Hi Neville, Not a WE app, but you can buy a Word add-in (whose name is something like classic menu) which tries to give you back the 2003 menus in 2010.
GW does sell a book on use of Word with WE which does explain the ribbon, you might be better off buying that, since you can then talk with other Word users and understand what they're referring to on the menu. There are probably new features that the classic menu can't give you access to. hth, Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Neville [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 12:21 AM > To: GW Micro > Subject: Re: Perks of Office 2010 over 2003? > > I am still using Office 03 and am wondering if there is a WE > app which makes the 2010 ribbon more accessible? > Thanks > Neville. > > > On 12/03/2012 6:54 AM, Chip Orange wrote: > > Hi Keith, > > Well, 2010 is the supported version, so problems get fixed; > not so much > > with 2003. > > The file format in 2003 is binary and subject to corruption > very easily. > > The 2010 file format is xml-based, and even if damaged you can still > > load your document usually. > > I think WE works better with 2003, and 2003 is easier to > use, but what > > can you do: it's not being supported, and so you could run > into problems > > of all kinds continuing to use it; I think we've got no > real choice but > > to move on and wait for MS and GW to make it possible for our screen > > readers to deal with it. > > I'm sure there are new features in Office 2010 which are > worth-while (I > > don't know the differences well enough to say), but the > document file > > format stability really is an important one.
