Can I change Word 07's layout to Word 03?
I just got Office 07 and I cannot stand the new layouts, the ribbons, the
font style 07 starts out with, and a few other things. I want to know if there is a way to change the look of 07 to look like 03. I like the old simple looks with the tool bars, and not these ribbons. Thanks |

Can I change Word 07's layout to Word 03?
No! Re-install Word 2003, or get used to it.

How is it that you bought Office 2007 without being aware of the
revolutionary new UI? It's not exactly been kept a secret. -- Suzanne S.

Can I change Word 07's layout to Word 03?
As others have noted, there isn't a switch to enable the old UI. I recommend
you give yourself a little time and try some of the new features before you decide you don't like it. For example, on the Insert tab try out the Text Box gallery, SmartArt, Header, Footer, etc. Then perhaps on the Page Layout tab, try out some of the Themes. Also, you may find installing the Get Started tab helpful. It contains links to content on Office Online, such as training and tutorials for Word 2007, along with a link to an Interactive Guide for finding commands in the new version: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

This review covers your options:
http://computerworld.com/action/arti...leId=9017 851 All three add-ins provide you with some menus & toolbars experience in 2007. Note that I am the author of the last one reviewed (RibbonCustomizer) which offers this particular UI change for free. I do suggest though that you try to use the Ribbon first for a while before installing such a Classic UI crutch.

I've been tempted to try your RibbonCustomizer but I am determined to learn
how to use the new interface. I have no doubt that you've done an excellent job on it tho. :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote in message ...

You might want to think of the ribbon as a drop down menu laid on it's
side.. there are also numerous customization options available, if you are prepared to spend just a little time with it.. "ACardAttack" wrote in message ...

Can I change Word 07's layout to Word 03?
Thanks Patrick. I will check this out.
I have been using office for many years and changes have been subtle. Office 2007 is a FAR cry from any previous version that I have been using for the past 10+ years. This old dog does not have time to learn new tricks. Thanks, Danny Mc?

Can I change Word 07's layout to Word 03?
I don't have a little time to give to Microsoft. I've spent almost 20 years
learning the old office. I am so very sorry that I purchased this MS product. If bill were here I would smash him on the head with my laptop - that's about all its good for right now. I can't find anything. It is more than frustrating. "Beth Melton" wrote: As others have noted, there isn't a switch to enable the old UI.

Can I change Word 07's layout to Word 03?
I'm still puzzled about why/how so many folks are upgrading to Office 2007
without having been aware of all the hype surrounding the new UI. MS employees blogged about this for over a year before the software was released, the rollout was accompanied by widespread demos and a media blitz, etc. So how is it that MS has somehow tricked people into buying something they don't want? -- Suzanne S.
