And why not hide the pedals behind the carpet, and change the steering wheel
for a joystick so that all that driving experience is wasted and you have to
learn to drive all over again
The only thing that would shift this leviathan would be if the take up of
2007 was minuscule. Let's see what the corporates make of it, when faced
with the retraining bill.

more profit for the vehicle manufacturers.

Not that this excuses it, but according to MS data, only a fraction
of users customized Office. They think the changes will be better
for the majority of users, and for new users in the future. I hate
it too, but that was the thought process.

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.

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?
