office 2007 does suck. if you want to make a document look pretty, or need more
the 65K rows and 256 columns, it's fine. but for people proficient in office
2003, especially those that write code in excel, excel 2007 is a pain in the
ass, and slow as hell, too.

Thanks, but I didn't ask for the hotkeys to those functions - they are the
same as in XL2003 :-)
(Besides, you didn't provide the way to hide/unhide sheets, as I asked for :-)

I want to be able to find them, point them out and execute them with the
mouse, just as I was able to do in XL2003!

New Years resolution: If XL2007 doesn't show its "incredible ease of use",
"outstanding userfriendlyness" and "powerful features" before 31.12.2008, I'll
reinstall XL2003 by 01.01.2009 - NO MATTER the hang overs!

ALT+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW
Groups rows or columns.
ALT+SHIFT+LEFT ARROW
Ungroups rows or columns.
CTRL+8
Displays or hides the outline symbols.
CTRL+9
Hides the selected rows.
CTRL+SHIFT+( (opening parenthesis)
Unhides any hidden rows within the selection.
CTRL+0 (zero)
Hides the selected columns.
CTRL+SHIFT+) (closing parenthesis)
Unhides any hidden columns within the selection.

I've tried installing Excel 2007, but must admit I'm close to giving up !!!
How can anything in this world be so solw and clombersome ?!?

And, also I'm finding myself spending 90% of my time looking for, what I
think is seemingly simple stuff!

Like, right now:

- Where to find the dialog for inserting and deleting names???
- Where to find the dialog for hiding and showing sheets???

There simply no logic in this Office package!!!

Why, oh why, haven't Microsoft let the user decide if he wants ribbons or
menus?!?
Why, oh why, are we forced to use what some smartass focus/developer group
suddenly think is the coolest thing since sliced bread!?

Can someone, PLEASE, help me?!?


TIA,
