Move ribbon to the side
Can I move the ribbon from the top to the side?
At a time when laptops / PCs are going widescreen it is inconvenient to lose usable height when there is spare width. |

No, the ribbon can't be moved.

You can however minimize the ribbon and customize the Quick Access Toolbar
so that it has most if not all of the buttons on it that you will need. I agree with you however that much better use could be made of the space on the left and right of the screen. -- Hope this helps.

Thanks to you both.
Perhaps Microsoft will improve on this in a Service Pack. Having just paid to move to 2007 I'd hate to have to wait till the next chargeable release to improve this feature.

Hi ?B?Q2xpdmU=?=,
Perhaps Microsoft will improve on this in a Service Pack. Having just paid to move to 2007 I'd hate to have to wait till the next chargeable release to improve this feature. I doubt anything will be changed in a Service Pack... About the only thing you can do would be to get an Add-in, such as ToolbarToggle, that will let you create your own "toolbars". (They aren't really toolbars, but you can use them in a very similar way - including positioning them where ever you need them.) Then you could put commands you need for certain tasks, or that you always want on the side, on such a toolbar.

We just got a home PC with the appalling Ribbon. Looks like AmiPro 1996,
with symbols for the bewildered. A total and absolute waste of space on screen - it should be moved to the side. When it's possible under Windows 95 to move the windows and the program bars to the side in order to free up vertical space, this is a move backwards. It'll get to the stage that the amount of visible text will be the same as in a typewriter. |
