Hey I have Microsoft Excel 2007, from my course at college I have been given instructions to do a task. However these instructions are for excel 2003. How do I change my excel 07 to look like excel 03 so that it is easier. I know there is a way, help greatly appreicated thanks.

Well, you can buy an add
Show Classic Menus and Toolbars on Ribbon of Excel 2007 (http://www.addintools.com/english/menuexcel/default.htm)

Wait.. I found a free one (although I did not try it)

Okay thanks. Is there no way to just change some settings in it?

Well, I'm sure with enough tinkering, you could do it... but it would be MUCH easier to use an addin.
I know there was a video (press release) from Microsoft about this very thing.. I don't remember what they said, but they had their reasons for not giving you an option for 2003 interface.


Ms DOES have an option for returning one version for another. Somewhere... lol

Okay thanks. Does anybody else know?

Does that translate to: "I see a free solution offered but don't want to spend anytime on it myself?"
