I hated it in Office 2007 and I still hate it. The Ribbon toolbar has been added to all the other Office Suite programs, including Outlook and OneNote. The Ribbon Changed, but It’s Still a Bomb However, I still don’t think these are anything to get excited about, and they’re certainly not worth the new ‘non-upgradable’ price tag.Ĥ. And you can now create videos or convert presentations to videos in PowerPoint–this one feature might be useful if MS has also upgraded the graphic size limitations. In Word, there’s a new drag-and-drop navigation pane, but it only works if you use the Word Styles to define headers and subheads and so forth. Other new features include paste preview, so you can preview the page before you paste items into your document–or you could just go ahead and paste the items in, then select undo if you don’t like how it looks. For graphics, the new photo-editing tools provide some simple artistic effects that you can add to images in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint–similar to Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, and Corel Paint’s stock effects, but nowhere near as versatile or powerful. You can add miniature line charts to individual cells in Excel–or just shrink the normal charts and place them on the screen anywhere you want them. You can save Word docs to SharePoint–or just copy and paste them in. However, since they are free, it won’t cost anything but your time to download and review them as possible replacements to Office 2010. All of these programs offer similar features and functionality to Microsoft Office some are actually better, some are just okay. Other alternative programs include IBM’s Lotus Symphony, Google Docs, and Zoho–all free–and ThinkFree, which has both a free and a fee-based version. But Microsoft has never been strong on graphic capabilities either, so you won’t miss much by switching to OpenOffice. There are some areas that could use improvement, and a feature by feature comparison shows some differences in the visuals such as graphics, animations, and special effects. Speaking of other options, there are always alternatives, such as OpenOffice from, a Microsoft Office semi-clone that’s free to download for anyone who wants it.

Maybe this is a good time to dump the software king and start looking for other options.
#MICROSOFT OFFICE SUITE 2010 UPGRADE#
If these other four major blunders have not already soured you on Microsoft, this new upgrade policy will surely make you sick. Next to Windows Millennium, Vista, the Office 2007 Ribbon, and the Kin bombshell, this is the worst marketing decision Microsoft has ever made.
