| Ease of Learning with Excel |
I thought that it would be hard to learn to use Excel, but it was very easy! The program has already provided a needed graph. So glad I made this purchase! |

| Ok once you learn to use it |
I agree with the other reviewers. Once you are used to the "old" versions of excel, have fun learning to use this one. You can still use the old keyboard short-cuts (such as Alt+I, R to insert a row). There are some new features that are nice, but who is going to use them or how often?? There is no 'File' menu now...It is the windows icon in the top left hand corner. It took me ten minutes just to figure out how to print or save a file....now it is second nature, but I have been using it for several months. Not for the not-so-computer-inclined person. Not very user friendly. AND, you have to remember to save files as 'xls' instead of 'xlsx' type so other people can open them... |

| Experienced Users be Prepared to Start from Scratch |
Excel 2007 replaces the tried and true menu layout with new graphical ribbon that is totally alien to experienced users.
Save your money, do not buy Excel 2007 if you expect to find a product that remotely resembles any of the previous Excel versions. |

| More Difficult to Use |
The user interface is completely different from previous versions making the transition more difficult. On top of that, the new interface sucks and is cluttered. There is no simple way to bring in your custom menus from older versions. Stick with an older version! This one is no good. |

| What you get for your money |
Excel is a perfect example of software attempting to be all things to all people. It does what I need it to do and a whole lot more besides. Because of that, I realize I am paying for "a whole lot more" even though I don't particularly want it. What I would like to see is software that will do basic stuff. It happens that I was more or less forced to use Excel because of files previously created with an earlier version of Excel. |
