Today I am uninstalling Office 2007 and going back to Office 200. I am
a s/w engineer and worked on UI but this Office2007 has been a
nightmare for me. I get little free time to work on technical doc and
that precious time gets taken by learning the Office 2007. I do not
think people learn how to drive a car once two year and have better
things to do in life than re-learn the how to edit a document.
Irrespective of UI at the end of day it just a document...
I am totally frustrated. (Note I have programmed for MS windows 14yrs
and nothing against them)

People have always purchased newer versions of microsoft products

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 Openoffice. 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 boughtOffice2007sight 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 revise2007to 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 theUI. Herb offers some excellent advice and -
who knows - in time you may find that you wouldn't go back to the
"Classic"UIeven 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?

2003" menus

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.
