Does anyone know how if there is a way to change the Office 2007 menu
interface back to Office 2003's classic menu??? I know it is in line with the
new look of Vista, but I am really annoyed with the Office 2007 interface.
They have changed the locations of the menus and regrouped different
functions in the menus. I HATE IT!!! I have memorized and have been using the
short cut keys (Alt+##+##) which still work with 2007 and that is the only
thing that has saved me from trashing this copy of Office.

Copied from Herb Tyson MVP Office

I believe that the 2nd one of these is free, but I don't know whether one of
them does a better job than the other of providing the "classic" 2003 look:
It involves about 10 minutes worth of effort to make the quick access
toolbar look like those from Word 2003. The same approach can be used to a
certain extent for other Office 2007 programs that use the ribbon interface.
Of course, this can't help if what you really miss is Office 2003's menus.
Though... if you still have your Office 2003 disks, you might be better off
reverting to Office 2003 and seeing if you can get a refund for Office 2007.
A lot of us have grown to like Office 2007, but if you don't need what it
has to offer, then you might be better off reverting. Good luck.

Re: Want Office 2003 interface instead of Office 2007
Thanks for all you suggestions. I got the Office 2007 package as part of a
new laptop purchase, so I would have wanted Office 2003 instead if it were an
option.

Re: Want Office 2003 interface instead of Office 2007
pizzaman, did you get the actual or the trial version of Office 2007? I got
the trial version with a new laptop. After using it for several weeks, I
opted to remove Office 2007 and revert to Office 2003 for several reasons,
the ridiculous Ribbon being one of them.
I am also working on transitioning to OpenOffice, since MS plans to use the
Ribbon everywhere they can and have ZERO plans to provide a classic UI,
despite requests from many longtime users.

Re: Want Office 2003 interface instead of Office 2007
Well, Bob! It certainly sounds as though you feel threatened by viewpoints
different from your own. May I recommend you seek some therapy, as well as
some Dale Carnegie courses (to develop at least a decent level of people
skills)?
BTW, the correct spelling is "cease", not "caese".
I suggest if you don't like my posts or feel inadequate in any way because
of them, feel free to ignore them. That's the mature way. I assure you it
won't hurt my feelings in any way!

I'd suggest that you move along, you assist no one, and your constant
whining is tiresome.
Good day!

I suggest you follow your own suggestion. Whether you like it or not, there
are plenty of long time users who don't like the Ribbon UI and find it
counterproductive. That's a fact, learn to live with it and stop your whining
about those who don't share your viewpoint.
I have every right to voice my opinion here and agree with those who have
the same opinion. Are you mature enough to understand that?
As far as your "suggestions" are concerned, they have less value to me than
the weeds in my backyard.
