Just a guess from someone who's been using xl2007 for less than a week!

My guess is that the worksheet "form" will look very, very close. But the
toolbars that you used to see will be replaced by the wizard.

It may make your changes a little more difficult until you find those equivalent
features--but for the typical user, I bet you won't notice much of a change.

But the only way to really know is to try it out. You may want to have both
versions installed on your pc--and be the first person to get 2007 so you can do
some rigorous testing.

I create workbooks for accounting students that include blank general
journals, ledgers, financial statements, and the like. Certain information is
provided, and students fill in the rest (often typing data into specified
blank cells), then they turn in the file as a completed assignment. My
question in general is this: will custom-designed spreadsheets of 2003 look
the same when viewed in 2007? I utilize many apparently blank cells that
contain custom number formats (to align underscores and dollar signs in a
column, for example). Should I anticipate any compatibility problems with
files created in 2003 for users using 2007? There are no complex macros,
add-ins, or templates involved. Thanks.
