Word 2007 in Word 2003 format

[Kingy]

Mr King senior is currently studying a computer course in basic Word, Office and Excel. He has been given an assignment using Word 2003 but has 2007 installed on his computer. Can anybody recommend a reliable add in that brings up the old Word 2003 ribbon in 2007?

Not sure about that one. You're probably already aware that you can save 2007 files as 2003 format though I assume?

Wasn't there a major interface change between 2k3 and 2k7? I think the OP wants to restore the original interface.
Which I don't think you can. That's why I use OpenOffice.
BTW, what's the name of the course and where's he studying it?

When Office 2007 was released I installed an addin called ClassicUI. It adds an extra tab to the 2007 'ribbon' which looks like the 2003 interface. Hope this helps!

Yes thanks wmr. I am trying to keep things simple for him.

Bilston College. I'm not sure what the course is called.

It has thanks Mr X.
