This thread is amazing to me in lots of ways, but this line:
> I have Office 2003 (or maybe it's 2007?)
... is the stand out jaw-dropping moment.
I use Word 2003 for outline mode today, because for me, it's the final version that's usable. Word 2007 has the "Fluent UI" with a ribbon, making it unusable to me.
I boggled that someone might not notice what was a deal-breaking total UI change that drove me off a platform I'd been using for 19 years.
- astura 3y agoWhat I have installed on my work computer is the last version of Office without the ribbon and before the new XML file formats. I don't know off the top of my head if that's 2003 or 2007. What exactly is so "jaw dropping" about not remembering exact version numbers? I don't use it day-to-day, but I have a few legacy "spreadsheets" (really small programs) from clients I have to work with once in a while that have macros that don't work right in modern office.
- lproven 3y agoAhh, OK, now I understand! Sorry. I meant no offence. There's a big difference -- at least for me -- between "I can't remember if it has the ribbon or not" (very surprising) and "I don't want the ribbon but I don't remember which version introduced it" (perfectly legit). My apologies.
