Office 2007 is different to Office 2003 in 3 main ways:

  • The introduction of a "ribbon"
  • The removal of toolbars & menu's
  • The introduction of XML file format

The ribbon, removal of toolbars & menus

The ribbon takes the form of a barat the top of the screen. It replaces the normal drop-down menu's and toolbars and instead categorises tool buttons into "tabs". It can take some getting used to, though the interface design is said by Microsoft to make usage easier.

A guide for the changes can be seen at the Microsoft site (see related links)

XML file format

This means two things, the default format to save work has an X at the end of it (i.e. docx) and this file format cannot be read by 2003 (without downloading a 2007 viewer). So its often a good idea save as a 2003 document, just to ensure usability on other computers.

Other Features

Office 2007 also comes complete with many new templates, giving the user much more selection and the ability to make their work look much more professional than similar templates within Office 2003.
