Why? Why should we learn something new and move on? Have you ever heard the
expression, if it ain't broke, don't fix it? Well, for some of us the way
2003 gave us freedom to work the way we want to work wasn't broke. You
should have seen the custom toolbars I had in 2003! It made my job SOOOOOOOO
much easier!! I could add macros (of course I know I can add them to the
QAT, but there's not enough room for everything I use), rearrange the
placement of the icons, change the icons and so much more, so again Why? I
was lucky enough to be forewarned that our company was moving to 2007 so I
had my add-ins all ready to install and use them on a daily basis just as I
did when using 2003. All the other person was saying is Why not give users a
choice? Again Why? Is there REALLY a reason? And, no we don't have to get
used to it - we always have the choice to use a different software product!

Well you are out of luck. Office 2010 has more ribbons than ever.
Check http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Ribbon_Menu_Controls.htm . Just below the
last image you can find an addin to get the old menus in Word 2007 (well
almost). But honestly, you shouldn't be using them. It's time to learn
something new and move on.

Dear Microsoft. I have no idea who laid out Word 2007 but the toolbar,
icons
and menus at the top makit impossiblefor me to do my job. You should give
people the option to keep the menus and icons layout that is in Word 2003.
I
spend most of my time trying to find things because whoever decided on
these
groupings makes no sense. I created my own customer toolbar but I can't
put
everything I need and use there. In your next release, please put in the
option to have the origianal toolbar and menu of Word 2003. I am losing so
much productive time becasue I can't find anything.
