Office 2003 - A Step Backwards?

[Dennis]

I recently was upgraded from Office 2000 to Office 2003. After weeks
of frustration trying to locate various things (like Format-Style), I
have removed Office 2003 and re-installed Office 2000 (which I love).
Can anyone tell me what, if any, improvements have been made in Office
2003 that would justify the cluttered screens, incomphrehensible
menus, and missing office toolbar?

I appreciate your responses. I checked through the recommended sites
and training. I fail to see where I need any of the "improvments" and
will continue to use Office 2000.
