I'm guessing this is not a question of if you should upgrade but what are
the
potential problems? As for 2010 and Win7 - of course they may be better,
most companies of this size (100000) generally wait to see how the new
product fares before committing, which would mean now will become 2013 and
by
then 2014 will be in the works so...

Passworded documents may cause issues.

Plan for at least 1 days training for every user. Expect productivity to
fall like house prices and recover slower than the British economy.

My Advice: wait for Office 2010. Then roll out Off2010 and Win7 together.

Currently: Office 2003 SP3 applications on XP 2002 SP2
Upgrade to Office 2007 SP2 suite
We are planning a corporate upgrade from 2003 apps to 2007 suite for
100,000+ users globally.
My question is what are the known issues with this upgrade, whether
they
are
server issues, application issues, functionality issues, etc.
I have cross-posted this to the usual applications as well as
windows.upgrade and office.misc so I can capture all users of these
applications as well as the network people.
I am aware of the usual new 2007 user interface issues but are there
any
problems we can head off at the development stage?
I have reviewed the MS website but am after other issues that MS may or
may
not know about, or wish to keep quiet about ;-)
Many thanks in advance
DeanH

Jim: many thanks for the link, some very good comments there.
Thanks for the response.
All the best

There are a lot of issues.
I've just finished a project moving a few thousand seats.
If you want this to go without too much pain then you need to get some
folks with migration experience in. We had 3 and we were kept busy.
If you have a lot of user developed VBA you are in for some fun.

Simon: many thanks for your comments and I am sure we will have many
migration experts, so I hope any migration will be painless - yeah right! ;-)
I have picked up that any VBA from old versions will not migrate over
without problems and I have made a note of this in my ever growing list.
All the best.

Everything that I have created in earlier versions of Word (well form Word
97 onwards) has worked without problems in Office 2007 with the exception of
the situation described in the following links:

Office 2007 SP2 created quite a number of problems - one of which was
that
it corrupts document variables.

However a hotfix has been released that fixes it and a number of the
other
things that were broken by SP2.

That hotfix and more information can be obtained from:
