Any way to make office 2007 look like OfficeXP or office 2003

Trying to get used to the new layout in office 2007 but also have a project I
need to get done. Is there a setting I can change so that office 2007 word
looks like the older version. I knew where everything was and don't have much
time to learn the new layout just now

Um, Bratboy,
Could you just possibly be affiliated with that crap website? Why ask
for advice if you already had a totally different solution? I smell a
rat, errr, a brat! Now go back to you stupid website and stop luring
people there. I do realize that there are several people that are
frustrated with the new format and the ribbon, and it is ripe for
stupid sites with crap "trial offers" to try to make a buck off of
people's laziness and/or unwillingness to learn something new. The
ribbon is not that hard people.
Now if I am wrong, and I don't think I am, sorry "bratboy".

First off your response is rude and secondly no I am in no way affiliated
with either trialware or that utilities website. I only leaned of the app
from other posts here after doing another search here concerning "Ribbon" &
learning of it and was trying to be nice and post a link. Both I & my partner
like the ribbon and intend to use it but we are both old, I'm 45 and he's 53,
and are trying to do some college classes with homework before the July 4th
weekend. Its not that we are suffering from, as you put it "Laziness". I am
just so used to MB's being slow in getting a response that when I read and
found the link here I used it and it did what I wanted so told others is all.
Now you have a very nice weekend,, God knows you almost ruined mine with your
inuendo!!!!!!!!

Oh and after I had found and tried the app I mentioned I did go look at the
2 links and they would do as well but "RibbonCustomizer" isnt free either.
They want $29.99 for it.

There is a free version as well if you look closer.

Ahh, I see that now, thanks for pointing it out. The extra features actually
sound nice tho if I decide later I want to do more customizing to the ribbon
so I've bookmarked both the links garfeild-n-odie post. Their appreciated.
Still think canadians post was a bit rude & insulting tho. I was just paniced
and hadn't expected any responses untill after july 4th weekend and after
reading so many posts,over a hundred at least, about the new UI being here to
stay was just thrilled I'd found a post mentioning the other one. Fortunatly
I was already considering trying out Blockbuster so it didnt actually cost me
anything. Like I said we both like the Ribbon but trying to learn Vista & a
new interface at the same time stuff was due for school had me in a panic.

Anyway Thank you Garfield for posting those links. I'm sure others will find
them helpfull as well
