"Just keeps getting better"
Version: Microsoft Office Word 2010 14
Pros
I just bought this software from workbycomputer.com for like $85 dollars. I think I like microsoft office 2010 better than 2003 or 2007. I like buying my software from workbycomputer.com because it is instant download and they are helpful if your not for sure what to do. No waiting on the postal/carrier companies for you product and your product is available to you whenever you want.
Cons
Can't think of any

"***do not download***"
Version: Microsoft Office Word 2010 14
Pros
this is the business. if you run windows as your operating system, then do not use any other, but do not download this product. buy it online in physical form, ie dvd disc. when you buy this product on disc, you own it for life, for ever and ever. the unique number is yours and yours only
Cons
never had a problem when i purchased the disc for three uses. i have installed the same disc on about five computers. after getting rid of old computers uninstall it first, then install it on your new one enter code and it will work the same.
Summary
best by a million miles. i do not like making microsoft more money than they need, but this programme is the bees knees. i have never ever had any issues with any part of this when i got the dvd. before i got the dvd, i had plenty of registry problems and system re installs as authentication seems to interfere if codes are meddled with in any way at all.

"Save your money!"
Version: Microsoft Office Word 2010 14
Pros
OK, I admit it's good...
Cons
It is not free.
Summary
I had it for some weeks, looks good, but why pay for it and make Bill Gates even richer than he is, when you can download OPEN OFFICE for free? It's a great program, has absolutely everything that Microsoft has. Save your money for your next summer vacation and get Open Office!

"Love the ribbon UI, but super slow to load."
Version: Microsoft Office Word 2010 14
Pros
Ribbon UI makes MS Word 2010 a joy to use and navigate
Makes getting your work typed up quick and easyCons
Slow loading of program
Huge size when the entire office suite is installed
Does not fit in the Windows XP theme (more suited for Vista/7)Summary
Following in the tradition of Microsoft Office in years past, Word is an easy program to learn and use, and the Ribbon UI makes it much easier. Things are faster to find and more tools are at your fingertips. The program is slow to load though, especially on Windows XP, and the theme of it does not work well at all in XP, looks very clunky. The size of the office suite is enormous! The price is even more outrageous. If you want a full office suite, try out something free like OpenOffice.org.

"Won't upgrade until the ribbon is history!"
Version: Microsoft Office Word 2010 14
Pros
Like another reviewer has said, Word is a good, reliable product—ruined by the ribbon.
Cons
Narcissistically controlling & obtuse. It takes all the joy out of writing.
Summary
Presently I'm using Word 2007, but Word—any version—is a classic example of dictatorial software. We are told (at a premium price) what we are SUPPOSED to like; and what we, apparently, are supposed to like is: tons of hardly-ever relevant bells and whistles from which we may choose, but a piece of kit nonetheless eternally burdened by its fundamentals, of which the Ribbon is but one. I'd have to say it's by far the biggest one. Two-thirds of it, I never use. Ever!
Word is ... no surprise ... a word processor. One of its best features is one of its simplest: the ability to zoom in to see multiple pages on a single screen. Wonderful, especially if you've got a large monitor. This makes—in capital letters: VERTICAL—space in particular, extremely valuable.
How can I put this? I want my inch back! At the very least, I would like the option to dock the ribbon—as I already do with the taskbar—on the SIDE of my screen ( On my 24" monitor I can afford to loose some horizontal space.)
I DON't like:
Having always to look at a glaring-white page. Particularly on a large screen, a sea of white is very hard on the eyes. Why is there no option for creme—or for that matter, other colors?)
I don't like the highlighters. There are fifteen to choose from and only three of those are useable. (The rest are far too dark!) Given we have a near-infinite choice of font colors, why not some decent variety of highlighters? And why not, in particular) the ability to make them much less dense? (I repeat: all but three are too dark to use.) I want highlighters, not "paint" ~ers.
Those miserably-tiny scroll arrows! If you want to scroll up, just a titch, you must hunt out that tiny black arrow at the top-right (only) of the screen; and if you want to go down (just a titch) you have to do the same at the bottom right (only) of the screen. On today's larger monitors that's a marathon of mouse-work! Why not have both, "up" and "down" arrows together—and in all four corners of the screen to choose from? That would reduce the relevant mouse-work by 400%. (Think about that.)
Headers and footers: UGH! A nightmare to be sure. Trying, for instance, to manipulate the page breaks so a header or footer doesn't appear on a chapter's first page is a torture. Initially, it took two other people—who considered themselves experts at Word (indeed, I was paying one of them for the advice)—an entire morning to figure it out. A year later, it still has the power to flummox me.
Endnote numbering: do the world a favor and shoot whoever designed that system. (Seriously; you know what I mean.) Perverted, to be sure.
I could go on—and on, and on....
Not bells—basics!
You know what I think Microsoft needs to do with Word?
Scrap it and buy-out Lotus Word Pro. Now those are people who know what word-processing means.
(Why, you ask, don't I just use Lotus? In a word, compatibility.)
