    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

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