Default uninstalling office 2007

My new computer came with Office 2007, I absolutely HATE it. I have the
Office 2003 Professional CD. Can I uninstall 07 and install 2003 in it's
place or am I going to have error problems with a newer version being on the
computer? Office 97 had an eraser download that allowed the previous version
to work correctly.
Thanks

Provided your 2003 version is a retail and not a previously installed OEM,
simply uninstall 2007 first

It is a retail, thanks so much. I didn't want to start something I couldn't
finish.

Well I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one that thinks 07 is lousy. I
had the same question you did - going back to 03. I AM SO TIRED of going to
the help menu every time I want to find something on a toolbar. I don't know
what MS was thinking. All I know is that 07 is just about the worst thing I
ever saw; it appears to do nothing better than my 03 version. Reba, your not
alone. /Steve

I've been using office for years. and there's never been a version as bad as
07. not user friendly and for those of us used to our shortcuts that we've
picked up over the years it's EXTREMELY annoying. I can't find anything it
does better 03.

So presumably when you went from Office 97 to Office 2000 to Office 2002 to
Office 2003 you didn't have to learn ANYTHING new?
(The same goes for Windows 95-98-2000-XP-Vista.....)

I hsave been using Office since it first came out back in windows 95 days.
NONE of the changes from 97-2000-2002 were as confusing and made it as
difficult to find basic commands as 2007. The fact that several companies
have already come out with "classic view" add-ins for 2007 is a testement to
MS's screwup.

Rubbish. Sorry, it's not very difficult OR time-consuming to learn as that.
In fact I think you'll find that while SOME functions are slightly more
difficult to find, the vast majority are EASIER to find....

OF course there was something new to learn with each version...but I'm not
willing to put up with the garbage of 2007

So what "garbage" might that be? as an Office user since office 95 I find
office 2007 the MOST intuitive version yet released - all the functions are
in logical places...
