Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I really want to make the
transition to 2007 and use it as provided, but it's nice to know I can fall
back on customizing stuff if I need to do so.

I'm getting nervous about the necessary switch I must make from Office
2003
to Office 2007, especially Word. Is there a way to customize the
individual mini toolbars that are now on the ribbon? I have added some of
my favorites to the Quick Access Toolbar, but I miss the customization I
did
on my Standard and Formatting toolbars in 2003. The default mini toolbars
in 2007 have things I don't use and the don't have things I do use. Can I
customize those???
You can't literally customize the built-in ribbon, but you can make your
own
groups and, in the extreme, hide all the built-ins and use only your
custom
ones.
A good place to start is Patrick Schmid's RibbonCustomizer utility
(http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribboncustomizer). To go further, start
reading
Patrick's tutorial on the RibbonX language used to modify the ribbon
(http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribbonx).
