No. Double-click the ribbon and it will shrink to a single line.
White-on-blue has gone forever.
It's fine to want a "Glass Typewriter", and there are products out there
(such as Windows Write, part of Windows) designed for this.
It's fine to want a smarter version of EMACS or TeX too. And Word 2007
ain't it :-) It's not designed for the usage I need, either. But there you
go :-)
Word 2000 is one of my favourite flavours of Word. In the meantime, it's
going to take me quite a while to figure out how to get the hood open on
Word 2007 so I can get rid of the silliness that gets in my way and put it
to work. But I'll get the Patrick's Ribbon Customizer will help a lot
:-)

You could switch to draft mode in 2007 and then minimize the ribbon by
either using CTRL-F1 or double-clicking a tab (the same operation will
reverse it). Then the ribbon will be more like a menu.
In 2000, you can get into a mode where the menu does not show up on the
screen at all or take up any space. You can have your screen fully devoted to
text, with just scroll and status bars, if you like. Is this possible in 2007.
