M$ word is confusing!

[paul101]

why do they have to make the ui of ms word so comfusing


a). it took me 10 minutes to figure out that you click the stupid orb to get to the print menu

b). where on earth is the "undo" button

c). where are the help files?? i don't think they've included them. . . ? :confused:

d). it takes you half an hour to find anything!!

Uh, the "Undo" button would be the little backward-arrow next to the "Save" button at the very top of your screen...

I've personally had no qualms with Office 2007. I hope the rest of your experience with it goes well. :)

Ah well...
But you don't really actually have to use Word, you know.
Might i suggest OOo?

open office is pretty good and it's free. Does pretty much all the same things that m$ does. Give it a try. My only complaint is that I haven't figured out how to get it to stop trying to complete words for me. (I'm sure that I will solve that soon, though.):popcorn:

Ctrl-Z is Undo on almost all Windows applications, unless that changed in Vista too...

It did not. :)

davidpeace -

Go to Tools in OpenOffice Writer - then Autocorrect - Word Completion Tab - turn the word completion function off there...

(Drives me nuts whenever I install a fresh OpenOffice & can't remember how to do this... )

In OOo.Writer - Tools > AutoCorrect... > Word Completion.

Un-check "Enable word completion" :)

I personally feel the ribbon much more convenient than the old Office 2003 one

I'm surprised that it didn't work, Ctrl+Z sometimes works in Ubuntu too....:confused:

I've had no real need to use MS Office - my previous desktop even came with Open Office's predecessor, "Star Office", preinstalled.

I hate the ribbon, give me office XP/2000 anyday.

I love Microsoft Office.

The only reason I use OpenOffice is because it's free.

Not saying that OpenOffice is a bad office suite. It is the best non-Microsoft office suite I've ever used. I can still do what I could in MS Office and get what I need to get done done.

I think Office 2007 is the best Office Suite out there, much better then Open Office.org if you ask me.

agreed.

even though I tend to agree with that I think it's not fair to compare a free office suite with Office which is quite expensive
as a value/money comparison, openoffice wins hands down :)

really. . . all it is is eye candy... take away that, and its just the same functionalities as every other word processor. . . !

You may be right for the most part, but I have to say, Office 2007 has some impressive chart-making tools. The graphics involved are much better than OpenOffice.

What's wrong with gedit nano and vim?

They all do the job...

[darrelljon]

Can you turn the ribbon on and off?
