Yes Soms,is that a different way of doing things?
No it is the same but first you need to get to file menu.
Press the "Alt" key and the menu bar will appear at the top of the screen with all the usual options, File menu, Edit menu etc etc.
If you want it to stay there all the time go on the View menu, select tollbars or something and tick Menu toolbar.
Sorry if that is a little vague but I have declined to use IE7.
