I keep finding that office 2003 was the pinnacle of office version.
Usabilitywise at least.

I concur. No need to update any further - any further "improvements" just messed it up for normal use.
When I write a book, or even a letter/document or whatever, i don't need any more than is provided with 2003.

Really, really. I don't advertise my works here as they are not computer or programming books.

Trouble is they generally market the latest version so hard that someone will get it. Then their suppliers have to get it so they can read the damn documents, and their suppliers, and ...
Eventually everyone has to because every document they get is in a later format and can't be handled unless they "upgrade".
I'd still be using Ami Pro if I had the option ...

That can be an issue - but for Office 2000/2003 they (used to ?) offer a compatibility pack, which can open the 2007 format files (and for some programs, save in them). I only switched to Off 2010 because Outlook 2000 didn't cope well with IMAP and Gmail. I doubt I'll ever move on beyond the 2010 version.

Seconded, although I did upgrade to 2010. I'm certain I didn't use anything that wasn't in the 2003 version, and I definitely missed the menus.

Well, I didn't claim it was useless, I just complain when they force me to do something stupid.

Fair enough.

It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.

Glad I didn't offer her my heart then; disgusting piece of meat, until you find someone who can turn it into great tacos.

My friend composes songs about sewing machines. He's a Singer songwriter, or sew it seems.

Button most days he keeps you in stitches, does he?
Hopefully, at other times, he isn't some sort of basted.

Actually we have a demerit punning contest. The most demerits wins and I'm so far ahead thanks to OriginalGriff.

Hi All,
My quest to get out of the pub(?). I had a telephone interview (unsuccessful) for a VB6 programmer (!). Basically a company uses a VB6 backbone and are updating to a .NET modern system but need to keep the VB6 up and running until the new shiney .NET takes over. Lots of .NET talking to COM headaches.
In prepartion I tried to install VS6 and bang(!). Couldn't get it installed... Will it install on 10 or has my PC just choked??
|
|
|
|
|
|
With Alan Partridge 'Aha!' Probably never need it but...
|
|
|
|
|
The real reason it's hard to install is that even Win10 tries to vomit when VB6 gets too close ...
