Hello Mary,

With respect, you will likely have to update within the next few months as Microsoft will be dropping all support for Office 2003 and Windows XP in April of 2014. However, if you are comfortable with the impending security risks, then the compatibility pack for Office will allow you to read the modern document formats in 2003. You can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=3.

Regards,
Steve

I appreciate the recommendation, but I thought I made myself clear. If
there is a way to keep using Ms2003 without having to fool with the
ribbon etc, that is what I want. I don't need recommendations to
upgrade. That is obviously a solution that is available if what I want
isn't there. But  recommending that I do what I just said I didn't want
to do is really not helpful!!!

I would recommend that you upgrade to 2007.  The ribbon isn't that bad once
you get the hang of it and there are key combinations for important things
like setting margins and the applications key still allows you to do some
things as well.

Don't know if the converter you need is still available.  Haven't used
Office 2003 for years.
