Office 2007 UI 1

[netadmin06]

Hello to all, is there a way to make Office 2007 look as and behave as if it was Office 2003? Also is there a way so that when you click on the save button it will save it as a 2003 document and NOT 2007? I hate having to do a "save as" dont like the extra clicking..thanks

Hello Netadmin06,
If you do a search for Office 2003 skins there are a number of companies that offer what you are looking for.

You can set the default file format to Office 97-2003 in the Word Options area. Please be advised that many of the new features of Office 2007 system will behaive in reduced futionality or not work at all when saved in earlier file formats.

Regards,
Michael

it was a mistake upgrading...

So Christiaan's post of 24 Jul 07 14:04 is spot on.

Uninstall 2007 and install 2003.

i don't have office 2003

My attitude towards this whole thing is that you will need to switch eventually anyway, and Microsoft seems to have done a very good job with backwards compatibility, so why not just get used to the 2007 interface?

 

[netadmin06]

Because I don't like it and everyone else in the network has 2003

 

[gizmo1973]

Do you have the authority to make the decision about which version you use?

If so go out and buy a copy of 2003 otherwise it looks like you are stuck with your companies decision to move with the times as other than the answers you already have been given it appears to be that you do not have many more options I'm afraid

Failing that ask to swap you machine with another user on the network who's feelings are not so storing against 2007 and away you go...
