True enough, I much prefer older versions of the Office apps.  That 
was true even before the hateful "ribbon" interface.  BUT.  The 
current versions of the Office apps won't open old files anymore, so 
if you send what you create to someone with the current version, 
you're SOL.  I have thousands of old Word files that I can't open, 
except in a text editor.  I have an old version of Word, but MS 
doesn't seem to allow one to have both versions installed.

(If someone knows of a good solution to this, I'm all ears.  And no, 
the Open Office word mangler won't open them, either.)

Best regards,

Charles
