Phil,
Both versions of Word can co-exists quite happily on a single PC. See the
webpage link by Graham Mayor to fix the single issue of file type
registration.

If you are an expert user then you will soon see that advantage
gained with
Content Controls will offset the loss of AutoText autocomplete tip.
AutoText is still there but sadly the autocomplete tip feature is
missing.
If you are into XML (which I fall in and nearly drown from time to
time) you
will find it in enhanced significantly.
Me and a lot of other users have had similiar feelings as you are
having
now.
Fellow MVP Graham Mayor has some good tips on his website if you
want to try
to make Word2007 look something like
Word2003.http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm
I decided to just knuckle down and accept the changes. I sitll have
Word2003
on my PC, but find myself using it less and less as I grow
accustomed to the
new interface in Word2007.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the advice Greg. How do you manage to run both 2003 and
2007, i thought 2007 automatically overwrote 2003.
I don't want to project my being a super geek on WORD but i do have
most of the menus at my finger tips as alt-keystrokes and know where
to find everything from contents lists to styles to Tables, etc. I
had expected to find 101 new features but I really can't see anything
useful new and I've used it all for a week. It all seems aimed at
inter-working within the big organisations. The flexibility re change
tracking is much less than it used to be.

I've just upgraded to 2007 from 2003 and am wondering why I did it!
I see no extra functionality and, as a WORD expert user, am now
totally lost and can't find any of the features i regularly used.
And some are missing - e.g. AutoText.
Does anyone know any good reason why I might regret uninstalling it
and reverting to 2003?
