You can get an idea what you’re in for by visiting Microsoft’s online training. There are literally hours of video about using each of the programs like Word, Excel. I just needed to update so I could save a Powerpoint slide in pdf. Instead, I find that all of my familiar programs like Word and Excel are no longer something I can rely on to knock out a quick project. The ribbon supposedly makes things easier to find in theory. In practice, an experienced user of the older version can spend 15 minutes finding a way to, for example, remove the underlining from text. Really annoying.
I will no longer buy programs or new versions that are not intuitive enough to use without spending a day viewing videos – especially after having invested the time to learn the old version.
