"to reiterate it is the bvusiness/academic standard"
Pros
my first experience was with Office `07 and thought it to be very user friendly considering that a newbie like myself was able to quickly learn the basics and w/o too much pain and suffering,the more advanced features.2010 is a more polished version
Cons
I did not find it to be a big enough upgrade from `07 to justify the $.
Summary
Im an online student who essentially wears out Word & have become somewhat proficient in my 3+ years of writing papers for school.I recently tried out `10 & found it to be extremely similar,for my uses not really worth the $.Word has added an aspect of grammar proofing that kept stating my writing was "passive" & I should consider revising. I know I should take the advice and improve my writing but making what seemed to be adequate changes still brought about the "passive" grammar notification and got to be somewhat irritating. With all of that said I still prefer either `07 or `10 versions over what little experience I have with with `03 and would recommend the upgrade if anyone has been holding out. As stated in my "cons" post I will probably wait for the next version which seems to be going the way of the cloud as most other software is heading. Hope this helps someone.
