Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if its possible to change the 'look' of MS Office Vista so that its similar in appearance to MS Office 03/XP?

Ive got a student with special needs who was doing really well in learning how to use Office XP and the new format of Office Vista on her new laptop has really thrown her and I'd like to adjust it back if possible.

Thanks for your help!

I'm assuming you're talking about Office 2007.

As far as I can tell, the answer is no. The only option would be to uninstall Office 2007 and replace with Office 2003 or earlier.

There is a way, but it costs money: http://www.addintools.com/english/menuoffice/default.htm

That will add the original menus to Office 2007.
