And it is still quite possible to set table columns to an exact width.

Yep - it has nearly all been said. My 2 cents worth as a tech writer
In Word 2003 I have edited all the tool bars down to what I need and
the lot, including track changes, drawing bar and some spare room, all
fit in one narrow bar leaving the maximum real estate for work.
I.e., the QAT.
The ribbon means I loose work space and have to put up with a lot of
garbage that I never want to see as I do the tasks with my keyboard.
Not if you minimize the Ribbon (double-click on any of its tabs).
And the default output is docx, yuck.
Maybe half the size of the same file in .doc format.
[snip praise of OO. Maybe it has the features _you_ need, but it's
perfectly lousy for what I need to do.]
