I have Word 2007 at home and use Word 2003 at work. I looked at the roadmap
and that helps. My co-workers have also asked about it and one question that
came up, is there a GUI you can load so that the Word 2007 GUI looks like
the Word 2003 GUI (same pull-downs etc) ? However using a Word 2003 GUI may
also defeat the purpose of learning Word 2007 and when Word 2003 eventually
goes away, we are back to square one in learning Word 2007 again.

I'm truly sorry you have been frustrated with the Office 2007 UI. I've been
using their 'roadmap to the kitchen' <reposted again http://tinyurl.com/y85r6y for your convenience> and it has helped me
immensely. Their roadmap tells me what drawers to look in for what I need.
How long have you been using Word 2007?

My analogy for Word 2007 is that it's like having someone come in and clean
your kitchen, and they took it upon themselves to rearrange all the
cupboards. Everything looks great, but nothing is where you put it. So, when
you need the tablespoon, or a saucepan, you have to open every single drawer
and cabinet to find it. You know it's there, but you don't know where it is
anymore. It's highly frustrating.
