Word 2007 to look like previous versions
Hi Hrast,
The legacy toolbars and interface are not available in Word 2007. Many of the Word 2003 keyboard shortcuts still work, including the alt keys for the old menu choices In Word help (F1) search on commands (in Officeline help) or Ribbon in online help to get to the interactive was/is guide and keyboard shortcut listings. ================== "Hrast" wrote in message ...

Uninstall it and re-install 2003! Otherwise get used to the new look.

Wow. How arrogant that MS would not provide a way for the user to personalize
the Word 2007 interface to work like the Word 2003 interface. In XP and Vista, the user is allowed to use the "classic" Start Menu (which I do). I don't understand why legacy Word users have to *get used* to the new look. And I don't understand why MS thought this new look was an improvement. What did they base that assumption on? I just installed Office 2007 Pro last night in order to take a class on Excel. I plan on uninstalling it today, reinstalling 2003 Pro except for Excel. I'll install Excel 2007 because the class requires that version. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Uninstall it and re-install 2003!

Word 2007 to look like previous versions
Many, many people told me NOT to upgrade to Office 2007 because I would hate
Word. But I got a new computer with Windows 7 and decided it was time to make the change to the latest Office version, too. Now I really wish I had listened to other users advice...because I absolutely hate Word 2007. Some program features and chronic glitches may have been fixed but the user interface stinks. It's looks like a goofy grammar school program and the buttons I use are gone. I'm a professional writer who's been using Word since the beginning and find this complete revamp without the ability to go back to a classic style ridiculous. I don't like it, I can't change it, so I'm stuck with it. I believe one respondent called it MS arrogance, and I absolutely agree. I will do as others did with me, tell everyone considering the upgrade not to do it. I strongly recommend MS drop the arrogance and offer users the option to go back to the simple, clean, customizable Word 2003 look and feel. At the very least, give us the option to customize what appears in the (blech!) ribbon. Sign me...

Is it better? That I suppose will always be determined by the opinion of the individual user. I think it is, but I didn't always think that way. You can never make it look and act exactly like Word2003, but you can come close. One way is to put a template Add-In in the Start-up directory that contains a ribbon customization script to duplicate the menu in Word2003. See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Ribbon_Menu_Controls.htm and the last graphic on that page. |
