Summary: I have previous vision, I removed it before I install this one. But I still have trouble to install it and computer don't give me any information instead of error encounter. called tech. support. they are very nice, but they even could not figure out why at first. they have to go second level. finally some one found that there are some old vision components still in my computer. they have to manuelly remove it, which took two weeks to solve this problem. after installation completed, it works great.

Strengths: Most widely used office suite by most employers. The design is user-friendly and easy to follow.

Weaknesses: I do have much to learn!

Summary: I have needed to acquaint myself with this standard for all offices and, having been out of the general work force for many years (self-employed,) I needed to bring my skills back up to date. What better way than to buy the office suite and dig in? It is the best dollar for dollar investment I have ever made in my education.

Strengths: Easy set up typical of previous MS Office versions. Includes latest Outlook, Word, Excel, Power Point, Access and Publisher.

Weaknesses: The new menus take a little getting used to. Word doesn

Summary: My vendor included the back up disk which was a nice touch. The only reason I upgraded from Office 2003 is I wanted the program to be compatible with Vista and I think that I will get used to the new menus in time.

Strengths: I bought it because it was highly recommended to me by other users; it contains significant improvements compared to previous versions, convenient layout of Outlook, Word, and Excel.

Weaknesses: It is quite different from prior versions, so it takes some time to learn how to use it.

Summary: If you have an older version of Microsoft Office, uninstall it completely before installing Microsoft Office 2007. If you don't, you may get problems/error messages during the installation of the 2007 version and might have to redo it all over again (I had to do it twice and spent almost two hours on the phone with the MS Office customer service). Although the wizard states that if you choose "upgrade" it will automatically uninstall all older versions -- in reality, it does not.
