Navigational Learning Curve

[cwmagui]

Why do I have to completely re-learn how to use Micro-Soft products every
time there is a new release? I have become quite proficient at using Excel
2003, but now I spend most of my time trying to figure out where things are.
Does the Easter Bunny work for you when he's not hiding eggs? Can I make
2007 look like 2003?

It may ease the pain.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks!

Sigh, just how long have you been using Microsoft products?

Hmmm..., to my opinion you will have to adopt the "new look" one way or
another.
However - there are some Excel users who do not accept the new approach so,
I refer them to the following link where you will find a wonderful "Old
Interface" simulator.
Try it - and then decide if it is worse $ 15.99.

OR..., for the whole "Office 2007" Package - for only $ 29.95

TOO LONG! But unfortunately, my office won't buy me a Mac.

And that would solve what problem? You realize there is a reason they
won't do that.
