Microsoft (ugh) Office 2007 or 2010 ? Need advice from those in the know

I'm helping my pastor out with powerpoint presentations. I type in the scripture text, superimposed over an image appropriate to the subject of the text, and it is displayed on a screen for the congregation as he delivers the sermon.

He has Office 2007 and I am using Libre Office Impress, a free version of the Microsoft software. It has worked alright, with some workarounds to overcome a certain amount of incompatibility with the proprietary microsoft program. Because of the time involved in getting this done and presentable, I want to get a more compatible program and have decided to purchase either 2007 or 0ffice 2010.

Reading amazon reviews of both I'm wondering if I would be better off with the 2007. It is what my pastor has and he will not be upgrading in the near future. Anyone have experience with both 2007 and 2010 that can advise me if I would be better off with one than the other , going by what I'm using it for ? TIA.

Tbh, I don't think it matter. For the stuff that you're using it for, I can't imagine there will be incompatibilities.
Just go for the cheapest one.

The one thing with MS Office is any office document going back years will always be compatible. I have both 2007 and 2010 and to tell you the truth they are basically them same. A few cosmetics and a few make-overs but I'd get the cheapest.

Agreed. Office 2007 has the same functionality as office 2010. I work for Geek group from Good Buy. I own Office 2007 and sell Office 2010 because that's what we have in store. There is no reason that 2010 is better then 2007. If one is cheaper go with that. Office home and student 2010 (word, excel, Powerpoint, Onenote) should be $119.99 or less.

Thanks gents, I have my answer and will shop around for the most inexpensive option.

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, Laptops, Electronics, HDTVs, Digital Cameras and More! is where I get a lot of my stuff, good price and great customer service. Couldn't find 2007 with their stuff though...
