Of course you might consider removing your user account from the system, and setting up a new administrative account for the new users, but the easiest and most thorough way is to fully format your system and reinstall OS X. Backup The first step in any factory reset of the system is to completely back it up. You can do this using Time Machine, or with a system cloning tool.

Either method should result in a full copy of your computer which you can restore or migrate to a new system, if needed. Disable online accounts Next be sure to disable any services that are associated with your system, as some are machine-specific and require authorization of a limited number of machines to work. For example, if you play your iTunes music on additional computers, you will need to authorize them to play any DRM-protected iTunes content. If the Mac you are parting with is one of these systems, then first disable this authorization. Remove any third-party hardware If you have added any upgrades or expansions to the system, then you might consider removing them. Granted, RAM and hard drive upgrades may be difficult or unnecessary to undo, but if you have a Mac Pro with PCI express cards installed, then unless you are selling them together as a package, consider removing them from the system.

Format and reinstall The next step is to format your system and reinstall the original operating system software that came with it. While you can install the latest version of OS X that you purchased from the App Store, technically this is a copy licensed to you, not the new owners. Reinstalling the original version of OS X will allow the new owners to choose what version they would like to install. To reinstall the original version of OS X if your Mac came with a gray installation and restoration DVD, insert this into the optical drive and reboot with the C key held down. Then after selecting your language choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. In Disk Utility, select your internal hard drive (listed above any volume names contained on it), and you should see a 'Partition' tab appear. In this tab, choose '1 Partition' from the drop-down menu, and then give the partition a name, set it to be 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled),' and apply the changes.

If your system did not come with a gray restoration DVD, then you will need to use Internet Recovery to restore the original version of OS X. This will access Apple's servers and download the installation tools for the correct version that came with your system. To do this, ensure you have an for use with Internet Recovery, and then reboot with the Option-Command-R keys held to force loading to Internet Recovery.

Again, use Disk Utility to fully partition the internal boot drive, and then quit Disk Utility. Once the hard drive has been formatted, you can proceed with running the OS X installer, and wait for the content to download and be set up on the system. After the installer completes, the system will restart and show the welcome screen of the OS X setup assistant, at which point you can hold the power button to shut off the system (when it is next turned on it will start at the assistant). It is now ready for the new owners to turn on and set up, as if the Mac arrived straight from the factory. Post them below!

To illustrate Bob's answer here is a screenshot of the 'General Preferences' window. Notice at the bottom in Section called Personalized I have set Classic which set view to look like Bob's second screenshot. Note my Screenshot utility adds the outline and shading along with the annotations. I tend to like Classic as well.

To me (even shows in Bob's first screenshot illustrates,that the lettering is too small and should boldfaced. There not enough detailed contrast between the words and the background. Making Words in the Ribbon difficult to read when in Modern Mode.

I'm still not sure I understand completely, but you're quite right about the fact that the Office 2016 User Interface UI is decidedly different from that of any prior versions.

Lee (director of the aforementioned ‘Girl’s Plan’) returns to be behind the cameras to direct this story in which Hart plays a salesman who sees his life crumble. To try to have access to a better job, the protagonist decides to obtain his GED certificate (General Education Development Exam), where he will coincide with a group of authentic misfits. Hart will appear next to Megalyn Echikunwoke (An imperfect mother), Taran Killam (International assassins, 12 years of slavery), Ben Schwartz (TV Series Parks and Recreation, Star Wars: Episode VII), among others. The film is directed by Malcolm D. Lee and co-written by actor Kevin Hart (Go patrol, A spy and a half), among other writers.

I'll try to clarify as best as I can. If have more questions don't hesitate to ask. I think what you're referring to as 'layout' may be the choice of Office Theme. You have the choice of Colorful which provides a blue Title Bar with white lettering: as opposed to Classic, which presents a gray Title Bar with black text; You can switch from one to the other by going to Word Preferences - General. Select the one you prefer from the Office Theme dropdown & confirm OK when prompted that the change affects all Office 2016 programs. Also, the color scheme of the Status Bar (bottom of the window) will be the opposite of whatever the Title Bar is. IOW;.

Colorful = blue/white Title Bar with gray/black Status Bar,. Classic = gray/black Title Bar with blue/white Status Bar This won't cause any change to the icons on the Ribbon or any other aspects of the UI, though. The icons have been redesigned for a number of reasons. For better or worse they are what they are:-) Also, there are no Toolbars as you remember them in Office 2016. All commands/features can be accessed through the main Menu Bar & most are available on the various tabs Home, Insert, Design, etc.

of the Ribbon. It may be worth a few minutes to go to Help Word Help to review some of the information pertinent to this version in order to get a better 'feel' for the new design. Please mark HELPFUL or ANSWERED as appropriate to keep list as clean as possible ☺ Regards, Bob J.
