Change Office 2007 display to 2003

[Rustin]

I just purchased a new laptop with Office 2007 but don't like the interface.
Is there anyway to change the display to more like 2003?

Well hey, why stop with 2003? Why not go all the way back to Office 95?
No, there's not unless you use third-party add-ins
Have a look here:

While I can appreciate that it's a huge change, NOW is a great time to get
accustomed to the new interface. Be the first kid on your block, etc....

If you STILL want to stick with the old ways, Patrick Schmidt has an add-in
that will give you the option of the "classic" interface.

(I'm forcing myself top do it the hard way - it's not all THAT bad.)

I have to force myself to display the Classic UI tabs of my add-in for
testing purposes. They feel soo out of place in 2007...

I have to say that once you get used to the ribbon and the changes in
location for various functions, I wouldn't go back to 2003.....
