One thing I don't like about Office 2003 is that they did away with Microsoft Photo Editor (which produced .jpg s) and came up with Microsoft Office Picture Manager, which produces .bmps. Which are an utter pain to send on-line due to file size and have to be 'exported' into .jpg.
I often need to send screen shots to others for work purposes.
So, on my old Office XP machine, I just click F11, open Photo Editor, a quick edit and save, then send it as an attachment.
But with Office 2003, if I use Picture Manager I then have to it 'export it to .jpg, then edit, then send. The simple methods of Photo Editor are much easier to use. If I want to use editing features such as 'Effects', 'Tools', Colour correction, or change the dpi, then I have to edit in Photo Editor, as Uncle Bill's whooshy new Picture Manager doesn't have these features - he expects you to buy Microsoft Digital Image Pro for £50.
Thanks, Bill..... But no thanks.
I cannot see any reason to 'upgrade' from either Windows XP or Office XP Pro, let alone upgrading from Office 2003 to 2007.
I haven't heard many good reports about either Vista or Office 2007 - what 'killer applications' do they allegdly have?
