4.0 out of 5 stars Excel's New Format, July 12, 2008

This review is from: Microsoft Office Excel Home and Student 2007 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I've only been using this new version of Excel for several days, but it clearly deserves at least 4 stars. It's much more user-friendly than my previous version of Excel and offers additional features, but it takes a little getting used to. There is tons of stuff at the top, and lots of tabs through which to navigate. But it seems to be well worth getting to know.

This review is from: Microsoft Office Excel Home and Student 2007 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

We are very happy with Microsoft Office 2007 for home. Our old edition wouldn't even print anymore. We just have to learn the new commands and learn how to navigate again. What we have used, we really like. It is much easier to use than Office 1997.
Sincerely yours,
Wanda Bass

Microsoft Office Excel Home and Student 2007

I was pleased with the prompt receipt of this product and the packaging. Most of all I was happy that I was able to get this product below the cost of any of the retail outlets that I checked out prior to this purchase. I should have gone to Amazon first and saved the hassle and money spent for gas.
