Make it possible to put the QAT vertically and add another one and I will be
happy. With 16:9 monitors, that would make far better use of the available
real estate than having it across the top of the screen.

I suspect more will upgrade to Office 2007 than everyone thinks. Not
complete speculation on my end, the majority of our state agencies are
making the switch, many of them from Office 2000 to Office 2007. Until now
there weren't enough persuading factors to make a version switch. With
Office 2007 there are many benefits for those who use SharePoint and the
developer aspect for XML is pretty exciting.

Personally, I plan on sitting back and watching the naysayers come around
and realize how advantageous the change really is and how it's supplied
answers to a number of requests. I'm a former naysayer, it happened to me
and I've witnessed it happen to others: Those adamantly against the switch
will one day actually learn more about the application they are forming
opinions on and much like the change from WordBasic to VBA, will realize
the power of XML and will wish they made the change sooner.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email can not be acknowledged.

Complete speculation--based on the experience with Word 2002/2003, where
2002 also introduced some significant UI changes and 2003 came out real
fast--I'm thinking that there will be a Word 2009 fine-tuning the 2007
changes--and it's only if take-up doesn't bounce back for Word 2009 that
MS will begin to reconsider. They've got the cash reserves to sit out one
cycle, and 2009 might be long enough for college graduates to be familiar
with the 2007 paradigm by the time they enter corporations, decreasing
the training cost and thus the resistance. I can't imagine they failed to
plan for a poor take-up of Word 2007.

Except, of course, the issue is not Word but Office overall.

The only thing that will convince Microsoft of their folly is if the
take-up of Word 2007 is poor, and/or the corporates move to WordPerfect
or Open Office in significant numbers. There's a huge potential
retraining bill here, and business does not like spending unnecessarily.

Whether this failure to take up is going to happen is anyone's guess. I
suppose that eventually if we wish to stay with the Word product we will
have to adapt. I for one am in no rush.
