    I purchased, and downloaded Office 2007
    I HAD 2003 and should have stuck with that.
    I HATE 2007
    I've lived with the File Edit View Tools, etc toolbar for well over a decade and am running 3 businesses and barely have time to sleep, much less retrain myself on Office software.
    Usually there's an option to view your new software as your old software.
    I'm not finding that here.
    Does anyone know how to set Office 2007 to be viewed as 2003?

    Hi

    Sadly no in Office 2007 the menus and the ability to go back to the old style legacy has been removed.

    Some tools emerged to give some of this functinality back, but never tried any of them as got used to the Ribbon Menu fairly quickly and use a fair amount of shortcut keys before and they still work.... did find out that the Ribbon menu did increase mine and others productivity after a month or so as tasks where easy to find as no more going through one menu to find another and another to get to the task.
