Quite honestly I like the interface of pre-ribbon word better than just about anything. The one exception is Pages, but since I don't have a Mac Pages is not an option for me.

There's a reason I still use Word 2003 even though I own the 2010 version. As an editor, I do not want to give up my customized toolbar or recreate my macros.

Right there with you. Although then I run into problems when people send me .docx files.

I was going to say - I installed windows 7 after intalling 2003. It automatically enabled office 2003 to open Docx files. The compatibility pack Jensen tried to link does this if that did not happen for you. but I think the link he intended was [link]

Yeah, I figured I would have to install my 2010 software at some point (and I did use 2007 at work and have Sophia's handy dandy menu conversion spreadsheets), but I haven't had a problem opening files so until someone won't pay me until I upgrade I'm sticking with my toolbars. (I don't know why all these companies think they are simplifying things when everything seems to take more clicks than before.)
