I would like to help the seniors at a Senior Center.

Will Vista allow you to revert back to "Tradional View" with MS Word ?

Thanks.

This is a Windows XP group, perhaps you may ask in the Vista group, or
the Word group. But, I for one have no idea what you mean pertaining to
"Traditional View"

Further questions about Vista should be asked in a Vista newsgroup. This
group is for Windows XP.

Putting Vista in a "classic" theme mode will remove much of Vista's
graphical user interface functionality. I don't recommend it. Further, you
do not do people favors when teaching them how to use an operating system
by making it look like a different operating system.

Either teach the seniors to use XP or teach them to use Vista after first
making sure you are qualified to do either. I'm not saying you're not and
I'm not saying this to be hurtful, but based on questions you've asked in
various MS newsgroups you should be sure that you really know what you're
doing before taking on the job of teaching/helping end users.

Search the Internet for a utility to convert the MS Word 2007 ribbon back to
drop down menus. I have no doubt that you would have to pay for the utility

If you're asking about getting Word 2007 to lose the toolbar and
revert to a Word2003-type interface, the answer is no.

It unfortunate that many took a request for help as a criticism.

The only criticisms on this news thread is that you haven't given enough
information for many of us to understand your question. Vista has an
interface and Word has an interface and they are two entirely different
programs. See my comments in your post in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general.

Also, if you want to post on two or more newsgroups learn how to cross-post
not multi-post. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting for more
information. Multi-posting as you have done makes it extremely hard for
people to help you and it causes duplication of efforts.

If you like and understand the XP Office Word or 2003 Office Word, uninstall
2007 Word, which may be only a Trial, and buy Word 2003, which is Vista
compatible.

If Word 2007 or Office 2007 is such a PIA because of this (and I've heard
those comments before from others), why not just stick with Word/Office
2003. I'm surprised the Senior Center even went to the trouble and expense
of installing the latest version.
