Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 UPGRADE

Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 UPGRADE Review

I have installed this newest version on both a computer with Windows XP and one with Windows 7 - in both cases, I had no difficulties or glitches of any kind. The one I purchased through Amazon was installed on the system with Windows XP.

While just a bit disorienting at first (aren't all new things like that?!), I found with just a bit of perseverence, I was easily able to adapt to the new ribbon layout. I'm astounded at the variety of styles, library items, templates, colors, etc., offered in this new version of Word and Publisher. I've been going through tutorials to learn PowerPoint, too, and it seems to be equally filled with all manner of backgrounds, templates, etc., to give those of us who are "creatively challenged" a big jumpstart!

I highly recommend this latest version of Office, but be prepared to be in front of your computer for a while...with so many choices for creatively styling slides, letters, posters, etc., it is difficult to pull yourself away! Such are the perks to this fun and application-packed software.
