How to Change Office 2007 UI to Look Like 2003?

[sunmeng82160628]

Hi,

I Am about to buy a new office, and I must decide between 2007 and 2003.

I'd like to buy 2007 (same price where I live) but I cannot stand the UI.

Is there a way to make it look like 2003 (for me Word/Excel is enough) ?

Thanks,

You landed in a Mac group. For a list of all PC groups see: Office

Diane, it would be nice to have this answered here as well, for those of us using 2007 in virtual spaces, but who don't want to ever visit (for as long as we live) Office Online

Hi,

keep in mind that this newsgroup is designed specifically for Office for
Mac. We've already got enough work on our hands to support that version (and
its numerous iterations, on many different versions of Mac OS X). There are
some MVPs who work cross-platform and who use Office 2007 on a regular
basis, but unless they provide an answer, you will have to ask your question
elsewhere. Keep in mind that you can also access newsgroups related to
Office for Windows via your favourite newsgroup reader, so there is actually
no need to visit one of the many poorly designed web interfaces.

If this is of any help: as far as I know, there is no way to switch back to
the Office 2003 interface. I don't know if it is possible at all to modify
the Office 2007 interface, but if it is, it will certainly involve a lot of
programming.
