You and I and people like us who understand how software works are a small minority in the total universe of users. Most people use about 10% of the features of an app like Word, don't know how it works, don't have an intuitive feel for how software works in general (or their intuition differs greatly from ours) and are actually happier with the app doing more for them and offerring them fewer options and choices in many (but certainly not all) cases. Problem is, its not the same 10% for every user. Not saying simplicity and limited control should be the rule necessarily for a specialized app like DB or the rather sophisticated audience we have here, but it's critical for apps with wide demographic usage.
Speaking as one who doesn't understand the software completely . And now I feel insulted.
You want to say you know all of the features of word. Okay, well I don't. My main problem is, well and the problem of most people, I think. I want to use a feature, something like making a picture, creating a table, creating a diagram, seting page numbers, changing outlines. There is too much.
Where to find it, there are many options, very much. But sometimes you want to use a specific feature, but where is it. I don't know how to do it else if I where microsoft as different people need different stuff, but it seems pretty complicated to find something you need.
Example:go to tools->options
And you have another seeing at the enormous amount of options, I say aaaahgahah.
I am using office 2003 not sure if it fits too at office 2007.
