But every software package has its annoying aspects, and Office 2. Although many of the changes make it easier to perform common tasks, there are times when you just shake your head and wonder, Why did they do that In this piece, Ill look at the dark side of Office 2. Office users. Note This article is also available as a PDF download. There are too many editions but not enough choicesIts good to have choices, but when it comes to software, many users wish vendors would subscribe to the KISS keep it simple, sweetheart philosophy. One of the biggest complaints about Windows Vista and then Windows 7 was the number of editions you have to choose from. Office has developed the same problem How do you figure out which edition has what you need You can have Home and Student edition Word, Power. Point, Excel, and One. Note, Office Home and Business which adds Outlook, Office Professional which adds Access and Publisher, or Office Professional Plus which adds Share. Point Workspace and Info. Path and is available only through volume licensing. On the other hand, some might say there arent enough choices or the choices arent configured correctly. What if you want Word, Excel, One.

Point What if you want Publisher but have no need for Access or Excel What if you want Share. Point Workspace but your company isnt big enough for volume licensing Sure, you could buy the individual applications, but that ends up costing more. How about a cafeteria plan, where you pay X dollars for X number of applications and you get to pick the applications Just an idea. When it comes to putting together a suite of software programs, you can please some of the people some of the time and the rest of the people are likely to be annoyed. The cost is steep, with no upgrade price. At 4. 99 for the full boxed edition of Office Professional, the software is considered to be just too expensive by many users especially when Open Office, which has some of the same functionality, is available free. But its not just that the prices are high its that theyre confusing, too. For instance, the Professional Academic edition has the same programs as the regular Pro edition but costs 4. Teaching might not pay so well, but sometimes it carries nice perks. Even when you like a software package, certain aspects of it may bug you. Deb Shinder shares her list of the most vexing Office 2010 features. For any particular package, you have the options of full price boxed retail, which allows you to install Office on two computers and the key card price, which is the cost for a single license card with a key that lets you unlock the software thats preloaded on machines by the OEMs. What you dont have is an upgrade discounted price for those who already have a previous version of Office installed. And that has many users very annoyed. Color schemes are limited and uglyThe color scheme might seem like a little thing, but to me and a number of other Office 2. Ive heard from the new and definitely not improved offering of color schemes is a major annoyance, especially in Outlook. I used the black color scheme in Office 2. The borders were a crisp black but the backgrounds were all white, including that of the left folder pane. Now the true black option is gone. There is an option called Black, but its really a muddy gray, and it turns both the left folder pane and the right Today pane dark with white text. This makes them harder to read and, frankly, a lot less attractive. If some people like that, its fine to make it an option. But why not leave the old color schemes as options, tooTheres no reason we should be limited to just three choices here, anyway. Thats just plain annoying. Recent docs are buried Backstage. In Office 2. 00. 7 Word, Excel, and Power. Science Et Vie Mars 2010 Pdf more. Point applications, clicking the big Office button invoked a relatively compact menu with items such as New, Open, Save, and Print in the left pane. Recent Documents were handily displayed in the right pane. In the final release of Office 2. Office button is gone. Instead, we have the File tab. It looks just like the rest of the Ribbon tabs but instead of taking you to a Ribbon bar, clicking it opens up Backstage view which has three panes and takes up much more space. By default, to see your recent documents, you have to go to Backstage view and click Recent in the left pane. There is a way to change this At the bottom of the list of recent documents, youll see the Quickly Access This Number Of Recent Documents check box, with a drop down box to set the number. After you enable this option, your recent docs will show up in the left pane of the Backstage view. But its annoying that this option is not more obvious. Outlook gets the blue or silver or black Ribbon. In Office 2. 00. 7, Microsoft introduced the Ribbon to most Office programs and received a lot of negative user backlash for it but Outlook retained the traditional menus and toolbars. With Office 2. 01. Ribbon comes to Outlook, too, and thats sure to annoy all those anti Ribbon activists out there. Personally, I like the Ribbon interface most of the time, but I am annoyed that it has resulted in problems like the next one in this list. Add ins Go to the back of the line. With Outlook 2. 00. I installed an add in such as Twinbox which lets you compose and send Twitter updates from Outlook, the Twinbox toolbar was added to the interface along with the regular Outlook toolbars. It was right there, whenever I wanted it. In Outlook 2. 01. I thought it didnt install properly because the toolbar didnt appear. Finally, I found it. You have to click the Add Ins tab every time you want to use it. Again, this brings an extra step and a little bit of extra annoyance to the user experience. Newest is on top still. My biggest overall annoyance with Office 2. Micrsoft had the opportunity to fix. The newest on top phenomenon has been a pet peeve of mine with various versions of Outlook. Blogs, with their newest posts at the top of the page, may have started this trend of putting the newest of everything at the top of the page. Maybe Im just old fashioned, but I like to go from top to bottom, with the oldest messages at the top and the newest at the bottom. By default, Outlook still does it the other way around. Its easy to click the column header and reverse that, within a folder. But why is there no way to change this setting on a global basisWhen you have dozens of folders, its really annoying to have to go through and reset every one of them to the right display. Invariably, there is some folder I rarely access and havent changed, and then I open it and am at first confused because things are not in the right order. So then Im annoyed that I have to change it yet again. Upload Center takes center stage. Office 2. 01. 0 is integrated with the free Office Web Apps, which can be very handy if you need to work at a public computer that doesnt have Office installed. However, if you dont use Web Apps, you might be annoyed by the Upload Center icon that Office 2. Upload Center auto starts by default when you boot the OS, so even if you uncheck the option to display it, it will run and take up valuable system resources.
