Post #9 Office 2007

Last week at work Office 2007 was installed, before then only the student computers had it on them, the faculty and staff computers were still on 2003 (why who knows, but our excuse of 'well we don't have it on our computers' won't work anymore). Anyway I was worried something would go terribly wrong with the files transferring over. However everything went fairly smoothly, I had a few strange messages come up but nothing that wasn't fixable. I'm the type of person who if it was my computer I would just click buttons to the point where either I figure out what is happening or my computer goes up in smoke, but since it was not my computer I had to call our tech person a few times. The biggest problem, that wasn't even a problem just an annoyance was our Interlibrary Loan access file resorted itself. Instead of being in number order it was arranged alphabetically. However, a grad student came in a fixed it two seconds on monday so all was well.

So last week I spent some time playing around with the new formats of the programs. I have to say I hate word, I don't know if it because I can't find anything but to me the new task bars are annoying. I can't find simple tasks and you can't have multiple taskbars up at the same time. But the thing that is annoying me the most if you have to click like four times to print something, before all I had to click was the printer button in the taskbar but now you have to click the rainbow thing icon, click print, click some other things then finally click ok. I think I'm just impatient. I do love the new powerpoint, you can do so much to pictures, I wish I had a reason to do a presentation.
