First thing I did with my Office 2003 installation was turn that damned thing off.

Pre-2007, I found Word, Excel hard to use because it wasn't laid out well. Frequently, you could do the same thing two or three different ways. I found it confusing and time wasting digging through menus. I had the personalized menus turned off. Old Office just had the functions slapped on willy nilly. At least the newer version had some real thought and user input.
In 2007, I was up to speed quickly. I know that the ribbon is confusing for a lot of people because it took my Mom, who is extremely tech savvy, 30 minutes to figure out how to print a document.
