Would be nice if you created a Pup Taskpane……Channces are people will at least see it…straingt away…

Is that because of the ribbon, a desire to use the new file formats or other issues?

Jim

the Amazon ranking is based on pre-sale orders. And I’ve just added one pre-order because I think I’ll be needing it (had very little time to play with 2007 to date).

Thanks for putting in the work so the lazy gits like me can just get you to work out all the hard stuff for us!

I view it from a ‘PUP’ view

The 95′s Bible is kept in my ‘Excel museum together’ with, for instance, an original package for Excel 2.1d for Windows and Ouattro Pro for DOS. I would like to get a copy of the first Excel version on Macintosh as well.

On my ‘shell space for learning’ I can only see .NET, C#, XML and SQL Server 2005 books!

Kind regards,
Dennis

“If I recall it right the same scenario occured when Excel 2000 hit the market. Both then and now reflect a larger gap between the versions of Excel.”

People did not have to relearn Excel when they upgraded from 97 (or 95) to 2000. (You even say in your post that you still have not upgraded from the Excel 95 Bible.) The interface worked much the same in 2000 as earlier, programming was much the same, and the cost-benefit was a slam dunk.

The upgrade from Excel 4 to 95, or that from 95 to 97, was more disruptive than any upgrade within the 97 to 2003 time frame. But I think the upgrade to 2007 is more than any before. The changes are more significant, and the installed base is so much more substantial.

My congratulations for the 2007 Bible.

So You imply that I will be forced to replace my signed copy of ‘Excel for Windows 95 Bible’ with this one

“I plan on making a special [PUP] version that will work only with Excel 2007?

If I recall it right the same scenario occured when Excel 2000 hit the market. Both then and now reflect a larger gap between the versions of Excel.

As long as the upcoming version of PUP works 101 % with the Swedish version I will be pleased

Kind regards,
Dennis

(Btw, Amazon pre-sells their books, so one can put it in their shopping cart and be notified as soon as its available. It’s a nice feature. Already having a sales-rank though sounds silly, but I guess they are counting pre-sale orders for this statistic? I can’t think of what else it could be.)
