The ribbon is DREADFUL for power users who've learned literally hundreds of paths to things and all those paths have now moved. There are also some commands which simply arent there any more. This novice dweeb gices no evidence as to why it's better, just rants on and on about why it is. Utter drivel.

SHOWING the ribbon instead of yakking about it would've made this video *useful*.

Can't argue with your experience. However, heaps of us have used Office for many many years, and memorised the menus. New ribbons very awkward for this kind of user. MS should give the option.

Not ANYONE. I've been trying for over 6 months. I've decided to go back to Office XP. Very poor how MS has made a statement in FAQs "There IS NO WAY to restore the menus" - yet another developer has managed to do it! Mind you, for $30. Come on Microsoft, you make enough money, give us a fair go!

To quote Jay, the Ribbons "lick balls".If I had known how much of a let down 2007 office was, I would never purchased it with my computer. I have found two items that grate me.1) You can no longer insert a picture directly from a scanner2) Excel no longer reads lotus files.I have had office 2007 for a while and the ribbon still bugs me.

ANYONE that give the ribbon a try will never go back. Yes it takes a while to get used to- but once you do you will wonder how you ever managed without it! Hell i cant even use the old 2002/3 layout anymore

MS is a cranial suker - why reinvent the wheel? What was wrong with the old help menu?Today's mentality - relearn the same 'basic' routines over and over until nothing new and advanced is accomplished. Give more cash to MS.Think for yourself, not what Microsoft thinks you want!Put these powerful machines to good use...invent something good and helpful for mankind, not fluff we don't need nor want!Sorry, the ribbon is ridiculous!
