The ribbon will not change, nor is there a "classic" view option.

I am a first-time Office 2007 user, and as such, I hate some of the changes
I'm seeing. Perhaps that's a normal first reaction to Office 2007, and
perhaps I'll grow to prefer it. But for now, it appears I'm forced to
waste
valuable screen real estate staring at the outrageous ribbon bar that
often
doesn't even have the functionality that I'm looking for. At least with
Office 2003 with its regular menus I could click on one entry and hover my
mouse around the others until I find what I'm looking for. And of course I
could customize the toolbars to my liking, maximizing my available screen
real estate. If I can do with the the ribbon, then it just isn't obvious.
