I'm planning on keeping Office 2003 but with the intention of trying the on line version of 2010 when it comes out. I found Google docs mashed up my formatted Word doc CV's etc... but maybe Office on line won't?

From the Office 2010 website-
You must install the Microsoft Office 2010 before using Office Web Apps. Install it today, and then get started using your Office Web Apps.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

When I started using office 2007 I wasn't required to do much in the way of documentation so I was a very light user

Once you know how it's organised and how the context sensitive areas work then it does help you concentrate more on your work and less on the toolbars
This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

When I worked for a MS Gold partner I was asked to test the pre-release beta. The product is really great to use, however, I did lose a days work one day even after saving the document every 1 hour. Every single version was corrupt so I gave up at that point. Will be waiting for full release befire I start using it again.
One feature I loved - Outlook can group emails by conversation a la Google mailComment

Downloaded and installed the full version on a spare laptop and, surprise surprise, it is very similar to Office 2007.
One addition I noticed, was the ability to customise the different ribbon 'tabs' to exactly how you want it.
A good feature for those that have gotten used to the ribbon concept but want more control over its content.Comment

Worst bloody thing ever the ribbon concept. Unlike many others, I can read, and associate functionality with the word it says on the menu bar, as opposed to some fcking obscure icon, on a ribbon I would never have associated with the function that I would like to actually do.
Completely slowed me down and whoever in Microsoft thought it was a good idea to swap it without dual functionality is frankly a paedophile waiting to be caught!!!!What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Took me a few uses to get the ribbon basics, and a few weeks to find the things I use often. Some things I forget still, but on the other hand others are much easier that I found hard before.
Note, MS have started using the ribbon is other apps so you will struggle to escape it. On Windows 7, even MSPaint uses it...
When you start resisting change rather than taking it in your stride, it's a bad sign. Ribbon is no bigger a shift than other things, it's you that is different this time round.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Agree it is a pain to use at first but I jumped from Office 2003 to Office 2007 early on precisely to overcome this learning curve sooner rather than later.
Also, I am not a high level user of Office apps which made the jump easier for me.Comment
