80% of my coworkers tell about new MS Word versions only three words:
"I hate it!"
and sometimes
"rju nimagu"

If somebody will create site with Word errors screenshots it will be more then 1TB!

I've already tried openoffice, it better in some cases but it is bad in onther one, but every new revision of OO is better and every new version of Word is worse

[EchoNoise]

Thank you for trolling... We appriciate your feedkback...

I have never seen a Word document go over 100mb... Even with the most graphic oriented documents!

It works fine for me, never have any problems, OpenOffice is great too!

i can say while word 2003 is not the best, it could be better, you have to be very knowledgable to know how to use its advanced features.
luckly for once they changed the interface in office 2007

My advice (for what it's worth) to vanya203 and 80% of his co-workers would be: Use another word processor.

I suppose your name is Bill , because he is the only man on planet who think that monopoly is good.
I thought that the forum is real Microsoft forum, but I see it is a place of telling nothing about something. You use Word for letters or even can add one image, but no more, so I wish you all the best and I hope the day will come when Word 2007 will be with Windows Me on garbage.

P.S.: sorry for grammar mistakes

[bledd]

no probs here and i'm fussy as you like!

Asking for help with a specific problem, is one thing. Saying MS Word 2003 is crap, is something else. If you have a specific problem eg. the exact error with maybe a screenshot, we'll try and help. Telling everyone that Microsoft makes useless software is just spouting of at the mouth. Fairly pointless, in a forum that tries to help people. Verbal diarrhoea can normally be cured by applying a swift kick to the bollocks! Verbal diarrhoea in MS Word is a whole new problem.

[spacesurfer]

Personally, I love Word... always have. Yes, it's true that it's not perfect but I like all the features. I can almost always accomplish any formatting job I need to.

Like vinodh said, blaming Microsoft is like throwing dirt at the sun. It's only going to fall on your own eyes.

i'm not the biggest m$ fan in the world, but i do kinda like office. i managed to cram the whole 2003 suite onto a single cd with space left over. i likey.

you can always go on ebay and get a legit copy of office 97 for dirt cheap (that's what my dad did, he's insane)

[saugatak]

I used to use Word all the time and I tried out OOo Writer. The problem with both of these programs is that they're styles oriented, in other words you have to program paragraph characteristics, page characteristics, etc. and then apply that "style" to the program. Then you have styles based on other styles, so if you change one style, you can end up changing another.

In the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use styles, this can have serious unintended consequences as formatting that you spent a lot of time working on gets undone because someone changes styles on you.

If you hate style oriented wordprocessors, there is only one program for you . . . and that's WordPerfect. It's based on "stream formatting", i.e., the use of codes which can be shown with reveal codes to program the formatting.

So if you bold something, there is a <bold start> code and a <bold end> code. You can see the codes and figure out what's going on with your document.

It's a completely different paradigm for styles but it is a much better way to do complicated wordprocessing. Since I've switched to WordPerfect, I almost never use Word.

Give it a shot.

[i'm not ophiel]

back in the day when i did journalism crap i was a huge fan of microsoft works, it kind of reminded me of wordperfect. i'm sure they've mussed it up by now though.

Web pages !
You can do anything.
Take some XHTML 1.0 transitional, some CSS, print. One wonderful thing is the ability to have a background for a whole line, not just where you have text, but on the whole line!
Everything is clean, you can make blocks, put them where you want to...

Ok, I'm still inexperienced in Website coding but this seems really wonderful.
And I'll see if I can find a place to try WordPerfect.

i like wordpad that comes with windows. its small, efficient, and its fast. i dont need anything more, iv used office 2003, 2000, and XP and they're all the same to me. too much for what i need to do. if the teacher at school cant open my RTF file, then he can goto hell. i dont understand why he needed everything in bloody .DOC format anyway wordpad comes native with 98 if you install it, which theres no reason not to install it.

im not saying its a bad piece of software, its just for what i do, its too bloated. i dont want a 200mb word processor on my laptop. id just as soon use the 200kb file that came with windows

my spelling is fine anyway, so i dont need the spell check. i find that letting the computer do too much, can leave you with sentences like "if you do you work on you computer, you can get it done much faster" where as, it should be "if you do your work on you computer, you can get it done much faster" when i look things over, i notice errors like that almost right away and ill fix it. if i cant, then i call on a dictionary, or dictionary.com

i say "quite a savings in space"

He probably didn't know what RTF was. Btw once you've typed it, you just need to find a friend with Word.
Also, if I were you, I would have given my work in both formats telling my teacher just to try the rtf one before the doc and check if there is a difference.

It's pretty handy when you translate something pretty long, underlined words helps a lot. Of course, not all errors are spotted but quite a few.
