[IxDA Discuss] Anyone else having trouble getting used to Office 2007 menus?

[Michael Micheletti]

I've got a new laptop with Office 2007 installed on it. And oh my goodness
am I ever sloooow getting anything done in Word or Powerpoint. I keep
searching for a "Revert" command in Word especially, where I'm normally
swift and assured. The missing Help menu spooks me too (it's a teensy button
now). Didn't find anything there, will check online next.

I'm sure they've tested the apps 1000s of times - I've seen their labs, been
a test subject, and know what pros MS are about usability testing. But here
I am, expert-level Word user for years, struggling. Is it just me finding
out my brain is now full and I should park on the porch in my rocking chair?
Or are others also challenged by this obviously attractive, improved,
better, tested, etc interface?

p.s. It sort of reminds me of something a support guy at MS told me years
ago when I was beta-testing Windows NT: "it's instinctive once you get used
to it."
