Default I REALLY do not like Word 2007

No-one posting here is a Microsoft employee. This is a user peer group
forum.

Most of the problems of the new interface are caused by unfamiliarity. I am
told that it becomes much better with familiarity.

Dear Doug,

You are right, that is also what I am doing at the moment.

However, you do realise, of course, that what you are saying is that
we should reject and ignore the new much-vaunted interface and try to
recreate a pseudo-2003 look. It doesn't say much for Microsoft that
one of their employees (I think?) is recommending this solution.

I hate the Ribbon because it is so rigid and non-customizable. It has
a host of options I will never use (Word is a word processor not a
DTP program) such as an automatic Japanese greeting, and I am forced
to sift through a jungle of icons to find what I want.
