The look of Word 2007

[Guest]

Can you change the look of Word 2007 so it looks more like Word 2003?

You cannot do this out of the box. Microsoft did not provide a Classic
UI for Office 2007. You have to use 3rd party add-ins to achieve that,
if you really want to. I advise against doing it though, because the new
Ribbon UI is superior to menus & toolbars, once you are familiar with
it.
If you really want a classic UI, you can get one for free with my
RibbonCustomizer add-in: http://pschmid.net/blog/2007/04/20/111
In that blog post, I also provide links to the other two add-ins that
provide you with the 2003 menus & toolbars in 2007. Note though that
those two only have a free time-limited trial, while the classic ui
feature of my add-in is completely free.

Yes. But it's going to cost you an additional $30. Want to know why? Because
Microsoft doesn't care about its long time customer base.
