You can uninstall Office 2007 and re-install Word 97, if that is what you
want to do.
You could even have both versions loaded, to get you over the transition -
see
http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm (though note that Word
97 is Word 8.0 - the article uses Word 2003 as an example. Word 2003 is Word
11.0)
The only problems you might encounter will occur is if you upgraded an early
version of Outlook to Outlook 2007, which uses a different file format. The
older version will not be able to read the newly converted data file. Word
2007 is however streets ahead of what went before.

Is it safe to simply use the Control Panel to uninstall Word 2007?
I like Word 2007 not. MY productivity has crashed. My clients
expect quick turnaround on their work, but operations now take me
twice as long.
Trying to use it is eating into my time with my family. I have to
make two or more mouse clicks to attain functios I used to with a
single click. Ribbons disappear when I need them, just because I move
the cursor outside some region in the document. I cannot create
custom toolbars to remain in sight at all times. I can't insert
formatting and other functions into the toolbars in a logical
position. I cannot dock toolbars to the side or the bottom, or have
them float I am forced to add operations to this "quick access"
toolbar...which now holds everything possible because I need the
operations handy. I even bought the addin tool to give me back my
menus and such, but my ability to keep my work on pace has been
eroded considerably.
I just want to remove Word 2007 forever and go back to Word 97 if I
have to. Can I do it safely or has Microsoft made Word 2007 a cancer
on my machine?
