Excel 2003 FILE menu commands in Excel 2007

Microsoft Office 2007 uses a new so-called ribbon interface which is much different from menus and toolbars that we know from Office 2003.

Office 2007, that is namely Excel 2007 and Word 2007, and PowerPoint 2007 use tabs that group icons, options, and drop-down menus. Some say Microsoft is probably trying to converge their software to the look and feal of Macs.

Since the environment of the new Excel 2007 and Word 2007, and PowerPoint 2007 is so much different, it may be hard to find in the Office 2007 what one is looking for. We did some work in this area and found how Office 2003 menus translate into Office 2007 menus.

Note, one item in the picture is labeled with Not in the Ribbon (add to QAT). This means that you won't find this item in the ribbon. If you need this easily accessible, you have the option of placing this command to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT).
