You think that would have been on the home menu. But I do like the look of the new charts and flow menu. So now I am use to it, but this utility is handy to have for those buttons that they tossed in the trash like the macro buttons.

Well, as they haven't made any real changes and they have to have some reason to release a "new" version of Office, they changed the interface and said to the people that they had completely changed Office. Since the majority of people want to have the latest piece of software -even if they don't use it- the cash keeps coming in. And that's why we're struggling with this stupid interface now.

Alt-T gives you a list of every command under Tools, hit the letter corresponding to what command you want. I used that for almost every command, now I find my wrist hurting. It wouldnt have enraged so many people if there was a Switch To Classic Menus command along the lines of the ribbon somewhere, like in the control panel of XP!

I didn't particularly like 2007 when I first had to start using it, but now I've managed to get familiar with it. I still find myself searching for commands I use less frequently though. An excellent option you may consider is to enable the Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon and put your more frequent commands there. Just go in to Excel options from the Home button and then go to Customize. Check the box to enable the bar and add all the commands you want. Great option!

Other comments go something like this: "I knew the old interface like the back of my hand; I’ve been using the old interface for years; why did they have to change it?; why am I being forced to embark on a whole new learning curve?". And so on. I’ve seen many instances where people revert back to Office 2003 partially because of this, or otherwise reinstall Office 2003 in conjunction with Office 2007 and only use the latter when they absolutely have to. nds/colleagues at work) upgrade from MS Office 2003 to MS Office 2007 is “why in the world did they change the interface?”.

It turn our 2007 office into a 2003 one, and it doesn't make it special any more. i got the same fix some days ago from some soft feed that I don’t want to state. the point is that now I hate it, altough until I installed it, I was so eager to have it.

I kinda like how they're constantly "improving" their software. It forces our clients to utilize our consulting services generating new business revenue streams we'd be missing out on while we educate and build the powerful, long lasting relationships as our clients trusted advisors. That said, new tools/toys are awesome and greatly appreciated. If we can tailor our clients machines to their individual needs/preferences, delivering value while earning a reasonable wage... that's nothing but good times in my book. :) Cheers!

The ribbon in Office is a godsend. It's visual and intuitive. While you may long for that 1970's VW there are many new attractive features in Office 2007 and in 2010. I'm glad the Ribbon is here to stay. I agree with Norcross. The ribbon in Office is a godsend. It’s visual and intuitive.

I consider myself an Excel power user, and having things laid out in a logical manner just makes sense to me. The old menu worked well for a long time, but as more and more functionality was added in, the drop downs became too cluttered.
