I use Office 2000 on Windows 10. I only install Word and FrontPage from it. No ribbons that you don’t like. IOW Word 2000 works fine.
I use Office 2003. I learned FrontPage years ago - before I retired in 2008. I didn’t know it was still being used.
Some newer programs with ribbon menus are not coded correctly, causing the ribbon to take up to 1/4 of the real estate on my 17” laptop — and it cannot be adjusted/reduced.
Whoever invented ribbon menus should be shot and don’t even wait for sunrise. They are some of the most cumbersome additions I have ever seen.
