You do realise that the default document type in MS Office 2007 IS NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE with previous versions unless you download and install a converter? And that this converter is NOT available for Office 97 or 2000? There also have been many complaints on the office newsgroups about this so-called "revolutionary" interface. Also bear in mind that 75% of users of ALL office suites only use 25% of the available functionality. many people are NOT going to fork out the vast sum of money needed to buy Office 2007 for less than a quarter of the functionality..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
