Not precisely the same, but see

With the right RibbonXML script you can have very similiar menus in
Word2007. See the last illustration here:

See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm for tips on how to begin
customizing your ribbon. I can send you the script for the classic UI.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the
strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly...who knows
the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a
worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high
achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat." - TR

Hi,

Please excuse me if I have jumped to the wrong conclusion and am not giving
you the information that you specifically ask for, but your question suggests
that you are experiencing some pain and frustration in making the transition
from Word XP to Word 2007. In Word XP, you found comfortable ways to
proficiently perform your tasks, and now you unexpectedly found yourself
barely knowing how to do the simplest tasks in a new unfamiliar user
interface. I assume that you would probably prefer getting your work done
than spending your time re-learning how to do things that you already knew
how to do quickly and easily.

There are some ways to make the transition to Word 2007 a little smoother.
For one thing, you should know that any sequence of keys that you pressed to
open something from a Word 2003 menu still works in Word 2007. (Since the
Word XP menu system is nearly the same as the Word 2003 menu system, this
statement should also apply to Word XP.) You can still press Alt with the
letter that opened one of the Word 2003 menus followed by the appropriate
letter for one of the menu items to activate that menu item. For example,
pressing Alt+T and then O will open the Options dialog box just like in Word
2003. If you remember such sequences, you can still use them.

Also, the key combinations that performed tasks in Word 2003 (and Word XP)
still work in Word 2007. For example, Ctrl+S still saves your document,
Ctrl+A still selects all, etc. Using key combinations always had the
advantage that they freed you from reaching for your mouse and from looking
through menus and now the Ribbon.

There is a lot of information on the Web to help you with this transition. I
suggest that you check out the Interactive: Word 2003 to Word 2007 Command
Reference Guide at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100744321033.aspx. There is also a
useful guide at http://www.marshall.usc.edu/assets/003/5290.pdf, which shows
the Word 2007 equivalents for everything in the previous menus in one PDF
file. These are just two that I found helpful. There are many more.
