Here's hoping that millions of users and thousands of companies react as you
have done, since apparently that is the only thing that will persuade the
people at Microsoft what a hideous catastrophe Word 2007 is.

FYI again
I am not very interested in old tool bars for new programs. I have been
using 2007 trial and sadly I'm not impressed. I do understand that I will
have to learn this software to be competitive in todays workforce but I
don't
like it. I've spent years learning how to manipulate software via menus
and
now I have to relearn how to do it via ribbons (which is a fancy word for
"over sized tool bar.") I'm going to go to 2003 on my system once the
trial
runs out.
Here is an interesting idea: since someone can program a new tool bar for
2007 could someone program an interface for language compatibility with
..NET
for VB6? I think this would be something a lot of people would be
interested
in.

Hi Chris,
And there's a more sophisticated tool that's just come out here. It
includes
what the Chinese is offering (the "Lite" version), plus one that lets
you
customize the menus, create your own toolbars, and add your own macros
and
AutoText. The toolbar can also be floated.
What's more, you can save each set of customizations - including where
the
toolbars are located - in individual documents.
It costs 19.95 for a single license, with discounts for volume licenses.
And
you can get 5% off by using the coupon code MVPCINDY
http://www.toolbartoggle.com
For those of you who must have the drop down menus fear no more.
A chinese developer has created an Add In for Office and it's $29.00
(those
folks are becoming quite the capitalists...)
