I hated Office 2010 when it first came out. I was stuck with it (at work) and learned how to use it. I absolutely love it now. The stuff I can do easily that was a challenge in the previous version of Word is legion.
I also import a lot of visio drawings into word document.
Next time you do it (with word 2010), try “paste special”, then choose “picture (enhanced Metafile)” and after it pastes, go to the picture tools format tab. Then chose the middle picture style (drop shadow rectangle). Where I work it is part of the secret to my success in documents. They love my stuff.
Office 2010 is bloatware. Almost any and every app takes 5 minutes to load.
Try copying shapes from one app to another in shape form (something you could do through 2007) — it defaults to metafiles which suck.
I wanted to export an mppx to xlsx yesterday — by the time I was done answer all the “wizard” questions, 10 minutes had gone by and the guy I was doing it for just write down the information into a legal pad.
That is only the beginning of the list of suckeosity I can produce on request.
