Second to add the old menus to the new Ribbon
The new Word 2007 and the other new Office Programs do not include any access to the old menu system, while that means you should get used to the new one or remove office 2007 from your pc, which will not be what you want. Lots of people will be busy and will wanne get on with a document work rather than try to study the new programs all at first. The solution is to use an external system. There are some programs becoming available to buy but there is a perfectly good free program which achieves the same. This is called UBitMenu. Find this by going to microsfotware.com and searching there.
And to use UBitMenu
UBitMenu will emulate the Office 2003 menu in Word 2007, Excel 2007 and Powerpoint 2007. The program is an add on and is free for personal use. It works by adding an extra Tab to the Ribbon called Menu which contains the old 2003 menus. While you get accustomed to the ribbon interface you can easily go back to the old system to quickly find a command.
And to train Courses
Make use of the free Office 2007 training courses and videos at office.microsoft.com. There is also a very useful interactive guide which allows you to hover over a 2003 menu and get a note popping up to tell you where the command is located in the 2007 programs. From office.microsoft.com on the Help and How to Menu at the bottom of the page click Office 2007 Ribbon. Next page click Interactive Tour, learn more. Next click Interactive Guides in the second paragraph and choose Word or one of the other Office programs.
And to Customisable Commands
Most of us use certain commands frequently. For these Office 2007 has a Quick Access Toolbar in the top left next to the Office Button. The default commands included are Save, Undo and Repeat. This Toolbar can be customized to add your own frequently used commands and any you like to use which take a while to reach in the 2007 system. The ones I have added are Spell Check, Quick Print, Select All and Clear Contents.
Adding a command is easy. Get to it on the Ribbon or Office Button, right click it and click Add to Quick Access Toolbar. If you cannot find the Command another way is to click the Office Button, and then Word Options at the bottom and then in the left panel click customize. There is a list of options for choosing Commands. If you are not yet familiar with the Ribbon it is probably best to go with Popular Commands or All Commands. Find and click on the Command you want and click Add in the middle to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar.
