If you are happy with the ribbon UI, then you are fine.
Personally, I can't stand it. So I use either Word 97, which has everything I need and a nicely minimal UI, and uses the same file formats as Office into the 21st century, or Word 2003.
Note that in 97 I've turned off everything. No ribbon, no ruler, no toolbars, just menus and scroll bars, and I normally turn off the horizontal scrollbar too.
In Word 2003 I've left some of the clutter turned on so you can see the difference: the ruler and one toolbar.
Word 97 can't handle big portrait screens, for instance.
