Is there a way or method to make word 2007 appear as word 2003... I cant seem to find anything without spending extra time looking for it...

Jeff

Agreed - why would you want to - is it about not finding features?
Generally if you cannot find something jsut search eg: 'insert clip art word 07'
that'll do!

@whs and Aleeve:

Why would you want to?

Well, for me it's because of the changes that make my everyday work FAR less efficient. And the fact that the commands I've used to customise Word's behaviour either no longer exist at all, or have changed so much in presentation and behaviour that they are no longer useful. I can't think of one single thing that's better for me in Word 2007 compared to Word 2003.

I do understand the general basis for the changes, but I'm a long way away from what they're targeting as a typical user. It is such a nuisance to use that I now go back to my 4-year-old machine with Office 2003 on it whenever I need to do any word processing. When I can find myself a "new" Office 2003 package for my new 'puter, Office 2007 is GONE!

Oh, I know. As a software developer myself I have to consider those the same issues in my own work. But I still wish they'd keep the bits that _I_ like! ;D

Thanks for the responses.

Did not have the time to "learn" a new gui and was looking for a way to save me the time... just had to spend the time customizing the tool bar.. but still had trouble finding a way to make word 2007 mark the table of contents text with auto formatting incorrectly.. had that figured out in word 2003...

Those that asked why? to save me some time...

thanks though... and thanks Coates.. I loaded the extra you suggested.. will see how it works.

That looks neat. I guess they found a market with those that don't have the time or ambition to study new stuff.
