Delphi 2005 seems to (eventually) compile my apps OK, But

* All help functions in my app no longer work compiled when with D2005

Contect sesitive, help_contents, whatever - does nothing. Recompile in D7, works fine.

* MS Word97 components are not included.

This seems bizarre - why would anyone want to use Win2000 components which won't (presumably) work with older versions?
I definitely don't want to force my users to upgrade from Word97! Using the old Delphi 7 source files for Word 97 does seem to compile and run OK in D2005, but I had to do this in a text editor because D2005 automatically adds Word2000 to the uses clause if you try to do it from the IDE. I don't see anything in the help about it. A mess.

* It's a lot slower. Takes ages to start up, and had to switch to old undocked layout for edit/compile/run cycle to run at reasonable speed.

* Had several crashes. Inserting method code from buttons on forms sometimes screws up the source code near the bottom. Highlighting of unidentified units/variables seems to be unreliable (highlights half of my code but compiles fine).

Look like some nice new features though if only everything else would work.

You should remove the design package for the pre-imported office
2000 package. Go to Component | Install Packages and remove
the dclOfficexxx.bpl. (otherwise you are using same-named components
from two locations, e.g. TExcelChart is in an IDE installed package
and also in your project).
