I know someone who has this and has had problems opening docs up that he's saved to disc etc, on other pc's with older versions of the Office package (eg Word 2000 etc). So maybe questions over how backward compatible it is. He's not to happy as he paid full whack for it and is having a few problems.

I use Office 2007 and there is no problems with backwards compatability. All you do is "save as 2003 version" instead of "save" .It is very different to use but you soon get the hang of it. Tony, you will have access to Office 2007 via your uni log in so you can try before you buy.

they are all hidden under the microsoft icon which is up in the left hand corner

It is very good for diagrams - always comes in handy when your word count has gone over the top. When I started my uni course I listened in disbelief when people told me that the hardest part of assignments was keeping the number of words down. They were right - my management report had to be 10,000 words and I hit 13,700 at one point. Diagrams came in handy as a picture paints a thousand words and all that..
