OK, so what you have is from your own experience only, and exclusively with people who used older versions. You don't have any data to back up your claim that "the public" thinks Office 2007 is confusing, bloated, and slow, which is what I wanted to know. One other point is that, from what you said, you have little or no experience with what new users, starting fresh with 2007, think. It's possible that the ribbon interface is far more intuitive and easier to use for them--your experience doesn't appear to provide that perspective. > don't demand that everyone else just doesn't know what they > like... or what works best for them. Looked over my messages, did not find any demand like that. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
