Is there a free download to restore my Office 2007 menu to a classic 2003
(user friendly) one ?
I have taken a look at several (at cost) options and don't feel that we
should have to pay for a microsoft mistake

So why buy 2007? Just use 2003 if you like it.
best wishes

There are a couple of options:


http://www.addintools.com/english/menuword/ (I don't know if this one is
free)

http://pschmid.net/blog/2007/04/20/111 (Pat has two versions of his
software, and one of them is free)

And the reason you didn't know is that you didn't do your research. Microsoft did - http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh. Not Microsoft's mistake.

Well you could have TRIALLED it before lashing out......

Because it isn't the one you want to hear? Just because it is true and
you don't like it certainly doesn't make it bad.

Why didn't Microsoft give an option for the Classic Menus?
