So what happened to the user-friendly functionality? This version is just ridiculous. It's impossible to navigate through. This version is totally different than past versions.

Also, when you save out doc's, it will save them as version 2007, that only other users of 2007 can open. If you do not have this version and try to view this type of a doc, then you may need to download a converter in order to open these types of documents. Otherwise, you just need to remember to save them as an older version so that others can view them.
