I assume you mean this program: http://www.addintools.com/office2010/standard/index.html
It has nothing to do, however, with Windows 7, only with Office 2010.
This is what it says:
Classic Menu for Office Standard 2010 adds a "Menu" tab between the
"File" tab and "Home" tab in the Ribbon. It allows you to work with
Microsoft Office Standard 2010 as if it were Microsoft Office 2003.
Nothing about clicking on an icon (where) and choosing Word (I assume you mean Word, not Words). Does that menu tab (see the examples on that site) appear in Word? Then it works.
And let me note it says it's designed for use with Office 2010 (the full version). It could very well be that it works with Starter also, but that isn't mentioned. Maybe ask them?
And are you sure you have the 32-bit version of Word (that's the most common one, but not the only one)?
Finally: the ribbon needs some getting used to, but that's not impossible. Maybe just start with it and learn by doing.

If you can't get it working, there's a 60 day money-back guarantee.
It all sounds very marvellous, but after (seemingly) successful installation of the 32-bit version on my laptop (French Windows 7), I click on the icon Classic Menu 2010 Manager and (for example) click on Words - nothing happens. Installed on my PC, is the Starter version of MS Office. I have no intention of purchasing the full version, and bemoan the loss of the much more useful MS Office 97 which I used until now. My old faithful XP PC is next to my new one with the 97 version installed: whenever I get problems in Excel or Words, I go back to the old version, which is why I would like to download the Classic Menu on to my new laptop. Can anyone help?
