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.
