Office 2007 Beta feedback
Have been using Office 2007 Beta for about 2 weeks now (mainly Word & Excel).
Don't like the new layout (Word)- Toolbar is very cluttered now that every option is on permanent display. Can't find an option to Customise the Toolbars, other than the Quick Access Toolbar, which is lost amongst all the other on-screen clutter. Also don't like the fact that the Menu bar commands have been changed - bring back 'File, Edit, View, Tools', etc. Help menu has been replaced by an almost invisible 'question mark' icon squeezed into the top right corner of the window As an occasional user, it will take me months, if not years, to get familiar with where everything is, just in time for the next version to be released!!! Not worth upgrading, but this is not an option as Support, updates & even functionality for previous versions of MS Office products evaporates every few years!!! |

Office 2007 Beta feedback
Hi ?B?VUtkZWVqYXk=?=,
Can't find an option to Customise the Toolbars, other than the Quick Access Toolbar, which is lost amongst all the other on-screen clutter. Because there isn't any way to do so in the UI. It requires writing an XML document and putting it into the docx. FWIW you can move the QAT to display BELOW the "Ribbon". That does help. Also don't like the fact that the Menu bar commands have been changed - bring back 'File, Edit, View, Tools', etc. You can try this, just for fun: In Word 2003 (or earlier) create a new template (which you're going to name Normal.dot). Tools/Customize and create a new toolbar, saving it in this template. Hold CTRL and drag each Word menu (File, Edit, Insert, etc) into the toolbar. Save it as Normal.dot to a convenient folder. Close. Copy it to your Word 2007 machine and replace the existing Normal.dot. Start Word 2007 and look in the Add-ins tab :-) All your Word menus, just as you know them now. Of course, no guarantees that ALL of them will work. But most of them appear to...
