Buy it like most everyone else or uninstall and go back to using their old
software? In the meantime they can fly for free in a plane with no landing
privileges. Until I know what Microsoft wants for it I will be keeping my
parachute. :-)

Please remember that this is a BETA. You need to be willing to risk the
stability of your computer and other programs if you choose to run it on
your main computer. Plus it's a time-bombed copy. What will you do in
February when it converts to a viewer?

I received an email from Microsoft inviting to try Office 2007 Beta. Has
anybody tried 2007 Microsoft Office system beta 2? Is it safe to
install?



Thanks.

Sure - but don't be surprised if it involves a lot more than just
uninstalling Office 2007.

You mean my original office XP which was not upgraded or removed will

Thanks.

Can you expand on some of this or provide some repro steps?

I haven't encountered Word crashing if I link page numbers to the
heading styles or when creating macros - I've also used a lot of the
advanced functionally.

I'm not sure what you mean about customizing the workspace but I have
several customizations, options, keyboard shortcuts, etc and no
crashes.

I find that it has some excellent features. However, it is a bit
unstable.
If you are a person that typically uses advanced program features
you may
find it frustrating. I have noticed that when I work with styles,
try to
customize the workspace, create macros, design keyboard shortcuts,
or create
custom page numbers based on heading styles the program crashes. If
I just do
simple things like type and make the text bold it seems to be okay.
However,
if you are a person that needs to do more than that, you may find
the beta
version a source of frustration.

That's a good point. Okay - I will actually *BUY* you a large fountain soda
if Office 2007 is easily uninstalled and whatever version of Office the
public had prior to the beta works without major hassles.

BTW - I prefer Diet Coke. ;-)

already and didn't have any problems?? G

Yes, because you are not "the average computer user". I'll bet you read the
precautions and you were careful how and where you installed the beta.

(This is one bet I'd love to be able to lose for the sake of the average
user but I fear I'll be slurping my free Diet Coke in March.)
