Regrettably, the Manager is the head of the IT Department.

Re Office 2007, I know a lemon when I see one. We have already had "discussions" around why they would "fix" something that wasn't particularly broken.

I certainly dont see any improvements but unfortunately I am one of the bunnies who is going to have to provide the tech support....through clenched and gritted teeth! TechRepublic Pro has had some useful resources (for discussion and support) and I guess I was hoping for a few new leads.

As an aside though the Mac version (Office 2008) is somewhat better at least the traditional menu across the top havent been tampered with the way they did with 2007. But then go and try to do simple basic Word things like inserting a footer. For reasons known only to Microsoft, the process has been "improved" and is no longer intuitive. Entourage insists it wants to protect me from unsafe mail and does so blocking legit mail with NO option for me to overide it decisions. And then there are the most useless help files ever. The package on both platforms suck and thats all there is to it.

Cheers,
