Articles about the Student Licences

I don't enjoy using Office 2007. Millions of people around the world got use to the original Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc. and then they decided to change the layout of everything.

After a while, you end up getting use to it and I quite like the way you switch from one tab to the next on Word. In other words, I quite like the way you switch from "file, edit, view... (although it's now called Home, Insert, Page layout...)".

There are little things though, which are really annoying. First, I don't like the fact that there are no permanent margins around the page on Word - it makes it harder to quickly adjust the layout of headings etc.

I can't stand the way it automatically double spaces, every time you press enter. Sometimes you don't want it to do that - it is difficult to change this.

Finally, I don't like the way it saves every file in the .docx format. You can change this to .doc and it will save all your work fine - so why bother even introducing .docx in the first place? It just means that if you forget to change the format to .doc when you save documents at work/university - you can't open the file at home unless you have already purchased Office 2007 on your PC at home.

Office 2008 is ok. The interface is normal. It doesn't crash all that much. It is quite compatible. Its all right. Blah.

If only Microsoft hadn't lost their nerve and made something as lovely as the PC Office 2007. I'm a dual user and find myself drifting back to my PC when I want to do anything work related. And that is a shame. It's just like the old days - Mac for media fun and PC for serious work and gaming. Some things never change. Not much point upgrading from 2004.

Having a house full of PC's of varying ages and a mac. I am loathed to buy
more licenses as I already have older pc and a mac version of office.
Get "Open Office - 3" virtually free and run on any machine and save files as microsft versions .doc .ppt etc and vice versa.
I am thinking of stripping vista off my childs new lap top and going over to a linux version and avoid the other rip off that is microsoft security software

I purchased this product for my 14-year old Daughter to use for her ICT homework and GCSE-based coursework. The product may be good, but trying to obtain a Licence number to use the product after the 30-day trial is horrendous. Firstly, you have to complete their Form and upload this as an attachment to an email; secondly you have to provide proof that the Student is in education; and thirdly you have to provide a photo of the Student/Child. Filling out a Form is understandable, downlaoding and attaching to an email is easily done! However, surely Adobe realise that in the UK, all children of 16 & under (Year 11 and below) have to attend School - we the parents get prosecuted if they don't. But, no we still have to prove that they attend an educational establishment, by obtaining a letter from an already overworked teacher, downloading a copy and attaching that to the same email. Then to compound it all, we have to send a photo of our child (something we encourage our kids not to do on the internet) on the same email. So, if you manage all of these things, you may eventually get the 'treasured' licence number, but not in the timeframe they promise. However, should you encounter any difficulty, then you really have problems. The Adobe Technical Helpline is not a freephone number. Once you are able to get through the many options on the phone line, it then advises you that they are experiencing a heavy call load and that there will be a hour's waiting time!!!! Remember you are getting charged for listening to music. Finally, you may get to speak to someone, who does not understand or speak English. I'm not racist, and I admire very much those people who attempt to speak and work with another language, but when I've been kept holding for an hour ... I want to proiritise my issue briefly, succinctly and get a coherent response immmediately. Take my advise, ring Adobe Sales on the 0800 number, and insist that Sales put you through to Technical Support - you will still have to hold for an hour, but at least it will be free!!!
