Tech-Recipes, thanks for being there. I can understand adding the new features, buy why change the program so drastically. Thus far, it takes more mouse picks than before to do some key tasks and using the right click is more unproductive than before not to mention doing away with some of the Ctrl options makes using 2007 frustrating. It may be prettier and have more icons but it is not practical. I am VERY GOOD with Microsoft Word and do not need all of the little pictures/icons to help me decide what to do and then do it for me.

Thank you! You saved me. Spent about an hour in vain trying to find Tools->Options. Guys from Microsoft were foolish enough not to introduce option: "Use MS Word 2003 buttons and menu layout". MS Office 2007 is as disgusting as Windows Vista. As a result the transfer from earlier versions of MS Office to Open Office is much easier than to MS Office 2007

thanks a lot.

Thanx shamanstears that helped me alot :]

thanx that helped me

I was at a seminar this morning for accounting software technology - I asked the seminar leader if he knew how correct my measurement problem - I mentioned I went to Office 2007 site - followed the procedure they suggested going to control panel and make a similar change. He suggested a google search and the first site was this one - followed the instructions and it worked immediately (I need to change from Metric to Inches). Thanks for the assistance

Thanks for the valuable info. What used to be simple suddenly became a problem.

thanks.. this is very help me.. :D

Thanks for the help.

thanks! was trying to find out the "Tools" menu like in Word2003 for a good half an hour, and even tried Help section which didnt really help!!! i think the changes they made in Word2007 didnt actually benefit the program versatility!!!

Hi, Did you eventully find out how to change those f.... inches to a metric system. ?

MS WORD 2007 instead of improving and making it more friendly user, has become a nightmare for even conversant in Word users. The worst is, that there is no chance to convert a measurment from inches to metric system. In addtion the increments are so confusing as one inch has been divided in 10 / note metric system used- hehehe/, so could you / familiar with imperial system / tell me how would you set up for instance a margin for 1.9" ?

Is anybody out there who would tell me how to change a measurments in MS WORD 2007 from inches to a metric measurement?
