You can CUSTOMISE on install instead of choosing INSTALL - and retain 2003
except Outlook - only 1 version of Outlook is allowed. Otherwise you can run
2003 and 2007 Word Excel PowerPoint Access Publisher with Outlook 2007
concurrently.
There is also a great add-in called RibbonCustomizer from Patrick Schmid MVP
you might like to try which you might like to enable you to customize the
Ribbon interface.

Hope this helps.

Hi, long time word user, first time needer of this discussion group.
I was going to have a bit of a vent at why MS would change one of the best
customization in word, but I will take a very deep breath and move one.
(Not
happy at all!!!!)
Cindy, how do you bring the customization forward to word 2007 when the
office program removes the previous version when it is installed? If I
have a
2003 still installed on another machine is it possible to transfer from
one
machine to another some how?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Graeme,
it answers the question but does not explain why Microsoft has removed
from
a very satisfactoy process in Word 2003 which in my case was used
frequently.
It would seem that the Customisation screen could have included a drop
down
for other menus rather than just the quick access menu.
A lot of people agree with you... :-)
FWIW, if you make the customizations in a Word 2003 document or template
and
bring it forward into 2007, the customizations should still be there.
Right now,
an earlier version of Word is the best way for an end-user to make
customizations in Word 2007.
