Anyone here used office 2007?

I find it all so different!

I can't find anything.

I need to buy a book.

You can buy an Add-in that displays Classic Menus and Toolbars on Ribbon of Microsoft Office 2007. It cost US$29.95 but you can try it for free. http://www.addintools.com/english/menuoffice/

I agree m277 Office 2007 takes a bit of getting used to but after a while you soon learn where to find things and now I prefer it to the 2003 menu.

You can download a free PDF file explaining where to find 2003 commands on the 2007 Ribbon at http://www.mrexcel.com/freebook2007/index.php?mychapters=a5fa6f3d8ab6d21b5222b3ae474bf6f8-1126 and download chapter 2. Chapter 3 lists keyboard shorcuts.

Me too. After about a year of using it I'm faster and more efficient on it than years of using 2003 (and much much longer of using menus in general). I wish all my apps had a Ribbon/Fluent Interface now.

I've been using Office 2007 for a while now and I've never used the help facility so much.

Same with anything (really) new. When was the last time you used a new interface? I can't remember when I did. It was all menus as far back as I used a GUI operating system. The last interface change I went through was from DOS/BASIC to menus in a GUI. It was really about time they changed it. The menu interface was never intended to have the plethora of functions and options (sub sub sub menus) that are found in modern apps (such as Office 2003 programs).
