Outlook has a much nicer 'Look and Feel' as does Powerpoint. Seems OK to me - the mouse wheel scrolls between the different sections on the toolbar, CTRL+F1 gives the minimal tool bar. (Not trying any flaming here - I know responses on Internet can sometimes be mis read or mis-understood when people are just debating / discussing things). I don't think so: NMI - try installing it rather than just using a a 3rd party quote !!! - must be some places to 'Test drive' this stuff as per Windows 2021 Server - which anybody even private individuals can obtain for a 180 days free trial. Also if you see any cheap LTSC 2021 licenses beware as these are only issued to Enterprise and Corporate customers and not released into the retail chain. Beware though some of the cheap 2019 licenses are blacklisted by Ms and might work for a while but probably will fail after an update or too. I'm not going back to Office 2019 as my LTSC is VL !! so can use it on a load of computers. I selected 'dark grey' as the theme - they all work BTW even the dark one if that's your thing. The LTSC version I got from work but should be similar to retail. Office 2021 Brand new release - toolbars better, language features work properly etc etc.

I HATE subscription type software and won't have anything to do with it either.

Is there any way to force such an 'update'? Is it actually an update or feature update or what?Hi unifex At some point it produced a pop up inviting me to try the 'new look', but at the moment the computer was not connected to the internet and so I could not download whatever is necessary. I have recently installed the new Office 2021 (I absolutely refuse the concept of subscription software and hence do not use anything 365).
