Old ones that don't always work were often on the old File menu (now
Office button menu), where properties moved to
Office Button=Prepare=Properties so (Alt, F, E, P) works to get you
to the 'basic' properties, but the old (Alt, F, I) will
now take you to the 'Office Center' (Word 2007 Options) dialog

You can re-instate the Word 2003 File Menu accelerator keys if you want. I
wrote some brief notes about how to do it:

Hi Digitig,

On the keyboard shortcuts you mentioned, you may find that many of the old
version ones still work g as do the new ones.

For example Alt, E, F will still bring up Edit=Find (as will Ctrl+F).
If you press Alt, then E, you should see a tooltip that
Word 2007 recognized that you are using an Office 2003 shortcut key
sequence

You can, however, add your own keyboard shortcuts as well, at least in
Word g. For example to add a keyboard shortcut for the
Word 2003 like properties dialog you can use
Office Button=Word Options=Customize=Keyboard Shortcuts
(Alt, F, I, C)
and from the 'All commands' category, select the FileProperties choice.

You can right click on the Crop tool icon to add-it to the Quick access
toolbar, although it does appear in the
Picture Tools=Format ribbon with a double click of the picture after
inserting a caption. If you're handy with VBA (which
I'm not g, it can probably also be added to the right click menu for
pictures as well.

There are a number of different spreadsheets, by example tools and add-ins
available that you may find helpful.

Some folks prefer to work with a minimzed ribbon (ctrl+F1 or double click
on a ribbon tab)

Oh great, I guess we are supposed to be mind-readers and just know all

"Could you provide some steps to reproduce the behavior?"

To be fair, I'm quite glad that Microsoft can't see everything I'm typing
in
my word processor. I do like /some/ degree of privacy!

Isn't MS supposed to be telling US where these behaviors are? Didn't
someone test this before releasing it? Why to users have to point out
the
problems?

But I guess if there is no regard for the amount of lost productivity
caused
by someone in MS not having anything better to do than completely change
the
UI, there certainly is no interest in telling customers how the new UI
actually works (when it does).

Well, I loathe the new UI with a vengeance, especially the way common hot
key sequences are really long (altEF replaced with altHFDF, and try
getting to custom document properties just using the keyboard!) whilst
rare
actions have really short sequences (altPH for hyphenation settings and
altPJ to set the columns -- both things that I do once and for all in
the
document template), and the way I keep having to switch between ribbon
tabs
when on previous version I could have left all the relevant toolbars open
for
the task I was performing (when I'm putting a series of figures drawn in a
different tool into a document, I hate the way the crop icon goes away
when I
add a caption -- I reckon it pretty much doubles the distance the mouse
has
to travel to do the job).

But for all that, when I had trouble with word count I came here and found
that the function I was used to was still available and still worked as it
should, so credit to Microsoft for leaving it in. And when I come here
with
what is effectively a bug report, what on earth do you expect /any/
responsible company to do other than ask for the steps to repeat the
behaviour?
