Frustration city...

Does anyone at Microsoft actually use the help facility for Office 2007?

It is particularly frustrating to be pushed onto their vaunted "ribbon" interface, straight into the path of a steaming deadline, only to find that not only can one not make sense of the goddam interface, but the help system only wastes your time!

I can only imagine it being foisted on below-standard employees at Redmond, as an incentive to find another job.

Cheers...

Personally, I refuse to budge from Office 2000. It works fine. Plus I got it free ;)

Office 2007 is a pain. I'd rather have the old interface back.

I've steadfastly refused to "upgrade" from 2003...and for 70% of what I need an office suite for, I use OpenOffice. The other 30% holds absolutely no reason or drive for me to spend the extra money to move to 2007.

produces a wonderful word macro package that implements the Word 2003 interface within Word 2007.
