Hi,
How can I enable/display the Tools and File Menus in Word 2007?
[URL="http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm"]http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm[/URL] is a broken link. Is
the Options menu still under Tools or is it somewhere else in Work 2007?
Thanks,
Mark

You cannot go back to the Word 2003 interface in Word 2007, if that is what
you are asking.

In Word 2007, you open the File menu equivalent by clicking the Office
button (on the top left of your Word window). You will see a Word Options
button which you can click to display the new Options dialog box.

Hi Mark,

In addition to what Stefan wrote, there are some ways to make the transition
to Word 2007 a little smoother. For one thing, you should know that any
sequence of keys that you pressed to open something from a Word 2003 menu
still works in Word 2007. You can still press Alt with the letter that opened
one of the Word 2003 menus followed by the appropriate letter for one of the
menu items to activate that menu item. Thus, pressing Alt+T and then O will
open the Options dialog box just like in Word 2003. If you remember such
sequences, you can still use them.

Also, the key combinations that performed tasks in Word 2003 still work in
Word 2007. For example, Cntrl+S still saves your document, Cntrl+A still
selects all, etc. Using key combinations always had the advantage that they
freed you from reaching for your mouse and from looking through menus and now
the ribbon.

There is a lot of information on the Web to help you with this transition. I
suggest that you check out the Interactive: Word 2003 to Word 2007 Command
Reference Guide at
[URL="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100744321033.aspx."]http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100744321033.aspx.[/URL] There is also a
useful guide at [URL="http://www.marshall.usc.edu/assets/003/5290.pdf"]http://www.marshall.usc.edu/assets/003/5290.pdf[/URL], which shows
the Word 2007 equivalents for everything in the previous menus in one PDF
file. These are just two that I found helpful. There are many more.
