This should help you understand some of the differences i how they present different options and what works best with what version of office. http://download.microsoft.com/DOWNLOAD/2/A/A/2AA0D302-86A6-4AA2-A0A4-4F15FA7DBF5C/BUSINESS%20PRODUCTIVITY%20AT%20ITS%20BEST_WHITEPAPER.PDF Regards John Timney

You will get all the features of office 2007 when you connect to a 2007 MOSS service, but presented via a limited ribbon in the client. All the features of Sharepoint 2007 should work fine, Office 2010 will essentially operate as office 2007 when you connect to MOSS - your problems are much more relevant in the client areas. You might need to do more planning if you use things like Sharepoint Designer with 2007 as 2010 doesn't connect to 2007 services, so you'll need to run both versions at 32bit and get the install and patch order sorted out. Same for Infopath I think, 2010 excel and powerpoint both operate differently. Many of the features of outlook 2010 will simply not be available if you remain on Exchange 2007 for example. Technet has a good assessment section you should read through. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee460876.aspx The PDF was only intended to show some of the subtle presentation differences between the two versions when interacting with Sharepoint you might consider if you are choosing a 2010 office client. Hope that helps! Regards John Timney

Hi, Well I am using Microsoft Office 2010 with MOSS 2007. I never faced any issues. Even I design all my Infopath templates in Office 2010 and deploy them on MOSS 2007. Regards Ginni [My SharePoint Blog ]
