I also agree. I have a client, that despite everything I have ever demonstrated, tabulated, kept track of, etc. is insistent that I do all original development in Word and yep, I have shown/demonstrated unequivocally that things can take up to 30% longer to accomplish. Many, many times, I fix "A" don't even touch "B" and go in after the fix to find now that "B" is totally hosed for no apparent reason other than Word felt like crashing/mucking up again. I know more workarounds in Word to force it to do what I need/want than actually know how to use it the way it is "supposed" to work and that's a big "supposed."
As for 2007 - I agree about how non-intuitive the ribbons are, which just adds to the time. Finding a command that was once one click, maybe two clicks at most is now three to four, if it's even where you would expect to find it, is the norm with this blasted ribbon.

Although, I'm tempted to amend her statement to say "it would take AT LEAST 25-30% longer". I haven't used the most recent version of Word either, but I'm sure if things had improved, I'd have heard about it through the grapevine.

I estimate that Word docs take 25-30% longer just because of the inherent issues. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as spectrumwrit...@q.com.
