Hi folks, I am interested in learning whether folks have found an add-on for
Office 2007 which replaces the ribbon line with the old 'File Menu' commands found in previous versions of Office. My IT folks are unwilling to provide a 3rd party add-on for this, so I was wondering what the larger Office community has to say. Thanks for your input. |

I would recommend getting used to the new interface rather than fuss with
third party add-in software. |

Hi
I agree with JoAnn that learning the new interface is a better way to go in the long run. MS have provided a variety of resources such as an interactive online guide where you click on how you would do something in 2003 and it shows you where that is in 2007 and downloadable spreadsheets that you can search for 'lost' commands: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/tr...295841033.aspx There are also training modules just for 2007: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/tr...255331033.aspx Good luck!

Did you see that TechSmith is adopting a ribbon interface?

0o0o0o no. I'm not surprised - the more commands there are the more
difficult it is to try and cram them all into menus.... Lucy |

Tsugazi, if you search the posts, you'll find links to several add-ons. Are
you a "captive" user. meaning is your employer mandating the use of Office 2007 ? If that's the case, you have my sympathy. You're probably part of the 85% "acceptance" Jensen Harris claims. In my case, I went back to Office 2003 and am slowly working on transitioning to OpenOffice & Zoho. I tried the ridiculous Ribbon and found it to be illogical, confusing and counterproductive. I don't see the value proposition in spending the $$$s to buy I don't like and spending the time and effort to learn a new GUI that does absolutely nothing for me. -- Gemini "Tsugazi" wrote: [..] |
