Message: <blockquote data-quote="Merkuri" data-source="post: 4195728" data-attributes="member: 41321">I just upgraded to 2007 from 2000, and while I'm happy with my decision I wouldn't recommend it for a casual user.  2007 does not do anything different than 2000 or 2003 that a casual user would notice aside from the "ribbon" they put in to replace the toolbars, and that will probably annoy most users who are used to the toolbars.  You'd be paying a lot of money for improvements you probably won't use.I upgraded for several reasons.  My work had us all upgrade to 2007 there (where I use Office more often) and I fell in love with their OneNote product, which wasn't available in the version of Office I had at home and the free or cheap products I found that were similar just didn't hold up.  I pondered buying OneNote's standalone product, then decided to bite the bullet and upgrade the whole thing.  It was a good decision for me to upgrade because, well, when I originally got Office 2000 I was a poor college student and I got it with... less than legal methods.  Now that I actually have a job, an apartment, a car, etc I thought it was time I paid M$ for the use of their products.  Though aside from OneNote I could've stayed using Office 2000 with no problems.And just to make it clear, Office 2007 DOES have VBA support.  I don't know about the Mac equivalent, but the Windows version DOES have it.  I use macros so often that there would be no chance I'd upgrade if they didn't have it.</blockquote>
