Just got a different office PC and it has Office 2007 Pro installed. The user interface and screen layout bites the big one. In Office XP, I had all my toolbars customized and laid out so the would work for me. There does not appear to be a way to lay out the bars the way I had them before and also use the small icons. The new layout take up a lot of valuable screen area and have to jump back and forth between menu option to get items I want instead of allowing me to create my own custom toolbars. The cell lines in Excel are almost invisible. There are no drop down menues for such items as File, Tools, or even Help. I think I would rather have my old PC back then to work with this ill-conceived version of office.

Get used to it, with weeks of learning you may never go back to XP. I wont.

In Office 2007, click on the Help Tab, and search for something like "disable ribbon". All will be revealed.
OR:
Try the free, and M$-Office compatible, Open Office from:
Included: Writer (like Word), Calc (Excel), Impress (PowerPoint), Base (Access), Draw (M$-Paint) and Math
Just make sure that if you want others to be able to view the documents using M$-Office Word, for example, save them using "Save as..." in .doc format, instead of the default .odt format.
Or use the built-in PDF creation feature.
