Let's get down to the truth.

Microsoft knew this was going to be a BIG problem with their installed user
base. All their efforts to play this change up validate that assumption.

However, Microsoft has a huge incentive to force the userbase to use the
ribbon. They have legal protection on the ribbon desgin and are in fact
licensing it to other companies. If they get all Office users to adapt to
this new format, there is a huge payoff for Microsoft.

They don't really care about how easy the program is for you to use. They
care about their stock options!

My two cents.

How do we turn on the old menu bar in word 2007? Without it office 2007 will

Hey everybody. I found this message board because I am trying to turn ON the
ribbon for Outlook 2007. I've been using the ribbon for Excel 2007 for a
couple months now and I like it, but for some reason, when I upgraded it
didn't give me the ribbon for Outlook. This makes me think there IS a way to
turn it on and off. I've looked everywhere for a way to turn it on, but right
now I still have the File, Edit, etc menu's in Outlook 2007 and no ribbon.
Help!

Sorry to break your heart, but there is NO RIBBON for the UI in Outlook
2007, except in the message editor. Start a new message or reply to one and
you will see the Ribbon. Other than that, the ribbon is NOT part of the
Outlook interface.

HTH,

I've been a worprocessor using MS word for 18 years and have recently
upgraded from 2003 to 2007. I found that I could create a toolbar that
resembles the toolbars in 2003, then hide the ribbons and cruise right along.
The upgrade to 2007 really isn't that difficult to learn. The engineers,
chemists, and geologist that i work for have managed to pick it it pretty
quickly, so anyone used to using word should have no problems.

There is a toolbar left in Word 2007; that is true: the Quick Access
Toolbar.
