I cannot imagine a user of nearly 15 years, like myself, converting to the
Ribbon UI. This is an unimaginable design blunder.
Some of us are still keyboard-centric (we enter/create vs. access data).
Having to pick up the mouse every time to access what we see is painful at
best.
I was a beta tester for 95. I was in the cheering section for Office XP,
expecially Outlook, and I wouldn't buy Office 2007 personally or recommend it
to anyone who has ever used a computer.

which has considerable investment in training custom solutions for a given
version, not to mention the software itself. But MS claims that reception of
the new version is good.

Then that alone close any implementation plans for office 2007. If a
number
of companies follow the same path as ours then the low rate corporate
acceptance will encourage development of an application that has an
acceptable ROI.
Thanks for the reply and we look forward to the service pack

How do we turn on the old menu bar in word 2007? Without it office
2007 will
cost far to much to implement because employee's will need to be
retrained.
