    Prefer 2003 as everything's in a sensible place. It's not cross platform though, to I use WPS, which to be fair does a very good impression of Word 2003.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I use Word 2003 at work (and XP - don't criticise me, it's the Government and they're paying Microsoft a lot of our money for the privilege...).

    At home we have a mixture of 2007 and 2010, on Windows 7 and 8.1 ;)

    The docx format takes up less space. You can test that by saving a file in doc and then docx format if you have the right version. By all means use whatever is your preference but at least check your facts before mouthing inaccuracies.
    Something you can do in 2013 that you can't in 2003 is edit a pdf. The ability to crop pictures has improved. Onedrive is integrated into the package. You can use it with a touch screen. There are loads more and all of the aforementioned may be of no use/interest to you. As remarked earlier you can get it cheaply if your firm has a licence for individual use or you are a student so £9 is hardly "silly money"

    This is probably the point where you accuse me of working for Microsoft!


    Not just student. If you work for certain companies its £9.99 for Office 2013 just now.

    open office , why pay for Microsoft products
    Because they are more powerful?
    Not that the poll is about that, so your post doesn't count :P

    LibreOffice, as do all the Leaders within my local Scout Group and Scout District.
    Why?, it can save as a pdf.

    Lots of apps do that, it's not peculiar to libre
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
