Is there any way that one can set 2007 so that it displays the old standard
tool bar in addition to the new ribbon. I am an occasional user and am too
old to learn this new system on the first day. I would like to have both for
a while.

Thanks

Hi elstalker,

No, but there are various 3rd party tools that try to replicate the old style menus.

Cheers

Hi Elstalker,

To add to Macropod's reply, there is a review by Bill Coan, Word MVP, of two of the tools that give you the old menus and/or allow
you to tweak the Ribbons in Office 2007 available at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CustomizeRibbon.htm

There is also Word MVP Graham Mayor's article on how to use your own old menus inside of Word 2007, available here.

There are also Microsoft's selection of cross reference helpers available from:
