Change look and feel of Word 2007
I just upgraded (my company upgraded me) from Word 2003 to 2007. I really
don't like the look and feel of 2007, especially how busy the top bar is with the boxed menus. Is there any way of reverting the look and feel (or at least portions of it) back to those of 2003 or earlier versions? |

Change look and feel of Word 2007
G'Day Marcos,
The BAD news is that it cannot be done! The GOOD news is that you can soon get used to it - really! See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...CH100487431033 for an online interactive guide that shows the Word 2003 Menu and, when you perform an 'action' with the Menu, it shows you where the command is in Word 2007. If you like it, there is a standalone version that you can download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en All the best! -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Marcos_H" wrote: I just upgraded (my company upgraded me) from Word 2003 to 2007.

Pat is correct, you will adjust, or you will retire.
I hated it when I first started with Office 2007, and I use Word, Excel, and Access constantly. My biggest problem was that I could not find the commands I was looking for, and if I found a command and then didnt use again for two weeks, I had to play the hunt for it game all over again. But you will soon get used to it. "Marcos_H" wrote: I just upgraded (my company upgraded me) from Word 2003 to 2007.

G'Day PA,

Fluent, Huh? ;-) -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "PA" wrote: Pat is correct, you will adjust, or you will retire.

Office 2007 does not have a "classic menu" option built in, but there
are a number of third-party add-ins available that add Office-2003-style menus to Office 2007. Two free ones I know of are http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribbon...izer/index.php and http://in.geocities.com/shahshaileshs/menuaddins . In Word 2007, you can press Ctrl+F1 to toggle on/off display of the "top bar" (aka Ribbon). Marcos_H wrote: I just upgraded (my company upgraded me) from Word 2003 to 2007.
