    I guess I'm a bit of a fan of how the old Microsoft Office used to look pre 2007. I can't live without the software, but I also have a hard time getting used to the new look and feel of the newest version available.

    Although it is not a freeware and there are some quite good alternatives out there, Microsoft has a great office applications. Version 2007 is a real hit.

    I like Word, but there are some things that it does that are kind of counter intuitive and annoying. It is probably the best word processor that I know of, but that doesn't mean there aren't improvements that could be made.

    The best word processor. Would be better if there was a universal format and none of these docx issues.
