how do i enable the old menu bar
There is no old menu bar in Office 2007. Your employees will have to
learn the Ribbon UI if you upgrade to 2007.

Then that alone close any implementation plans for office 2007. If a number
of companies follow the same path as ours then the low rate corporate acceptance will encourage development of an application that has an acceptable ROI.

Adoption of any new Office version is always slow in corporate America,
which has considerable investment in training custom solutions for a given version, not to mention the software itself. But MS claims that reception of the new version is good. -- Suzanne S.

Well they would say that - they have stockholders to consider
It will be interesting to see what the *actual* take-up figures are like.

how do i enable the old menu bar
I cannot imagine a user of nearly 15 years, like myself, converting to the
Ribbon UI. This is an unimaginable design blunder. Some of us are still keyboard-centric (we enter/create vs. access data). Having to pick up the mouse every time to access what we see is painful at best. I was a beta tester for 95. I was in the cheering section for Office XP, expecially Outlook, and I wouldn't buy Office 2007 personally or recommend it to anyone who has ever used a computer. "Suzanne S.

how do i enable the old menu bar
Some of us are still keyboard-centric (we enter/create vs. access
data). Having to pick up the mouse every time to access what we see is painful at best. The ribbon is fully accessible via the keyboard. Press and release Alt to get started. In addition, all menu shortcuts (Alt+ something) that you have in 2003 work in 2007 as well. So if you know your keyboard shortcuts by hard, just keep using them. You should give the ribbon a chance. It is a monumental change and you really can only make a good call after having used it for a while (after all, you need to overcome its unfamiliarity). Also, I suggest you find a typical user in your organization and have them try it as well. Experience shows that the users most struggling with the ribbon are power users, because they know where their features are in the menu/toolbar system, while beginner/intermediate users often times end up hunting for a feature. Most corporate users are not power users, but the people making the decision on whether to roll 2007 out or not generally are. That is bound to give them a somewhat skewed view on what the real impact and training needs in the organization will be. I think 2007 requires a much different training approach than previous Office version. Different in that the users requiring the most training are the ones who required the least for earlier versions (power users). As I said already, force yourself to use it exclusively and see how you feel about a week or two from now (if it's any indication, it took me a month during the beta to feel familiar with the ribbon and not wanting to go back to menus/toolbars). There is a lot of things somewhat hidden that will make your life easier using it. Anything surrounding customization: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/10/18/68 (this basically lists anything you can adjust to your personal liking) Then I would suggest to take a closer look by starting from this post: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/10/09/58 You probably want to look at the sections "Overview of the new UI", "Ribbon UI Elements" and "Keyboard control of the Ribbon". A lot of the things categorized in this post are extremely worthwhile reading though.

how do i enable the old menu bar
I kind of expect your answer, but here it goes: Are you more productive with
the new menu system? Are you faster? Did you time yourself? I know why they dumb down the interface, but why do they have to drag the install base (at least 80% of the users of PC's) with them? I know the alt keys are in place, but it doesn't work the same. If I hit Alt-E and enter, it does nothing. In 2003, it would undo. That isn't being picky. I have been using Word, happily, since the first windows version. "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote: Some of us are still keyboard-centric (we enter/create vs. access data).

how do i enable the old menu bar
I have saved a link to your website and if ever forced to convert...
I just cannot understand why they ditched nearly a decade of habits when improvements in performance, stability, and security would have a greater impact on the product's reputation. They opened the door for OpenOffice and they didn't have to. I spent some time on the live demo. Excel's ribbon's (I use Excel a lot) were frustrating, but it is a dead horse.
