Question Do I stand to gain productivity overall by upgrading to Word 2007/2010 from 2003?


After experiencing a glitch that I can only ascribe to a shortcoming in Word 2003 (https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...html#post27182), I'm again considering upgrading to Word 2007 (or maybe 2010).

I've been a loyal MS Word user for nearly two decades, and had never been hesitant to adopt the next Word upgrade. Until 2007. I'm not going to elaborate on how lukewarm the reception to Word 2007 was by the Word community here. I tried it out too and didn't like it. Especially the abandonment of the toolbars was a non-starter for me. I think the 2007 update involved the most drastic user interface change in the entire Word lineage. Yet, I ended up purchasing Microsoft Office Suite 2007 nonetheless. I can't quite remember why, but I think it had to do with One Note 2007. There was one crucial feature in One Note 2007 that was missing in One Note 2003 that made me by the upgrade. But I didn't install any other Office applications.

That was a long-winded intro, but what I'm trying to say is that I face no cost for upgrading to Word 2007 at this point. If it's worth it, I'm perfectly willing to pay for Microsoft Suite 2010 as well, as I always have paid for numerous upgrades in the past.

What I cannot afford is loss of productivity by switching to Word 2007 EVEN AFTER I reach the plateau in the learning curve. Do I stand to gain productivity overall by switching to Word 2007 or 2010? Do long-time users miss 2003 and want to go back to 2003 for productivity reasons?
