I'm sure I'm not the only one having installed Office 2007 only to find the
new UI difficult to say the least. There seems to be a number of software
vendors selling an Office 2003 toolbar but it makes me wonder why Microsoft
doesn't offer this as part of Office itself, i.e let the user decide between
old classic style (2003) or new 2007 style UI. With this new UI I can't
imagine why a large entereprise would ever go to 2007 given the huge support
issues this would cause. Come on Microsoft, can you please give the users
back the choice.

Companies are avoiding Office2007 and vista like the plauge...
here is my previous post>>>>
I adapted in 1 hour, thats not the problem..
geeks adapt fast.. its the poor simple user that is the victim..
But even if you adapt there is many people who say the ribbon is slower and
more confusing.
I might agree but there was a solution>>>>
MS SHOULD have provided the old menu-toolbars as an alternative too!!!

I've downloaded and installed that plug-in, since I can't stand that
ridiculous "Ribbon". IMHO, the "Ribbon" is one of the worst design blunders
to come from MS.
Anyway, if that plug-in is "active", i.e. if you've clicked on the "Menus"
item in the main menu, then the keyboard commands don't work.
