Need Help with Word 2007
I have a version of Office 2007 from my work, but I hate Word 2007 and want
to install Works with Word 2003. It won't let me. I know on my previous laptop I found a place that let me disable Word 2007 & just use 2003, but can't find that window anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find that? Or - I have a document done in Word 2003 that I need to update, but every time Word 2007 brings it up, it wants to put a red strike through the old item and put the new info to the side. I just want to overwrite the old item. HELP! Word 2007 is really frustrating! It took me forever just to find the print and save menus! |

Need Help with Word 2007
For the red strikethrough, it sounds like you have tracking enabled. In the
Review tab, click Track Changes to toggle tracking off. Ctrl+Shift+E also toggles tracking on/off, as does clicking Track Changes in the Status Bar (assuming tracking is displayed there). When you say "It won't let me" install Works with Word 2003... what do you mean exactly? Is there an error message of some kind? While you can't simply "disable" Office 2007, you can remove it. Assuming you're using Vista or Windows 7, in Control Panel, look for Programs and Features. There, you should be able to remove/uninstall Office 2007.

Need Help with Word 2007
Thanks so much for your help! I've printed off your comments and will try
doing that with W2007. My problem is that 2003 is so simple to use. I have to keep the Office that work provided me because I need Excel, so can't uninstall it all. My previous computer had XP on it. I had Word 2003 on it first and then installed Office when I received it. W2007 kept overriding 2003, but I went into Office somewhere and marked a check box indicating I didn't want to use w2007 and it never came up again - always defaulted to 2003. Maybe Vista doesn't support that. Or maybe I should install Word 3 first again. Or can Office be custom installed? The only thing I need from the stupid thing is Excel! Thanks again for the help!!!
