(Yes, to me that is annoying.) For me, Content Controls are the strongest feature of the Ribbon version.
Word 2003 is a perfectly good program. The binary file format is a bit more prone to trouble than the ribbon version .dotx files. If Word 2003 is doing what you want, stick with it.
USB DVD Drive: Yes. Get one. Even if not for this. Lots of stuff on DVDs and I borrow movies from the public library sometimes. These drives are not expensive, especially when compared to a DVD/Blueray player.

Yeah man I hate when things keep changing! Well sir I think you've convinced me. I thought about it and I think what I'll do is install 2003 on my Windows 11 computer, but just in case I'll also make LibreOffice backups of all my stuff just in case. No harm in having both on my tool belt!
I'll have one foot in the tried-and-true, and the other one's toe dipped in the new and unfamiliar! At the core of it all, I just care about not losing all my work over some technical stuff I don't understand. God forbid, man. I don't even want to imagine it.
Thank you for the advice and for taking the time to help me out again, Charles. You da man!
