Help! I upgraded from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007. The new menu is just
horrible!! I want to go to work rather than waste time learning the new
"ribbon" which hides the old commands and keys. Bill Gates et al you have
BIG assh0les. Is there a Excel 2003 menu overlay available in 2007?

Get used to it.

I hear the beta of 2010 uses the same interface.

There are third-party add-ons that give you the look and feel of Excel 2003

I think there is also a free one but can't remember who wrote it.

We have a classic menu product to help get over that initial shock
whilst still being able to access all the new stuff in 2007. its he

If you intend to continue to use Microsoft products you will need to get
used to it as they are putting it in more and more of them.
