Thanks for this advice, DJ. That is basically the conclusion I have now
reached myself. Having already had two heart attacks, I think that I might
be pushing my luck by attempting anything complicated in Word 2007 or
Excel 2007 at present. I suppose that we all need to learn Office 2007
ultimately, but it will take some time.
It's a pity that Microsoft did not adopt something like the option of Classic
Start menu and Classic desktop in later versions of Windows to ease the
transition.
