Good for home users and students [Posted on 2002-07-24]
These templates are good for home users and students but if you're a business looking for more professional looking templates, you can skip this item. This is not a product for the office environment.

I was expecting better :( [Posted on 2002-09-18]
I purchased this product a few months back, expecting to receive some very cool PowerPoint and Word templates, but was very much disappointed. PowerPoint temps are more for use in creating digital photoalbums, the ones that are dedicated presentation slides are very lame and drab I would certainly stick to the ones in Office. The ones in Word were very disappointing, its like they were trying to turn Word into a desktop publishing programme, its very difficult to navigate in application that was not made for creating postcards. The Outlook stationaries are satisfactory but I do not always use them, Excel is also satisfactory it has templates for creating book list and "student register". Overall I would suggest purchasing a third party app with much more pleasing templates than this. I was also expecting templates for MS Access.

Microsoft should be ashamed... [Posted on 2002-09-28]
Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves for putting out such garbage. Of course, they aren't; they have no shame. I'm actually embarassed for having bought it. I'm hiding the product in the trash so I don't have to explain to my wife that I purchased it. What utter garbage!

I was looking for some resume templates and some PowerPoint templates. The resume templates are horrible. Microsoft didn't even use the Styles feature of Word to identify headings and text and bullets in the resume documents. All they did was change a few font sizes (most of the fonts are Arial) under the normal template and adjust the margins of the documents. This is nowhere near the quality of resume templates that you get in the MS Office installation.

Likewise, the PowerPoint templates are nowhere near the quality of the templates that come with MS Office. They literally took small pieces of clipart (that you could find free online) and pasted them into PowerPoint. Most of them are on white backgrounds. For instance, one template has a clipart graphic of piano keys placed as a border across the top of the PowerPoint slide. Still a white background, and still Arial font. Absolutely no creative effort went into this product.

I was too disgusted to look at the Excel templates. I seriously doubt that it took the "team" that created this product more than two hours to put these templates together. I'm not kidding; I could have done this myself in no more than a few hours.

Anyone who thinks this product deserves any stars has absolutely zero design sensibility. My own admittedly sorry efforts in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel at template design are far superior to anything found in this package. I loathe this product. I wouldn't take this product if it was given away for free. Under no circumstances is this product anything that should be sold commercially--not by some middle-school computer programmer, and certainly not by Microsoft.

It's a shame for MS to produce and SELL it! [Posted on 2003-01-29]
I bought this to combine with another order and hoped to make my life easier with it. However, I found it a [bad item] after I got it. The calendars are for 2001 and the other stuff are nothing more than a collection of its "templates" from MS website. Fortunately, it comes with a [$$$] rebate, otherwise, I would regret I spent [$$$] valuable dollars to such a [bad item]!

If you have ordered it but it has not arrived, be ready for... regret and disappointment;
If you have not ordered it, never think buying it!
