i bought ms office 2007 and now i can't afford to buy ram to make it run properly.

[jonathan_matos5]

my old pc cant quite handle it:o

 

the differences ive noticed between the last ms suite i owned is its prettier and slower so no real reason that ive noticed to upgrade other than i needed 2007 to be compatible with my school:rolleyes:

I recently upgraded to 2007.

 

I hate changing my word processor, etc, because when it comes to that point I know all the tricks and secrets to make the old one do what I want. Then the new one comes along and I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

 

That being said, I find 2007 is supremely intuitive. I've had no problem figuring out how to do everything that I want to do.

 

I'm enjoying it.

fwiw openoffice is interoperable with office and is free,and has minimal system requirements.

There is an upgrade for office 2003 that makes ".docx" files compatible.

 

I have 2007 on my lappy and 2003 on my desktop.

What are the specs of your current machine?

 

I've had to install Office 2007 on a machine with only 256 megs of RAM and it ran, but as slowly as you would expect from such a configuration.

I have Open Office on my laptop and Office '03 on my work PC.

 

Open office is pretty cool.

What have you got for RAM on your computer?

 

Hell, these days 512MB is a joke, 1 gig is a must, 2 is better; 4-8 is supreme!

 

Has nothing to do with that?

[MrJoshua]

4-8GB of memory? You're running a 64-bit OS, I assume?

[Super Bass]

Yeah WTF, who needs 8GB of RAM?

 

I've got 1GB in my Toshiba and its runnin' smooth. Maybe thats because I dont have Vista

[Zeromus-X]

You can find 512 meg sticks of RAM free in marked boxes of cereal nowadays. If you can afford $200 for even the cheapest version of Office 2007, you can afford a RAM upgrade.

 

And yeah, don't get more than 3 gig.

Once again

 

AMD & INTEL & chipmakers & geeks giveth,

Microsoft taketh away!
