Actually, 2000 was easier to use (for me). However, I write a lot of text with photos, etc., and when I would get too many on a page, the photos would start "moving" on me. Therefore, I assumed that by 2010 Microsoft would have fixed this. Needless to say, they had not. Some of the editing additions (e.g., the placement of lines et al) to an inserted picture are a little more precise in 2010 -- other than that....Word is Word!
