VISTA and Office

I purchased a computer with Vista installed. I also purchased Office 2007.
How do I get Office 2007 in Vista to look like it does in 98 or XP or any
other normal program.

Office 2007 has a new UI that does not look like previous Office versions. Office never looked like Windows, either 98 or XP.

Office 2007 has the new "Fluent" UI (aka "Ribbon"). There's no way to make
that UI look like the previous one. There are add-ins available that you can
download so that one of the tabs looks like the old menu.

Alternatively, you can return Office 2007 and get Office 2003 instead. I had
the trial version. Didn't like it at all. So, I got rid of it and went back
to Office 2003.

HTH!
