on Mar 4th, 2010This is just a test….
Having received a netbook for Christmas, I’m still discovering all the new features, gadgets, widgets, etc. which are now available – including the ability to post a new blog entry directly for MS Word 2007. Ain’t technology great?
I am now switching back and forth between a running Windows 7 and Office 2007, a laptop with XP and Office 2003, and this netbook with XP and Office 2007. And what have I discovered? I’m too old to retrain. The “new, improved” look and feel of Microsoft’s products is driving me to , well if not drink, at least chocolate (throw enough chocolate at it and you can solve any problem). The new menus are like a treasure hunt – something I was never good at. Want to convert a table to text? Good luck! I spend more time in the Help section just trying to accomplish something I’ve been doing in Office 2003 for years. Remember the good old days, when they offered you the option of reverting to the “old” menus?
It’s not that I’m against change; in fact, I’m all for it. I just need a little help along the way. And with that thought in mind – please send chocolate.
