We just upgraded to Word and Excel 2007, is that the same thing as Windows 7? I don't think it is. Are we here as far behind technically as I think we are?
I'm having trouble finding my old icons, ways to do things.

windows is the operating system, word/excel are programs.
2007 is similair to 2010 tho....but i'd much rather have 2003
I reverted my PC to XP...
don't know for how long i can get away with that
Windows 7 was getting me to the point that I didn't even want to get near my laptop
gotta admit older office suites were a bit more user friendly, but after you get used to 10 i think its way more functional...trick is to put all your usual stuff up on a "personally configured" toolbar and then you can find stuff without switching all those views all the time
good luck to you all :roll:

still haven't found the option for the classic view.
I have been copying the excel.xlb file to each computer for years so that I always have all the right buttons at the top, I would be very lost without it

.xlb???
i've always just set up the toolbars each time i was upgraded or got a new pc? i did copy my macro syntax thru the years....
i don't know why they don't give you the option for excel classic view. these ribbons are fuckin retarded.

yeah, a long time ago I set the toolbars and buttons the way I wanted to, it saves it in a file on the hard-drive. I copied it out to a place on the network so I could pass it on to my boss, she wanted it. And I made a copy to put on my home pc's.
Do a search on *.xlb to find it. Each version of Windows puts it in a different location.

see I kind of knew that, I just don't think like that.
there's a reason I changed majors in college and got out of the computer field

yeah..i work in airforce..what need an office??

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

I remember having OS2 operating system, Wordperfect and Lotus 123
Ha! It took me forever to use Word. I never wanted to give up my wordperfect!
I work in IT. We're slowly but surely migrating everyone to windows7, office 2010. We outsourced our office application help though. Still get the crap calls from people that shouldn't be allowed near a computer, let alone have them try to figure out office. It's really not that difficult, just somewhat inconvenient when you're used to the old one. We've been on Office 2007 forever though so it's not that big a change. But, seriously...users can be so....dumb.
bugs in the way...I feel about you
