But it looks funkier in 2007 than 2003. I prefer it in 2003 mode. So I'm using page layout while working in 2007, but I hate, hate, hate that gap between pages. It always jumps up at me when I'm scrolling as i'm reading. I normally use what in 2007 they call the “draft” view. But it looks funkier in 2007 than 2003. I prefer it in 2003 mode.

I don't mind 2007 now that I'm using it. But I don't like that it saves with a different extension. As a 2003 user, I had to download a patch enabling me to read 2007 docs, but even then the formatting (bullets, etc) doesn't always translate. My dh saves his files in 2003 format even though he uses 2007, because the majority of his customers prefer 2003. Even though I don't mind 2007, I don't see the point in upgrading when they're working on the 2010 version. I typed out a response, Natalie, and then hit the wrong button, and it disappeared, LOL.

Maybe my brain is one of the few whacked-out ones it's designed for? :) Page headers seem easy to me, but maybe that's because I always use the Print Layout view. You just double-click in the header. The tabs are already set. I type title, name, tab-tab, then click Design (far right), Page Number (far left), Current Position, Plain Number! Once you know that, it's easy peasy.

I spent a lot of money on Office 2003 for Small Businesses not long before Office 2007 came out, which is one of the reasons I've never upgraded. I mainly use Word, so it's not worth it to upgrade. My dh has 2007 on his office computer and he's always saving to 2003 because most of the people he knows in the business world are using 2003 as long as they can. I think they made too many changes when they went to 2007. Yes, it looks spiffy, but it's nuts trying to find something. Like learning a whole new program. I didn't order 2007 for the desktop or the laptop, because I'm hoping I can load 2003 back onto the desktop. It's a one-user license, and I'm that user - it's not my fault my computer died! I also have a multi-user license for Home Office 2007 from buying #2 son his laptop when he graduated. At any rate, there's a 2010 edition coming out soon, and I didn't want to upgrade now and then have to go through ANOTHER learning curve. I'll wait, thanks. LOL, Edie, I think you’re right.

Double pleasure. I got Word 2007 with my Christmas computer. A friend walked me through it, but every once in a while I have problems. The header and page # alonge is a PITA. I have no clue why they did it that way. Someone in their programming dept. doesn't like writers. I hope they’re great books, and from authors you love. :)
