Windows Vista and MS office 2007. Toolbars are a headache. ?

Question

On my new laptop, I have windows vista and ms office 2007. I am so used to my office computer( which has older version of word). The toolbars on ms office 2007 are soooo confusing. Can I change the word toolbar 2007 to the older style toolbar. help!!

Answer 1

Office 2007 does not have a "classic menu" option built in, but there are a number of third-party add-ins available that add Office-2003-style menus to Office 2007.  Two free ones I know of are http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribboncust... and http://in.geocities.com/shahshaileshs/me... .

Answer 3

To acquire the Office 2003 classic menu onto your Office 2007 software, use ToolbarToogle!

Quote from their official website: "ToolbarToggle is an exact replica of Office 2003 classic menus and toolbars for use with Office 2007. Users can float or dock the toolbar and add new menus, toolbars, buttons including Macros and Autotext. ToolbarToggle supports third party IT systems and apps."

I believe this could be the closest you can get to making Office 2007 organized like Office 2003 other than purchasing it.

All you need is to give up $19.95 US and all your troubles will just go away! (well.... depends on your definition of troubles...)

Before you purchase ToolbarToggle, I suggest you to download the 5 day trial version just in case you are not satisfied with the full product.

Download the 5 day trial version here:
