Better Half Review of Office 12

by Jason on August 25th, 2006

We’ve got a problem folks. My wife is not enjoying her experience with using some of the Office 2007 apps. She was having problems figuring out how to fix some layout issues with tables and getting photos and text to align like she wanted to in her document.

She was very frustrated and asked to remove the “stupid beta software” and go back to the old version. I was trying to help her understand how things were working, but she was stressed out because she needed the document printed and was running late because of her challenges.

Regretfully, I couldn’t easily figure out the problem either. In the long run, I pretty much deleted and retyped some of the infomatin on the new document.

So, Word of advice for everyone out there with a not so rosey Outlook to her new forced Access to this product with which she can’t Excel right now. (that was just cheesy wasn’t it?)

Anyway, if you’re new to the new interface, give yourself some time to adjust and don’t force yourself into a frustrating situation based on inexperience and time constraints.

    I am having trouble changing resolution or color. Most internet views are beyond the screen. No options are offered. Suggestions ?

    Can you give me more details of what you’re needing to change? Are you wanting to adjust resolution and color in a Word document? I’m confused.
