 03?
It automagically changes all the line spacing options and everything, which make it nigh on impossible to do a cv without changing them all back to normal stuffs.
Much prefer '03 but want the latest and greatest so will have to get the hang of it. Ribbon is shit, I defined my own style sets before and could use them easily, now it's just, gah.

I was thinking about it, my version of office is really old and needs updating. Office 07 looked really good in all the promos?
It must have some redeeming features?

If you use office a lot and have considerable experience with the caveats and using macros etc. then you will think 'where the hell have all the options gone'. It's replaced with a 'ribbon' to define the style of a document and things like that.
If you want to buy it then at least take the time to download and test Open Office 2

I've got 1.7 GHz Laptop with 2GB of RAM, 2MB of 2nd Level Cache and 128MB set aside for the graphics card and it can struggle at times on Word 2007 - the program is badly written on purpose to encourage people to upgrade to faster and faster PC's for no reason apart from it helps generate new business. I mainly use Word to take screenshots and write data of online purchases and it does auto rotate the pages for me, but then again can't fid how to turn that feature off.
Chances are ill end up back on 03 sometime soon...
Unfortunately the "Normal" style has a spacing issue - but the option "No Spacing" takes it back to what one would expect in `03.
I use it here, and I have to say I found it a little strange initially, but after having a look around - it's not too foul.
To be fair, if I want something fancy in a document, I'll knock something up in Paintshop Pro. Of course, the Jasc version before it became Corel :-)
Go to the page layout ribbon then click on the little arrow pointing down-right. This will bring up the paragraph dialog box. (There's an attachment showing what I mean)
The same applies for the other dialog boxes that you're used to.
