Improvements of great magnitude, however, plan on a learning curve.

This is an improvement and not just an upgrade from the 2003 and earlier office tools. The only thing is that it takes a little time upfront to select and adjust the environment for your purpose. I find every that I use the product I find a useful function that I would like to have known about sooner.

The saved files use less space on the disk. And they are easier to save or “save as.”

I am using this suite on Windows XP, Vista, and Vista 64, as it comes with three licenses. Most of my work and this review are on Vista 64 which I also find to be quite flexible.

I will have to eventually purchase a more expensive version of office but I want to master this one first. As part of the mastering, I am also dabbling in speech recognition. This is working quite well.
