Rather you must look and look to find rethem, some in one area and some in another. I do not find it more intuitive. I do not find it easy to move from the older versions. This looks solely like change for the sake of change. Or change to entice you into buying the new versions of MS Office. (I guess Microsoft stock needs a boost.)
