You can't save a blog post as .rtf, and if you open an old file in the beta, the file is converted to the 2007 format. Also, as far as I can tell, there is no downgrade availble for the beta. When the trial expires in February, I believe I'll have to uninstall it and reinstall Office 2000, which I was using before. Thank heaven I found those Cd's when I was cleaning my room :) The strangest thing about the beta is the programs included. It's <em>all</em> off the Office programs, including one I can't figure out. If anyone wants screen shots of any of the Office programs, let me know. I have them all, even if I'm not using them :) I could see that being a problem, expecially as the new Word is pretty limited on it’s file formats.

Thanks for the overview. I've been really considering the beta download but I am afraid of what it will do to my current version of EndNote ... which ties with my present version of Word. Microsoft updates are great, but it usually means upgrading everything else too. Eh ... Cool! Thanks for the overview.
