I find the new UI in Office 2007 very annoying and slow to use. Slow to find
even basic functions. Please tell me there is a way to revert to the classic
menus...

Office 2007 applications that use the new ribbon interface do not
include a built-in ability to change back to the old menu interface. But
there are many third-party add-ins that allow you to do this (ask
Google). One of my fellow MVPs has developed an add-in for Word 2007 to
mimic the old menu interface... there are two versions, a free one and a
paid one with more features... see
http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribbon...izer/index.php for more
information.
