MS365 is the biggest PITA I’ve ever had to use. It’s riddled with bugs, not at all user friendly, and wastes mort time than I’ve ever found with office products. I’ve searched the web at least 50 times to find a way to change the EXEL graph template and have found at least 50 different ‘solutions’ and none of them work. Office 97 was much better. Every change since then has simply made it worse.
I agree, I install Office 97 next to the newer versions on my machines.
I’ve had that software do weird things and a few times I had to reimage a laptop to fix after trying all sorts of supposed fixes.
Office 2010 gave me almost 0 trouble.
I am retired, but when I need to do a spreadsheet or wordprocessing or desktop publishing, I use 97/98.
I can have the job done before I figure out how to use the ribbon menu Office items.
