Do you have the full version of MS 2010 Word or the Starter Version?
tape…
Word Starter looks ok.
too bad about auditing missing from starter excel. auditing is useful. what about other features like conditional formatting, column filters?
I’ve been using gnumeric, btw. it doesn’t seem to have conditional formatting. but it has normal (usable) toolbars.
Starter looks like ok ‘upgrade’ from 1990’s MS Works
Just bought a new PC. It comes with the office starter products. Altho I am NOT a business user, just home stuff, I do use both word and XL a lot and am used to having a dozen short cut icons on the same page as the document I’m working on and not having to keep going back thro menu options to open a new page, insert a line or cell or whatever… Am I missing something on the starter version or does it not offer this basic option; to be able to drag short cuts to a convenient space. Excuse the lack of techno speak !!!!
