Office 2007 is different to Office 2003 in 3 main ways:
- The introduction of a "ribbon"
- The removal of toolbars & menu's
- The introduction of XML file format
The ribbon, removal of toolbars & menus
The ribbon takes the form of a barat the top of the screen. It replaces the normal drop-down menu's and toolbars and instead categorises tool buttons into "tabs". It can take some getting used to, though the interface design is said by Microsoft to make usage easier.
A guide for the changes can be seen at the Microsoft site (see related links)
XML file format
This means two things, the default format to save work has an X at the end of it (i.e. docx) and this file format cannot be read by 2003 (without downloading a 2007 viewer). So its often a good idea save as a 2003 document, just to ensure usability on other computers.
Other Features
Office 2007 also comes complete with many new templates, giving the user much more selection and the ability to make their work look much more professional than similar templates within Office 2003.

∙ 13y agoOffice 2007 has a really different interface, but more importantly, uses a new format called .docx. If you have office 2003 or earlier, you have to install a package from microsoft.com to view a docx document.
Word
The traditional 2003 has a very basic look which is similar to Office 2000, which a little bit of color changes. There are some major improvements in Word 2007 in terms of how the interface's appears. Word 2007 now has more colorful interface, and it reorganized all the little applications.
Word 2007 now supports a new document format, DOCX. However, users can still save in DOC.
Power Point
The difference is mostly in templates. Users can have more choices of templates in Power point 2007 than 2003, and it also has more effects for the templates.
Exel
Excel 2003 and 2007 have very similar functions. IN excel 2003, Enhancements have been made to the list functionality, which make lists easier to use. It also added automatic filter and border.
There is no major difference between these two programs, except the look of interface and the ribbon of each application. However, some detail improvements has made office 2007 looks more professional and sophisticated.

2000 is a bit slower, harder to work out, not as many choices, less professional. You get my drift?
