SUMMARY
When you upgrade from Microsoft Word 5.x to Word 98 Macintosh Edition, you may need help getting used to the new menus and toolbar buttons.

The following information from Word 98 Help explains a feature that will help you make the transition.

What's New With Toolbars and Menus?
If you upgraded to Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition from Microsoft Word for the Macintosh 5.1, there may be times when you would like to work in a more familiar environment. By enabling the Word 5.1 interface in Word 98, you can work with Word 5.1 menus and toolbars and still use all the new functionality of Word 98. When you enable the Word 5.1 interface, the following changes occur:


 * Word 98 displays the Word 5.1 toolbar.
 * The Word 5.1 ribbon toolbar and ruler are available on the View menu.
 * Word 98 rearranges menu commands to more closely correspond to the Word 5.1 menus.
 * Word 98 supports most Word 5.1 keyboard shortcuts.
