Many people will choose to pass on Office 2007.
Not me. I like the pain of learning something new and having to hunt for things that I knew where to find seconds before (in the old software). Just kidding.
But there are some neat features in Office 2007. I just ran into one. I was doing a table, and was going to send it to a client, so I wanted to "pretty it up." I changed the background of the cells at the top of the table to a solid color. And guess what happened to the text?
In previous versions, it would have disappeared or almost disappeared (black on black or something like that). In 2007, Word changed the text color to white.
Nope, I wasn't picking a style. I just changed the background color.
And then to prove to myself that I wasn't seeing things, I changed the background back, and the color of the text changed again.
Cool.
