Considering your skill level, I wouldn't do anything to YOUR computer unless
you need to solve a clear problem. Every new product, especially from MS,
carries new risks. Leave it alone.

Well, I'm sure not as proficient as you, Jimh, and Harry. You guys
definitely know most of what there is to know about computers!

Office 2007 has reported as many or more problems than Vista.

I think I'll lose it.

Not being particularly computer literate, nor do I care to be, here's the
way I look at it, FWIW.

Unless there's a compelling reason to change from what is working, I leave
it alone.
I use programs until they just don't work anymore due to some "advancement"
in an OS, or it simply becomes so obsolete that I can't use it for current
applications.

Almost every time I've changed to something different when what I had served
the purpose well, I regretted it because it often screwed something else up.

Leave well enough alone.

I would guess it is best not too unless you have a clear need for it. I
cite 3 reasons.

1) Your friends you might mail docs to don't have 2007, the new format
2) It saves the files in the new format, there is not an easy way to turn
back
3) If you don't like it, not good.

Stick with what works.

Be aware the DOCX files Office 2007 produces are pretty much "write
only storage" for the rest of the world.


Sites like this will convert them, but what a pain in the ass for other
users. And, obviously unsuitable for anything considered secure.

Easy. If there were no God, then being anti-God would be rather stupid. As
you are not, by your own admission, stupid, there must be a God.
