Does anyone know how to change the menus and toolbars in Excel 2007 to be
just like Excel 2003.

I do everything on the keyboard and all of these icons are driving me crazy

There is no "classic view". You need to get used to the ribbon interface.

I was afraid of that, I suppose I will have to run Excel 2003 for the rest of
my life.
heheheh

Thanks

Not so fast. See he
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...68e4c18e7fd e

There are people developing custom add ins to modify the ribbon/replicate
the menu structure of old.

You can add a menu with the old commandbars code

See this example, it will not change the ribbon

I could be wrong, because I don't have Office 2007 here, but I think
all of the key commands still work. I pulled this from a MS site.
The site does a pretty good job of walking you through the options.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...CH100648241033

If you're still unconvinced and you just want your old shortcuts back,
then rest assured: Most of them will still work. However, you'll need to
know the full shortcut from memory. There are no on-screen reminders of
what keys you need to press.

Here's how it works. In the previous version of Office, you pressed ALT,
E to open the Edit menu, and then you pressed the underlined letter in a
command on the menu. In the 2007 Office system Ribbon programs, when you
press ALT and then one of the old menu keys, you won't open a menu.
Instead, you'll see a message telling you that you're using an Office
2003 access key and to press ESC to cancel. If you know the key sequence
you want, you can just carry on and initiate the command. Otherwise, do
as the box says and press ESC to see the Key Tip badges. There's a link
to more information about this in the Quick Reference Card.

One more thing. You can also minimize the ribbon using the Ctrl+F1
toggle which leaves only the tabs. Single-click on a tab to see the full
ribbon again and it'll automatically disappear when you're done.

In fact, Excel 2007 Menu and Toolbars could be show again. Just download and
install Classic Menu for Excel 2007 from
http://www.addintools.com/english/menuexcel , you will see the Main Menu Bar,
Standard Toolbar, Formatting Toolbar in Excel 2007.
