People have always purchased newer versions of microsoft products
expecting to be able to keep the same basic look and feel of the
previous version. Most times, people do not buy it, it is purchased by
the company they work for and shoved down their throats whether they
want it or not.
Attitudes like yours however is what is making more and more people
leave microsoft for free solutions such as Linux and Open office. Its
bad enough when you are forced to use something, but when you are told
to just shut up and lie back and enjoy it, you pretty much want to get
up and leave.

You bought Office 2007 sight unseen with the assumption that it was
the same as what you already had (2003). Now, upon finding that the
*new version* actually is *new* you expect MS to revise 2007 to be
what the prior version was. Yeah, that makes sense %}
I don't think you were taken any more by surprise than most of us by
the radical change in the UI. Herb offers some excellent advice and -
who knows - in time you may find that you wouldn't go back to the
"Classic" UI even if it were available. There's no doubt it takes
quite an adjustment period.
Good Luck |:)

Thank you... I knew about these already... What I am looking for
is Microsoft to add the classic 2003 feature to thier product. I
realize some folks think the new look and feel is great , I hope
the MS realizes that a great deal of CUSTOMERS like the Classic
menu's and built in MS options should be available for them. After
the money I just spent for this product I am not going to pay more
to fix it... 
Thanks again for the suggestion..
Mr Bill, Are you listeming?

I am so tired of the new 2007 ribbons.... I want my old "Classic
2003" menus
back... Any help?
These so-called improvements are not limited to MS products.
Most every software vendor when introducing a new version subtract some
useful functions from the previous versions.
