Fixed it.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.)

More clicks, plus I have bad eyes, and can plain old see the menus better on pre-ribbon. And microsoft does not believe in letting you change menu font (unless you want to change the font in your entire windows). Got bad eyes? Use the magnifying glass to look at a tiny piece of the screen at a time Want a better accomodation than that? As far as Msoft is concerned you can fuck yourself.

I think ribbons are not unlike QWERTY keyboards.
I recall that someone was working on a plug in to give one menus. Hmmm.

There are plugins for menus. But they imitate the pre-ribbon menus only so far and then you back on the ribbon. Like if I want to change the format of endnotes or footnotes that has to be done with the ribbon. Plus menu plugins still use MS menu font (even the ribbon has some menus). So visibility problem does not change. I might be able to get used to the ribbon othewise. I could live with extra clicks occasionally cause mostly what i do in word is type. But if they won't give me either ribbons or menus I can see, well screw that.

You mean designed to slow you down? I did not realize it was purposeful.
