Office 97 Excel was even faster. I don't need the pull-down to the pull-down menus. The idea is to get there as quick as you can, and I don't need to spend a whole day figuring out personalized shortcut keys to redo bad programming. Most of use the same functions over and over with a pretty stable set of formats. The new version of Office 2007 is not an improvement, it is visual nonsense that means nothing if you are past kindergarten. I applaud whoever had the brains to offer a program that will allow me to revert to the "not broken" previous menu bar, and will download it. Thank you!

A pity that this program cannot work in Outlook and Access. I search the google, and find Classic Menu for Office 2007 from Addintools. It is a suite to meet my needs.

It's easy to use, it can be configured in a manager to enable or disable the add-ins. In short, I love it. Disadvantage is you need to pay for it. But what can you say for such a good software, it only asks for 29? Yes, i choose the Chinese add-ins Classic Menu for Office 2007.

I'm not exactly that old; in fact, I'm a college student. I managed to learn the "new and pointless" UI in an evening for the purpose of training staff at a building firm next week on how to use this lousy program MS has released. Office 2003 was by far the easiest and most logical Office by far so why would they go and change it completely? I'm a part-time PA and I mainly write letters which requires me to adjust the page margins. How is hiding the margin ruler "intuitive"? Then, the button to view it is so obscure it might as well not be there.

This was the answer I was looking for from the beginning! This is a product I am in love with! Thank you so much for this. To think it was free!!! I have not been using my office program after getting my new computer with Windows 7. I purchased the new Office 2007. That ribbon did not work for my use/needs/brain? 2003 was the best. After a year of frustration, I can now use my Office program. Thank you so much!!! I am so happy. This was the answer I was looking for from the beginning! This is a product I am in love with!
