    Thanks for the link. But, I'd like to point that it's only for College/University students. I bought Pro Plus 07 for $75 from Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU).

    I dont think you can superficially make Office 2003 to look like Office 2007.

    The effort it would take to make it look like 2007 wouldn't be worth it at all.

    Best to just get 2007.

    Office applications don’t support user applicable skins or themes; therefore you cannot change the UI to look like 07.

    yeah... the ribbon interface is one of the signature improvements. If you can easily make 2003 look like 2007 then what's the point of even upgrading to 2007?
