Microsoft Office 2007 can go fuck itself. I am thisclose to throwing a computer out a window. "Intuitive" my arse. I hated it in beta stage, and now that Papa Smurf is using it, I hate it even more (as does Papa Smurf).
Have you guys ever tried out http://openoffice.org? I use it, and while it takes a bit to get used to, you'll find that it has much more features that are actually useful *gasp* than Microsoft. (I've already used the convert to PDF function a few times, very handy.) Plus, you know, free and all.
I was just coming in here to recommend OpenOffice. I switched last year as a "last resort" when my MS Office disk was too scratched to load after a computer crash. Now I would never go back to MS Office.
I, personally, love it, but the parents refuse to use it. This may have changed their mind... I'll have to bring it up again! The problem is then installing it on the church's laptop, but if we can get the initial slides formatted correctly, we can hope that the crossover (on a computer that is still using 2003) would work.
I have heard...not good things about Office '07. Me, I picked OO.o because I was cheap and the only version of Office on my second-hand computer was a trial version (the alternative was Works. Noplzkthx), but in the case of word-processing, at least, if you can handle Word 2000, or even Word '03, OO Writer's fairly self-explanatory if occasionally clunky.
Couldn't tell you how Impress and PowerPoint compare, but it's got to be worth a try.
