Default Considering upgrade office 2000 to 2007

Have you seen or used Excel 2007?

It's quite different in appearnace from any previous versions!

Do any of your macros interact with the Excel user interface? If so, that
could be a big problem in Excel 2007. The developers of Excel 2007 didn't
want anyone to mess with the user interface so they made it very difficult
to do, if not almost impossible in some cases.

The best thing you could do is to download a trial version of Excel 2007 and
take it for a test drive! Excel 2010 will be coming out soon (no, I don't
have any inside info!) so you might want to consider waiting for the newest
version.

I just upgraded kicking and screaming to Windows 7 (love it) and am
considering an upgrade to Office 2007. I use Excel extensively and my 2
main
files are around 20meg each with a large number of quite complex macros.

Any advisory comments would be appreciated, and I'm particularly wondering
about forward compatibility and whether my Excel 2000 macros are likely to
fall over under 2007.

(Also, I'm wondering if the facility has yet been built in to cells to
instruct the cursor on entering to then move to a designated cell?)
