Comments about Microsoft Word 2007 Home and Student Edition for Windows:
While this is called the "Home and Student Edition" of MS Word 2007, it is so feature-rich that it serves just fine for a small business. The reorganized ribbons are a pleasure to use. Finally it is easy to see what the features are; locate the controls; and invoke them.
Having said that, the underlying program seems almost identical to the deeply annoying MS Word 2003 I used for years. That is to say, formatting disappears at the click of a "backspace": and automatic numbering and outlining seem to have a mind of their own. MS Word continues to have a "father knows best" attitude instead of getting out of the user's way and allowing her or her real control.
Well, I'm a person who thinks that WordPerfect 6.1 for DOS was a perfect word-processing program. I can do fewer things now, and with less ease, than I could 20 years ago. Given that, Word 2007 is still a big relief after struggling with previous versions.
