Maybe I could learn to like it too if someone were to explain to me how and why it's an improvement over the old drop down menus.Īs for which version of Word to install on my refurbished PC, I'm wondering if it might not be time for me to ditch MS Word altogether and seek an alternative. If it's not too much bother, I'd appreciate hearing from you what you like about it. Speaking of the ribbon, you posted earlier that you like the ribbon.
It drives him crazy.Ha ha ha! You got that right, Denis! Thanks for my first belly laugh of the morning. If you need to use the Office password facility then you ought to stick with Office 2010.īut he doesn't like the Ribbon. The password capability was significantly improved for Office 2007 and further improved for Office 2010. These passwords were implemented very badly and an Office 2003 file can be opened without its password in a few blinks of the eye. I strongly dislike many of the user-hostile improvements in 2016 & beyond.īut never use Office 2003's facility for putting a password on a file to open it. I am still using Office 2007 so I am probably at less risk then a 2003 user but at more risk than a 2010 user. If it were feasible to count the number of vulnerabilities then I'd expect 2003 to have more than 2010.īut if no current users of 2003 are screaming about it leading to malware attacks then you might reasonably decide to take the chance. Whichever version you decide to install, do first check for any trial version that might have been put on by the computer repairer and uninstall that beforehand or you will get activation problems.Īs for risk, any unsupported application can have newly-discovered vulnerabilities. I have not noticed any reports of 2003 users reporting activation problems.
I activated an Office 2007 installation last year without any problem. See the S earch forum button near the top-right corner. If you search the forum section you will see if they have any guidance for you. You'll find that several others are sill using 2003 as well.
