Vista - Office 2007 Word

05-11-2008

Is there a way I can get the latest Word to look and act like the 2000 version.
The reason, of course, is that 2007 is rubbish. I say this because NOTHING
is where logic says it should be kept, and when I do finally find what I want
(if indeed what I want is still possible, and sometimes it is not), the
instructions are scattered all over.
I mean, these stupid "ribbons" that don't contain all the options they
should, and some they should not.
For instance - inserting pictures.
It used to be that you could insert a picture and then perform ALL the
operations on that picture in one place. However, now it is necessary to go
to three or more places (by a lengthy process) to make the changes. Sometimes
it is necessary to revisit each point several times before the changes are
satisfactory.

So Word is now ok (sort of) but how do I correct the new (dis)improved
version of Powerpoint as it is now impossible to use easily?
