Re: Classic Mode ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You will find, going forward, many software makers adopting the Ribbon idea,
if not the exact interface.

Just for your information.

| Thank you all for your input. However I have absolutely no intention

| openoffice.org, and best part its free. I am one of the few people
| who will to pay for the software I use even with multiple systems I
| have a valid license for each; so MS through its stupidity just lost
| out on 10+ copies of Office.
|
| If this is any indication the way MS is headed I wont go apple but I
| have no problem doing Unix or Solaris as my OS. Just remember MS you
| are dumbing down the software to the point that even a trained monkey
| can use it, but then again how much does a trained monkey make, and
| will they be able to afford the SW. Your long time user base will
| abandon you good luck when you go BK.

||
||| Does anyone know if the Office 2007 system offers a classic mode to
||| make it behave like Office 2003? I cannot tell you how much I
||| absolutely HATE the new user interface. I have been a computer user
||| since the early 1980's and MS has broken about every rule of
||| incremental software design with this kind of change in the user
||| interface.
|||
||| Currently I am attempting to further my degree and I was forced to
||| take a basic computer class. The one I was stuck with was Office
||| 2007. All I will have to say is I am glad I found out about this
||| 'piece' of software now. I was intending on buying the new version
||| for my systems at home and at the office. After experiencing 2007 I
||| am very glad I didn't waste the money. I am constantly searching for
||| the features and do not have time to learn a completely new piece of
||| software in order to do my job.
|||
||| I do like some of the new features of 2007 but cant stand the UI is
||| there a way to toggle between a 'Classic Mode' and 'Totally
||| Different Software Mode (Default)'?
