Helping seniors

I would like to help the seniors at a Senior Center.

Will Vista allow you to revert back to "Tradional View" with MS Word ?

Thanks.

Just what do you mean by "Tradional View"?

Vista or XP are operating systems, Word is a program that runs on top of the
operating system. If you are talking about the ribbon bar on the Office
2007 programs (Word, PowerPoint, etc.) then no. The ribbon is a "feature"
of Office 2007. There are 3rd party add-ons that will accomplish this but
Microsoft doesn't supply any for free. They have links on the MS Store that
pushes you to a for-pay add-on site that costs $19+ per program.

http://in.geocities.com/shahshaileshs/menuaddins is one site but can't
guarantee that it works 100%.

There are other add-ons but I would recommend you Google for them.

There are reputedly that do this. Google "office 2007 classic menu".

If you're referring to the 2007 ribbons versus the 2003 and earlier menus, I
personally find the ribbon much easier to use as you don't have to go down
more than one sublevel. You can get free cross references at MS. One is Word
2003 to Word 2007 Command reference; it allows you to select an item in the
2003 menu and it tells you where it is in the 2007 ribbon. After spending a
very short time working with the ribbon it becomes obvious where things are.

It's not an issue with Vista, but with Word.

Put your question (with more detail/explanation) to the experts:

microsoft.public.word.newusers
microdoft.public.word.general

The operating system (Vista) has absolutely no bearing on "reverting to
'Traditional View.' in Word or Office" That's a purely Word/Office
issue. What version of Word/Office is installed? If it's Word/Office
2007, there' no "traditional view" to go back to.

As in Word 2000 for example.

Are you anti-religion ?

Whatever he is, he's apparently proud of it.

Mark of an idiot for sure.
