MS Office 2008 review part 2 of 6 - Word 
Posted by Gary Coyne on 06/24 at 06:51 AM 
=46or those of us who remember it, there will never be a version of Word
as good as version 5.1. It was a tight, full, and well-balanced program.
Word 6 was not only viciously bloated, but you could go out to dinner
while it booted up. Starting with Office X, Word has started to regain
what it once had by providing new features while letting older features
become more accessible. With Office 2008, the number of features
continues to increase, but, on the whole, the program is much easier to
negotiate. Significantly reduced are multiple locations of the same
preferences, gone are confusing preferences, arrived is easier access to
features that will appeal to offices. But not existent are features to
customize Word to anyone's wishes.
