Nostalgia for the old UI
Can we please have an option to go back to the classic UI that we all know
and love/hate in Office 2007. I am using the Beta and I cannot find anything, and it is frustrating enough that I dont want to upgrade. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Nostalgia for the old UI
So don't upgrade. No one is twisting your arms or stealing your money. I
don't like it (translation: hate it) either but the "old way" is history and their is no classic view. That means I either live with Office 2003 forever or I adapt. I still haven't decided which option I'm going with yet. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Wizzard Of Oz" Wizzard Of wrote in message ...

I can only go back to Office 2000 - but I do genuinely like 2003.

Nostalgia for the old UI
I agree with your co-worker up to a point. When technology advances to the
point where the program no longer functions properly, it's time to upgrade. For example, DOS-based programs. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "++++Jack++++" wrote in message ink.net... former co-worker said "if it does what you want don't upgrade"...I use office 97 pro, does what I want and I'm happy..Bill Gates going to have to get his next BILLION from someone else "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ...
