Douglas, Another way to change to Normal view in Word 2003 was to use the shortcut Alt + Control + N; the same keystroke in Word 2007 puts the document into Draft, which is how Word 2007 terms what in Word 2003 was called Normal view. Does that do what you want?

At least I am not alone! It would not be so bad if the machine with Office 2003 on it was networked to this one - but I actually have to transfer the files using a memory stick! What baffles me is that whatever you do to the 3 buttons in the View tab of the ribbon nothing seems to change. could be hal I suppose- I will try downloading a demo of Window-eyes and see if I get on any better with it in that particular situation. Of course, as you probably know, Microsoft left a lot of the old key sequences in 2007 despite the absence of menus. For instance I always use alt F and A to get the Save as dialogue. I tried to see if alt, V and N would change to the normal view, but no luck! Douglas .
