Richard: Haven't put Office 2007 on my machine yet - at 79, I'm sort of leary or don't have enough nerve to even try it. My Son is a guru and tells me to leave it alone for now. Sorry.

Reply from Richard Rost:

Phil, I've always been a fan of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." I still run Windows 2000 and Office 2000 on my business machines. It's solid, tested software that does the job. Of course I have to keep up with the new technology myself, so on my personal computer and laptop I have Windows 7 and Office 2010. If you buy a new computer today, and you need Windows and Office, you have no choice but to get the latest version, or try and find an older, used copy somewhere like eBay. So, if the need ever comes around for you to learn it, you know where to go. :)
