So you can't have your own customized toolbars displayed by default, you'd
first have to open the Add-ins tab of the ribbon to get to those toolbars???

This is unbelievable. MS has simply turned Word into a different
application.

People have a way of working, including customizations that they may have
taken years developing and are very accustomed to, and now all that must be
junked and we must start over at a kindergarten level.

This is truly horrific. This is the fruit of the Gates cult of innovation
for the sake of innovation. Innovation is the god, and they don't care
about the actual impact of these innovations on actual users.

Macros can be added to the QAT, but not a drop down menu of the type you
would be thinking about. Any toolbars that you had created will end up in
the Add-Ins tab of the ribbon.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for asking this. I don't have Word 2007 in front of me at the
moment.
Maybe the question wiill be useful for others.

With that Quick Access Toolbar, is it possible to put drop down menus on
it
and populate those menus with our own commands and macros?

If yes, then what happens with the accelleroate keys. Let's say I want
to
create a menu called Window, to make up for the Window menu that Word
2007
has eliminated, and put in that menu certain macros and command, just as
I
have in my current Word 97. And let's say I make "W" the accelerator
key
for that menu. Will the Alt+W for that menu be blocked by the Alt+W
that
is
used to open the View tab in the ribbon?

What if the ribbon is minimized? In that case would Alt+W work to open
my
customized menu?

If menus and macros cannot be added to the QAT, is it still possible in
Word
2007 to create your own customized toolbars with your own menus?
