A Luddite I am Not

I downloaded Microsoft Office 2007 on Monday, mostly because I think I'm going to be getting a new laptop this summer and I would rather have an office suite that is Vista compatible (ugh). Most of the time I'm averse to new technologies; I like the comfort of knowing exactly how to open a file, insert a header or footer, or double space a paragraph without having to search for the commands each time. I knew that it would be better if I switched to the new Office now and became familiar with it rather than having to fight both a new office suite AND a new operating system at the same time, so Mom and I decided to split the cost and go in on this together (as soon as the optional DVD arrives, I'll install it on her computer, too).

I love this new version of Office, and I'll admit it now. I can't get enough of it! I could play on Publisher, newly included in this version of Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2007, for days, creating fliers, brochures, business cards and labels to my heart's content. The new Word is fabulously beautiful to look at, and does MORE and BETTER than the old version used to. As long as I remember to save everything in compatibility mode (so I can share notes with the poor saps out there who don't have this wondrously amazing program yet), I could rule the world with documents.

Now I'm trying something different in OneNote; I'm going to compose all my blogs here and see if I can upload them to Blogger this way.

We'll see if it works!
