Hi - I am writing technical software manuals since a couple of years now. Always using Word. And it worked fine with the menus. Having been forced to switch to Word2007 a couple of month ago has not done any good so far. I am still searching where the features are now, hidden behind or buried deep down in some ribbons. Just find out that the last feature dialog is still the same as it was in Word 2003. You just have to search for it! Right now I need almost twice the time to finish a manual as it was with Word 2003. Great advantage. As a private user I guess will still use Word 2003 for a long time.
