Um, you can do that but it costs like $40 and I can't remember where I saw
it on the web.  I'm not real happy with office 2007 either, however, Since
my copy of 2003 got messed up I have no choice in the matter.  I haven't
tried the program to change the menus because I haven't had the money to
pick it up yet and um, like I said, can't remember where I saw it.  If I can
find the tutorials for office 2007 back that explains how to navigate the
menus better I will post the url here for you.

    Jimmy:

How do you switch Office 2007 to the Windows 98 menu style?

If I could do that, it'd make me feel a heck of a lot better about Office 
2007 and maybe even Vista.

Well, feeling better about Vista may be stretching it, but I always try to 
keep optimistic.  (grin)
