Version 2007, is it worth the upgrade ?

[Talal Itani]

Dear Friends,

I want to learn and use Outlook. My PC has version 2003 already installed,
but version 2007 is out. I do not know if I gain by upgrading. Do you
think it worth the upgrade? Thank you very much.

I'm becoming quite fond of it, but you might start with 2003 and see what
you think of it before upgrading. In terms of the user interface, Outlook
2007 seems less different from the 2003 version, than the other Office2007
apps do.

2007 is definitely a step up especially for WORD and POWERPOINT - OUTLOOK is
not so different as Lawrence said - one of the features I use a lot now, but
can't remember if 2003 has it - there is a function from contacts such that
when you click on the icon, you get taken to a map of that contact's
address. So when I make an appointment , I insert the business card for the
contact whose address I need to go to, and then when the time comes to go to
that appointment, I can easily get a map of it.

No need to ask more than once.

1. Wenchie will get you for your error! (look for it)
2. The Outlook Live Local Add-in works with Outlook 2003 - I used it with Outlook 2003 before I upgraded.
