Classic Tab usage scenarios
An individual may buy a Classic Tab licence to regain their 2003 levels of productivity
- because they are too busy to retrain,
- until they complete a busy period where there is no time to learn the new structure,
- because they need to work in Excel 2007 and Excel 2003, and the switching interfaces is a challenge without Classic Tab.
- to benefit from the clearer Data tab included in Classic Tab.

- To demonstrate a desire to help key workers maintain productivity,
- To reduce retraining time, cost and effort,
- To minimise support costs.
