We've actually found Excel to be considerably WORSE with regards to stability. Freezing, randomly deleted info from other tabs, deleted hyperlinks in tabs, etc. It's been a nightmare. We're also seeing considerably higher processing errors from word, where the file was saved as an earlier edition. You get a "found a problem with its contents" window, coupled with a blank document. It's been causing nothing but headaches for us, aside from the ****** ergonomics/attempt to blind its users with whiteness.
