Re: Use Office 2003 interface in Office 2007: is it possible?

Hm. Well I came back into this forum to find out if MS had made any strides
regarding enabling the old toolbar (in an official sense) in 2007, but I
guess not.

Are you aware of somewhere we can provide some sort of official feedback
along these lines to MS? Thanks much!
