One thing, Duncan, about moving to Office 2007: The interface is now
the 'dreaded' ribbon interface. It's not really all that bad, but it
takes a little getting used to.

Steve,
Can you explain the last line of your share: "Also, Excel 2003 broke
the linest function and even Microsoft says do not use it."
I admit that I continue Office2003 with some tweaks. O2K3 has been
good to me. I can move forward.
I am beginning to think it is time to spend coins and update my
MSOffice version.
Well, as long at whatever it is plays happy with WinXPpro. ATM, I
choose NOT to be driven to W7
just for another tweak of Office.
I figure I can now go to my local used bookstore and find an
Office2007 CD in readable shape.(?)
I already have 'patches' from MS that indicate I have parts of
Office2007 residing here now. Fine.
Yes, I am still testing OpenOffice also; and, may still just go there.
It is tough to toss ~30yrs of experience and familiarity with MSOffice
away. I am really slow with big, major MS apps.......... :)
Yes! Remaining a bit stone-age! LOL!

Whenever Excel detects a file made under a previous version of Excel
(even if it's just a service pack) it will ask you if you want to
save the 'changes', even if you haven't made any. It says, it
'recalculates' the spreadsheet. This drives us crazy at work because
we have something like 10 years of calibration sheets in various
versions of Excel. Of course, if you do 'upgrade' you loose the file
date, it changes it to today, then we can't tell whether it's really
been modified recently or not. Also, Excel 2003 broke the linest
function and even Microsoft says do not use it.

Is there a good reason why Win Excel wishes me to 'upgrade' my old
spreadsheets on either Save or Close post the install of SP3 for
Office?
Not quite sure how to react to this.
I use Office 2003, but with some new Office 2007 stuff now
too....... :)
Wondering only............. :)
